In the peaceful mountains of Niigata Prefecture, this 3-story Japanese house offers an incredible amount of space for just $29K. Built in 1991, the property features a generous 266㎡ of living space with a spacious 7DK layout, including seven traditional rooms that are perfect for a large family, a countryside retreat, or even a guesthouse. 🌿
Set on a 456㎡ plot, the house overlooks the crystal-clear Hagama River and sits just before the beautiful Hagama Dam, surrounded by breathtaking scenery in every season. One of its biggest advantages is that no major renovations are needed, allowing you to move in and start enjoying rural Japan right away.
The home also includes an authentic irori sunken hearth, double-glazed windows, abundant storage, a bright south-facing orientation, and fresh mountain water used for snow melting during winter. With room for 3+ cars and a peaceful natural setting, this property is an exceptional opportunity to own a spacious Japanese countryside home at an affordable price. 🏡
