Compact Log Cabin in the Tranquil Hills of Aoki Village
This property is a small, unregistered wooden log cabin located in the serene, mountainous setting of Aoki Village, Nagano Prefecture. The building itself is compact at 7.94 square meters, featuring a simple 1R layout with a south-facing orientation for good natural light. The structure is a single-story, detached unit.
Essential utilities require attention: while a public water supply line is brought onto the land, it is not currently connected to the building. Public gas is available. The property sits on a spacious plot with no surrounding buildings, ensuring a very quiet and private environment. It offers excellent views of the surrounding landscape. A notable feature within the grounds is a water source, specifically a spring.
The current listing suggests the potential for building a new, larger log house while residing in the existing mini log cabin on the property. Access to the area is via public transport; it is approximately a 45-minute bus ride from Ueda Station to the Aoki Bus Terminal, followed by a local village bus and a 900-meter walk.
Aoki Village itself is recognized as a peaceful agricultural mountain village, surrounded by beautiful mountains. It was ranked number one in a survey for the most desirable village to live in Japan. The village is noted for its integrated education system from kindergarten through junior high and its relative convenience, being about two and a half hours from Tokyo by bus and shinkansen.
