Zora – Designer Luxury Home with Yotei Views in St. Moritz, Niseko

From Makoto Nakayama Architects—the studio behind Niseko’s most iconic residences, including Sansui and Zaborin—comes their latest private retreat, set within the quiet residential enclave of St. Moritz, just five minutes from the energy of Hirafu’s main street.

Zora is a fully furnished, three-storey, four-bedroom villa designed for discerning families and modern entrepreneurs seeking a refined holiday home that offers both retreat and connectivity. A harmonious fusion of Japanese restraint and Northern European warmth, Zora is calm, deliberate, and timeless—a home that does not impress loudly, but endures.

Every level is thoughtfully composed. You arrive into a beautifully designed basement entrance, setting the tone from the moment you step inside. The second floor houses three en-suite bedrooms, including a master suite with a full bath, alongside a dedicated study—ideal for those who wish to stay connected while away. The top floor opens into a light-filled living and dining space with an open-plan kitchen fitted with Miele appliances, complemented by a flexible fourth room that can become a bedroom, media room, or private sanctuary to suit the owner’s lifestyle.

A 10-metre-wide balcony spans the upper level, offering unobstructed views of Mount Yotei and the Tokyu Grand Hirafu ski slopes—an ever-changing canvas of snow, light, and sky.

Zora is one of a kind: removed from the bustle of Hirafu, yet close enough to remain effortlessly connected. Its conception reflects a deep understanding of what it means to find a true home away from home, even amidst Niseko’s snowy allure.

For those who value exclusivity, design integrity, and a sense of place, Zora is an exceptional opportunity to own a landmark residence in St. Moritz—an emerging enclave just a stone’s throw from the heart of Niseko, where luxury and functionality meet in perfect balance.

Asking Price is USD 3,000,000.
