Makkari Forest House with Large Land: 4.5ha

This genuinely unique property, seldom available on the open market, presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial 4.5-hectare (45,151㎡ / 13,658 tsubo) forested estate in Hokkaido. The main house is a sizable 170.58㎡ two-story wooden structure with a galvanized steel roof, built in September 1993. It is in fantastic condition and features four full bedrooms, with a storage room that could easily be converted into a fifth bedroom. The property also includes several outhouses such as garages and storage sheds.

The expansive grounds are a defining feature. The current owner has meticulously planned and sculpted mountain bike paths throughout the mature woodland, which could also serve as walking and snowshoeing trails. With imagination, these paths could lead to secluded areas for meditation, reflection, or alfresco dining. A large garden area comes to life each spring with an abundance of blueberry bushes and other plants. The property is constantly accompanied by the majestic sound of the free-flowing Makkari River. Utilities include electricity from Hokkaido Electric Power Co., water from a main pipe and service pipe, but note there is no main sewage pipe connection.

While the house needs no immediate attention, a modest and relatively cheap renovation could significantly enhance the property, transforming it into either a trophy home or a significant rental income generator. Given its rarity, this property is anticipated to generate tremendous interest and sell quickly.
