Full description

Entrance to the property. Natural scenery spreads out. A vast plot too large to capture in a single photograph. This is premium seating with a commanding view of the mountain ridge. While repairs are needed, thinking about how to use the shed is exciting. The path to the property continues along a narrow mountain road. A few minutes' drive along a forest road from the Narashio district settlement. The land is located near the foot of Narashio Mountain. First, you are greeted by this expansive plot of approximately 1,500 tsubo. Advancing along a path lined with plum trees and pampas grass from the entrance, then climbing a gentle slope, a landscape worth pausing for awaits. A special location with a commanding view of the mountain ridges. You find yourself immersed in the comfort of this place for a while. The original owner's family was engaged in agriculture here, so work and rest sheds remain. While they need some work, with electricity and well water already available, there is potential for various uses. And above all, the sheer size. This land is suitable not only for living but also for those interested in starting agriculture or other businesses alongside residence. Starting mountain village living may involve some challenges such as tree and grass maintenance, land development, and drainage system installation. The road is quite narrow with curves, and there are concerns about snow accumulation and icy roads in winter, so caution is needed for those with large vehicles or uncomfortable driving. However, in return, you could build a house to your specifications using this location, start agriculture by inheriting the existing environment, or remodel the shed to enjoy your hobbies, with your ideas, the possibilities are endless. Although it is at the foot of a mountain, it is a short distance from the settlement. Narashio has lovely bakeries and pottery studios with many migrants, so it seems like a perfect place to start something new. Please experience the potential of this place that cannot be fully conveyed in photographs. "Though it takes work, your dreams expand accordingly", why not create your own ideal world in such a place? ※Agricultural land; purchase requires agricultural land law approval. / Special notes: Land category: field (agricultural conversion procedures required), 215 m² of the property is classified as public road, outside urban planning area
