Spacious Traditional Home in Katsura, Wakayama with Mountain Views

This property, known as "Katsura 45," is a substantial 5LDK wooden house built in January 1981, offering 118.58 square meters of living space on a generous 290.21 square meter plot in the Ootani area of Katsura, Wakayama Prefecture. The home features a traditional Japanese layout with six tatami rooms, a kitchen, a bath, and two toilets. It includes a dedicated parking space, a private garden, and amenities such as indoor air conditioning and a dedicated laundry area. The property is connected to public water and propane gas, with a septic tank drainage system. The agent's special notes provide critical information: there are disclosure items, some repairs are necessary (to be borne by the user), and there is an intention for a property inspection. Importantly, registration with the Katsura Town Akiya Bank is required for consideration.

The location offers a peaceful lifestyle with views of mountains to the north and south, and daily conveniences like supermarkets are within walking distance. It is approximately a 550-meter walk from JR Wakayama Line's Ootani Station and a 5-minute drive from the Keinawa Expressway's Kihoku Katsura IC interchange, improving access to nearby cities. The area is part of the historic Kii Mountain Range foothills. An interesting local fact is that Katsura Town is part of the "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range" UNESCO World Heritage area, featuring ancient pilgrimage paths like the Choishimichi. The closest major landmark is the revered Nachi Falls, one of Japan's most famous and scenic waterfalls, located within the Kumano Sanzan area of the World Heritage site.
