In the peaceful mountains of Gifu, this spacious 11DK wooden house offers nearly 193㎡ of living space and was originally built in 1978. With its elevated position, the property boasts open views of the surrounding countryside and unforgettable sunsets that bathe the home in a warm glow 🌅.
The residence comes with a generous plot of land measuring about 1,743㎡, including not only residential ground but also farmland and road sections, making it an ideal retreat for anyone dreaming of rural living and even small-scale farming 🌿.
The interior features 11 traditional-style rooms, giving you endless options for bedrooms, guest rooms, or creative studio spaces. Next to the main home, there’s also a detached annex. Water is provided both through public supply and a natural water channel flowing through the property, adding a charming countryside touch.
Despite its tranquil setting, the nearest train station is only about 1.6 km away 🚉, meaning you can walk there in 20 minutes or reach it in just 5 minutes by car. Parking space for at least two cars is also available.
Gero is renowned throughout Japan for its hot springs ♨️, often listed among the top three onsen towns in the country. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it blends traditional charm with the healing atmosphere of nature.
