Affordable Cottage in a Lush Resort Area of Gifu
This affordable cottage is located in the lush resort area of "Suihouen" in Shokawa-cho, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. The property is situated on a downward sloping lot, but the area in front of the house is flat, providing space to park 2-3 cars. The interior features a simple layout with two 6-tatami Japanese-style rooms and an 8.5-tatami dining kitchen. The entrance area and wooden deck require repair, making this property an ideal candidate for a renovation project. It is recommended as a vacation home for enjoying golf in spring and autumn, as a summer retreat, or as a base for winter sports.
The property's equipment and facilities include: a gas stove, a two-burner stove, hot water supply, an independent washbasin, a dedicated bath, a shower, a dedicated toilet, separate bath and toilet, a heated toilet seat, kerosene heating, a loft, propane gas, other water supply, a drainage purification tank, and parking availability.

There is a common area fee of 27,500 yen per year (tax included) for the first five years after purchase, and an annual water charge of 22,000 yen (tax included). Building-to-land ratio and floor area ratio regulations apply, with voluntary restrictions for buildings up to two stories: a 2-meter setback from the road and a 1.5-meter setback from neighboring boundaries. The entrance door, surrounding area, and wooden deck require repair.
The surrounding area of Takayama's Shokawa region is renowned for its stunning highland scenery and outdoor activities.
