Spacious Family Estate with Traditional Charm in Niigata
This expansive property in Gosen City, Niigata Prefecture, offers a rare combination of generous living space, traditional Japanese elements, and modern amenities. Built in January 1998 by Misawa Home, the house features a unique 10LLDDKK+2S (storage rooms) layout, providing immense flexibility for family living, entertaining, or even as a satellite office or workcation destination. The property sits on a substantial 1,884.07 sqm plot, with a total building area of 563.85 sqm.
The home is distinguished by its well-appointed hospitality spaces, including a dedicated tea ceremony room, a party room, and a separate guest house (hanare) complete with a traditional sunken hearth (irori). Storage is abundant throughout, with features like five walk-in closets and two additional storage rooms. The bright first-floor bathroom boasts windows on two sides. For vehicle accommodation, the property can park up to eight cars, facilitated by a two-car garage with shutters, a carport, and five additional car spaces. A solar power generation system is installed, and the living/dining area on the first floor features underfloor heating.
The construction utilizes Misawa Home's panel method, where high-quality wooden panels are precision-manufactured in a factory for consistent performance. The house employs a "monocoque structure" designed to instantly distribute and withstand various loads from snow, earthquakes, and wind.
Located in the Kigoshi area of Gosen City, the property is a 19-minute walk from JR Banshu-Akō Line's Gosen Station. The area is part of Niigata, a region famed for its high-quality rice, sake, and beautiful natural scenery. An interesting local fact is that Niigata is often called "Snow Country" due to its heavy winter snowfall, which creates stunning landscapes and supports winter sports. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mount Yahiko, a sacred mountain and popular hiking destination with a historic shrine at its base, located approximately a 30-minute drive away.
