Among the greenery of Tochigi, Japan, this $42,000 Japanese villa feels like a private escape for slow weekends and quiet mornings 🌄. The 1LDK home offers 58㎡ of living space on 265㎡ of freehold land, with one bedroom, an open living and dining area, a wooden deck, and an airy atrium that makes the compact interior feel bright and welcoming.
Built in February 1999, the house was partially renovated in July 2026 with new wallpaper, updated lighting, a wall-mounted dehumidifier, an underfloor ventilation fan, and fresh paint on the deck. A clear stream runs through the property, while the generous distance from neighboring homes adds privacy and a peaceful resort atmosphere.
Hot spring water source connection is available ♨️, and the villa also includes air conditioning, fiber-optic internet, storage, a heated toilet seat, propane gas, private water, septic facilities, and parking for 2 or more cars. Vacant and ready for immediate handover, it is a calm Nasu retreat surrounded by nature.
