Deep within the lush greenery of the Izu Highlands lies this peaceful single-story wooden house in the Cactus Park Villa area of Ito City, Shizuoka 🌿. Built in 2000, this 60㎡ home offers a cozy yet refined retreat surrounded by trees and nature, a perfect escape from the noise of the city.
As you walk down toward the entrance, the scene transforms from a modern parking space (enough for one car) into a charming, traditional Japanese-style home quietly tucked between the bushes. The surrounding garden, complete with a small pond and even what seems to be a fountain, creates a tranquil atmosphere that feels almost like stepping into a private world.
The house itself has been fully renovated : floors, walls, and ceilings have been refreshed, and the plumbing is spotless. Inside, everything feels neat, minimalistic, and incredibly peaceful, almost like a boutique hotel before check-in 🏡✨.
Internet is available, making it easy to use the property as a creative retreat or a remote work base. With just one bedroom and an open 1LK floor plan, it’s perfect for a couple or solo adventurer who values quiet mornings, nature sounds, and starlit nights 🌙.
