Hidden away in the tranquil northern mountains of Kyoto City, this charming 4DK traditional wooden house is your perfect escape into rural Japan 🍃. Built in 1980, this cozy single-story home offers 113㎡ of living space and sits on a sprawling 799.51㎡ plot of land, that’s almost 800㎡ of your very own Japanese countryside!
Inside, you’ll find four spacious rooms, each over six tatami mats in size, all bathed in natural light thanks to their southeastern exposure 🌞.
This property also includes a magnificent traditional Japanese pond, perfect for moments of reflection or garden design lovers, and a dreamy bathroom that blends comfort and rustic elegance like nowhere else 🛁🌸
While nestled in nature, this home remains accessible: just a 6-minute walk from the nearest bus stop. The outdoor space is just as impressive – imagine gardens, BBQs, or a home farm, and there’s room to park up to 3 cars.
If you’re dreaming of a peaceful, slower life surrounded by forested hills and fresh air, this house may just be the perfect match ! 🍂
