Farmhouse with Agricultural Land in the Highland Vegetable Region of Nagano
This unique property, located in the Chojahara area of Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, offers a rare opportunity to own a home with substantial agricultural land in a region famed for its highland vegetables like cabbage, lettuce, and hakusai (Chinese cabbage). The approximately 713 tsubo (2,358.46㎡) plot provides open, panoramic views of Mount Asama and offers good distance from neighboring houses, creating a sense of spaciousness and privacy.
The wooden structure, with a zinc-galvanized steel and tile roof, is of unknown age but underwent a significant extension in 1989 (Heisei 1) and a comprehensive renovation in 2009 (Heisei 21). The previous owner used it as a second home, leaving the interior in excellent condition. Notably, the unit bath and kitchen installed during the 2009 renovation remain in near-original state, allowing for immediate habitation without the need for repairs. The property is equipped with electricity, public water supply, and a simple flush (pit) toilet system. Practical outbuildings (koya) on the north and east sides provide valuable storage space for farming tools and equipment.
Important legal notes include compliance with the Agricultural Land Law and the Saku City Landscape Ordinance. The property is located outside of an urban planning area. One section of the extension is unregistered. The site enjoys frontage on a paved public road approximately 5.3 meters wide on its east side and sits at an elevation of 970 meters.
The surrounding area is deeply connected to agriculture and offers a tranquil lifestyle. A notable local attraction is the Fuse Onsen, an open-air hot spring with magnificent views, located just about a 10-minute drive away, perfect for relaxing after a day tending to your fields. The property is approximately 17.8 km from the Hokuriku Shinkansen's Saku-P Station and 14.1 km from the Chuo Jukan Expressway's Saku-Minami IC.
