A Traditional-Style House Offering Views of the Southern Alps
This property is a spacious, traditional-style residence with a loft, featuring a 3LDK+S layout. It is located in a quiet residential area approximately 1.2km (a 15-minute walk) from JR Chuo Main Line's Hino-haru Station. The building is situated near the entrance of a large plot of land exceeding 200 tsubo (approx. 618 sqm), set back about 50 meters from the main road. The southwest-facing orientation provides an open feel, and the expansive land is a major attraction, offering ample space for creating a garden, a vegetable patch, or a Western-style landscape to suit your hobbies. Although mature surrounding trees partially obscure the view, glimpses of the Southern Alps mountain range can be seen through the foliage.
The building is a two-story structure with a distinctive white exterior that evokes the charm of a traditional Japanese house (kominka). The first floor consists of an 8-tatami Western-style room, a living-dining area featuring an impressive wood-burning stove, and bathroom/toilet facilities, all designed with a sense of spaciousness. The second floor comprises a large 16-tatami Western room with an attic (grenier), an 8-tatami Japanese-style room with a walk-in closet, and an additional 8-tatami Western room. The ceilings are high with exposed thick beams, enhancing the traditional ambiance and providing versatile, open space for free use.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment and utilities are as follows: Electricity is supplied by Tokyo Electric Power, gas is via individual propane tanks, water is from the public water supply, and sewage is handled by a septic tank system.
The area is part of Hokuto City in Yamanashi Prefecture, a region renowned for its stunning natural scenery and outdoor recreation. An interesting local fact is that the area is famous for its crystal-clear night skies, making it a popular spot for stargazing. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Yatsugatake, a volcanic mountain range popular for hiking, skiing, and enjoying hot springs, located just a short drive from the property.
