In Fukui, this remarkable traditional Japanese home offers 230㎡ of living space on an enormous 1,479㎡ freehold plot. 🏡 The main house is over 150 years old and has been carefully restored while preserving its original character, with major renovation work completed in 2006.
The spacious 10LDK layout includes Japanese and Western-style rooms, a system kitchen with IH cooking, renovated bathroom, washroom and toilet, plus air conditioning and lighting. The property also includes a historic two-story earthen storehouse built in 1868, two additional storage buildings, an unregistered garage and forest land. 🌲 Surrounded by roads on all four sides, the home enjoys a quiet countryside setting and a south-facing orientation.
Public water and sewage are connected, and parking is available. For around $86,000, this is a rare chance to own a vast historic Japanese property with multiple outbuildings and authentic character in rural Fukui. 🇯🇵 A rare find.
