This property is a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) located in Kurara, Gose City, Nara Prefecture. The house was built in January 1981, making it approximately 45 years old, and features a wooden structure. It offers a spacious layout of 9DK, with a total building area of 273.99 square meters. The property sits on a generous 600-square-meter plot of land, which includes a garden and parking space for two vehicles.
According to the agent's special notes, registration with the Gose City Akiya & Machiya Bank is required to inquire about or proceed with this property. The current status is vacant, and the handover conditions are negotiable. The house is equipped with public water supply, public gas, and propane. The bathroom and toilet are for exclusive use, with the toilet being a non-flush, traditional Japanese-style pit toilet. The property includes a garden and available parking.
The location provides a peaceful, rural lifestyle with farmland immediately adjacent to the house. Access is convenient via the Kintetsu Gose Line, with Kintetsu Gose Station approximately 2,000 meters away (a 25-30 minute walk), and the Minami-Hanna Road's Katsuragi IC is about a 10-minute drive (4,600 meters). Local amenities such as a convenience store are 650 meters away, with a supermarket and bank within 2,000 meters.
Gose City is situated in the northwestern part of Nara Prefecture, at the southwestern edge of the Yamato Plain. It is a lush, green area stretching from the southeastern foothills of the Kongo and Katsuragi mountain ranges to flat plains. The city is well-connected by National Route 24 and the Keinawa Expressway (Gose IC, Gose Minami IC) running north-south, and National Route 309 running east-west, linking to neighboring cities and Osaka. Both by car and train, central Osaka is accessible in about an hour, offering a suburban location near a major metropolis. An interesting local fact is that the area is steeped in mythology, being part of the ancient Yamato region, considered the birthplace of Japanese civilization. The closest major landmark is the sacred Mount Kongo, part of the Kongo-Ikoma-Kisen Quasi-National Park, offering hiking and stunning natural scenery.
