Full description
When you visit a place, there are times when you instinctively feel excited. The spacious grounds and three buildings, each with their own character, weave together in this captivating form. This time, as if returning to a child's mind and creating a secret base, the property evoked a desire to build a rural mountain dwelling base. The reason for adding "Reconstruction" to the title is that the main house requires renovation as a matter of course (the foundation also needs repair), the sewage is currently septic, and there are many areas that need work. The barn and cottage will require significant customization, but that in turn deepens the interest of the location. In terms of usage, the volume is too large for pure residential use alone, so it seems suited for those who want to combine residence with a shop or office, or those with diverse hobbies who can fully utilize the three buildings and grounds. The essence of this property lies in fundamentally reconstructing the very nature of this place. The potential is large and expectations are high. However, aside from potential, since this is a large plot for residential use, appropriate financial planning will be needed. The charming atmosphere full of rural folk house character and excitement will likely captivate many. Points of concern include: the main house requires renovation, it is currently septic and ideally a treatment tank should be installed, and the approach from the public road to the property (within the grounds) is somewhat narrow and requires care even for regular vehicles. / Remarks: Land classification: Residential
