Located in the beautiful beach town of Hayama, famed for its beaches, year round restaurants and bars and a vibrant local and expat community, your dream Japan retreat awaits. Just 40 minutes from downtown Yokohama, 90 mins from central Tokyo and 90 minutes from Haneda international airport. Yet Hayama is still a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city, without losing any of the convenience of city living.

Completed in 2023, this beautifully designed two-story residence offers 120 m² of living space on a generous 238.69 m² freehold plot. The spacious 3SSLDK layout provides plenty of room for family life, working from home, or welcoming guests, while the property's modern construction and relaxed setting make it equally suited as a permanent residence or weekend escape.

The home is an all-electric smart house designed for comfort, efficiency, and year-round living. Its energy-conscious features include a 24-panel solar installation, battery storage, and foam-blown insulation. The solar panels are installed on a south-facing shed roof, custom designed and angled to maximize sun exposure.

The living room has a vaulted ceiling and ceiling fan, creating a bright, open central living space. It can also be converted into a private home theatre, with an in-ceiling projector and integrated speakers.

The wall plaster is Aimori, an eco-friendly product made from scallop shells harvested in Hokkaido as a by-product of the sushi industry. It has natural filtration capabilities and antibacterial and deodorizing properties, helping to filter the air while also acting as an excellent insulator.

The generous lot also provides plenty of on-site parking, an unusually valuable feature in Japan where larger lots and ample private parking are often difficult to find.

One of the home's greatest attractions is its exceptional coastal location. Isshiki Beach, Shinnase Beach, and Shibasaki Point are approximately 150 to 300 metres away, placing three distinct seaside destinations practically on the doorstep. The area also offers several popular dive spots and dive shops, making the property particularly appealing to anyone who enjoys swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, paddleboarding, or other marine activities.

Isshiki Beach is known for its calm waters, beautiful sunsets, and relaxed atmosphere. It is widely regarded as one of the most attractive beaches along the Shonan coastline, offering an ideal setting for swimming, coastal walks, or simply enjoying the sea.

Also within walking distance is Morito Beach, one of the best-loved beaches in the greater Tokyo metropolitan region. Its sandy shoreline, calm waters, and views across Sagami Bay toward Enoshima and, on clear days, Mount Fuji make it an exceptional place to enjoy swimming, paddleboarding, evening walks, or simply watching the sunset.

Hayama itself offers a distinctive combination of seaside living, nature, and understated sophistication. Cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and marine activities give the area a relaxed resort character, while Tokyo and Yokohama remain within convenient reach.

Combining thoughtful contemporary design, renewable energy, advanced insulation, flexible living space, generous parking, and an exceptional coastal setting, this is a distinctive Hayama home with both everyday livability and long-term appeal.
