Mountain views, a wooden terrace and a hot spring escape for $101,000? This chalet-style home in Yufu, Oita Prefecture, pairs mountain scenery with warm interiors. Built in May 2002, it offers 172.5 m² of living space and a 4LDK layout, with four rooms for sleeping, guests or hobbies alongside the living, dining and kitchen areas.
A separate 90 m² foundation-level area adds extra space. Inside, honey-toned timber, exposed beams and a soaring ceiling give the lounge an inviting feel. High windows bring in daylight, while the kitchen's open counter keeps you connected to the living area.
Outside, the wooden terrace overlooks green slopes, wooded hills and a striking mountain skyline. The landscape feels unspoiled, with layers of greenery stretching beneath the open sky. 🌿 Picture breakfast outdoors, clouds drifting over the peaks and evenings surrounded by nature. Set on 1,035 m² of grounds with mature trees, the home also offers parking for multiple cars and estate management.
