For around $125K, this remarkable 9LDK countryside home in Nara offers 237㎡ of living space on a 682㎡ hilltop property surrounded by mountain views. 🏡 Built in 1998, the wooden two-story house blends traditional Japanese character with generous modern living areas, including adjoining tatami rooms, an 18-tatami LDK, a lattice-ceiling entrance and an open staircase.
Upstairs, a second living area has its own mini-kitchen and bar-style counter, making the layout ideal for family, guests or multigenerational living. 🌿 The property also includes around 297㎡ of land for vegetables or fruit trees, plus a separate two-story annex of about 68㎡ that could become a studio, hobby room or workspace.
Parking is available for up to 3 cars, and the Haibara area with shops and daily conveniences is around 15min away by car. With its garden, farmland, mountain scenery and spacious layout, this could be an incredible primary home or peaceful Japanese holiday retreat.
