Full description
A charming log-house style building nestled in the forest beyond a small path. Despite being in the forest, the sunlight is excellent as shown in photos. The interior layout features a Japanese room and Western room on the left side, and a Japanese room with kitchen on the right side. The space is compact and easy to use. The kitchen is well-maintained and ready to use immediately. The bathroom and toilet are also clean and usable. However, the faucet needs installation and the electric water heater needs replacement. Outside, there is ample parking space for multiple vehicles. Originally used as a vacation home, there is a staircase leading down with vegetable garden space beyond. This property offers an opportunity to enjoy a compact log-house lifestyle with farming in the forest. / Property condition: partial renovation required / Additional information: vacant since 2020, electricity connected, Western-style flush toilet, electric water heater not functional and requires replacement
