Full description

Recommended points: Located in a forest full of negative ions. The interior is in relatively good condition. Highly recommended for its spacious, open-feeling U-shaped veranda and pellet stove. / Other remarks: Built in 1999, 26 years have passed since construction. The roof is showing significant aging and requires repainting. Exposed wooden areas are deteriorating from wind-driven rain, requiring some repairs. The entire structure is now at a stage requiring anti-rot and anti-termite treatment.
