Full description

Estate surrounded by elegant gardens with a leisurely atmosphere. The heart of the home features a spacious 15-tatami Japanese room that opens into a grand hall when the sliding doors are pulled back. A veranda on the southeast side offers a perfect spot for naps while enjoying nature. The corridor connecting the main house and annex features large windows with views of the garden, a private world unto itself. The changing seasonal landscape offers beautiful views throughout the year. Highlights: the expansive property includes a historic storehouse and impressive garden in addition to the main residence. The stone path leading to the annex resembles an upscale traditional inn. Repair needs: minor repairs required. Notes: Reception: 4G, LTE (au). Furnishings: present (the seller will dispose of furnishings in the storehouse and storage shed after the sales contract is signed.)
