Thailand-based property buyers and investors will be able to learn more about the Japanese ski resort of Niseko at an event in Bangkok on August 6th – August 9th.
The event, hosted by real estate firm Colliers International Thailand, will feature Eddie Guillemette, the Chief Executive Officer of the Niseko Resorts Group, who will be attending an exclusive lunch seminar and a series of private meetings to discuss the leisure persuit destination near Hokkaido.
Christian Robb, Senior Sales Manager, International Project Sales and Marketing at Colliers, said: “Niseko was really popular with Thai visitors during the 2013/2014 Winter season following the recent opening of direct flights from Suvarnabhumi to Sapporo, the largest City in Hokkaido, and the introduction by the Japanese Government of the 15-day tourist visa-free period for Thai nationals to enter the country.”
He added: “We were approached by Mr Guillemette to act as sole agent to market their newest Niseko development – The Orchards – in time for the 2014/2015 Winter season”.
The Orchards (pictured), an exclusive master planned community, celebrated its launch earlier this year with the opening of the clubhouse and launch of the resort hospitality services in Niseko, Asia’s premier international mountain resort.
The third and most recent development by property specialists, Niseko Resorts Group, The Orchards offers a combination of privacy, space and convenience with 46 luxury home plots and five commercial plots over seven hectares of land.
Located in a pristine natural environment with panoramic views, mature cherry trees and a large central feature pond, The Orchard is a 1.2km drive from Niseko’s Hirafu ski village.
The Orchards offers its buyers a luxury build-to-order service, combined with community assets and space for commercial operations and hospitality services to be enjoyed year round. Buyers select their preferred plot of land within the estate and then complement it with a home style that best suits their lifestyle needs.
Homes are either fully customised in partnership with The Orchard’s architect, or selected from a menu of pre-designed homes that allow the flexibility to add personal touches throughout.
Guillemette said: “We are thrilled to be given the opportunity for our development to be showcased in Thailand by Colliers International.
“We have witnessed a significant increase in Thai tourists recently which has been really positive. There is no restriction on foreign ownership of freehold land and houses in Japan, which has helped fuel the interest of prospective Thai based buyers in our resort location.
“Niseko is much more than just a ski destination but a healthy, four seasons retreat for families like my own who live in crowded cities where clean air, space, and amazingly fresh food can be hard to find,” he added.
