Situated on a hill in Wakayama, this beautifully renovated countryside villa is the definition of peaceful Japanese living. Priced at just $176K, this spacious 5SLDK offers an impressive 183㎡ of living space and was originally built in June 1978 before being completely transformed into a modern retreat.
Surrounded by mandarin orange orchards and dense forests, the property enjoys total privacy with no neighboring houses, giving you uninterrupted panoramic mountain views from sunrise to a sky full of stars at night. ✨ The stylish interior features designer finishes, warm indirect lighting, and large windows that bring nature inside.
Set on an expansive 1,188㎡ lot with approximately 648㎡ of adjoining farmland and mature persimmon trees, it's perfect for gardening, self-sufficient living, or creating a luxury Airbnb getaway. 🍊Whether you live here or rent it out, this property offers outstanding value.
