Full description
Many materials are carved with intricate details; a splendid building filled with the carpenter's craftsmanship! / Recommended points: A historic folk house built with fine materials as in days past! A building where you can see the carpenter's attention to detail throughout. / Contract notes: The interior is in the middle of renovation. The layout drawing labels a Japanese-style room, but currently it is in board/floorboard condition. Barn furnishings to be removed by the seller. Rice field transfer requires consultation. / Additional remarks: The main house was built in Showa 58 (1983) and 42 years have passed. Winter brings very heavy snow in this region. Access: snow removal maintained; outside urban planning area / within landslide warning zone
