Compact Home with Vegetable Garden and Views of Mount Buko in Chichibu
This charming, compact residential property is located in the Bessho district of Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. Positioned southeast of Chichibu Muse Park, the area sits on the left bank of the Arakawa River, across from the main city center, connected by several bridges. The house is situated at the very end of a narrow lane, just before the waterworks facility, offering a sense of seclusion while providing a direct, unobstructed view of the iconic Mount Buko.
The existing wooden structure, currently under a rental contract, is well-maintained and ready for immediate use despite its age. The property features a family vegetable garden within the grounds, a carport, and a green wall of climbing plants in front of the building. According to the agent's notes, the building is unregistered but includes a steel storage shed. A key point is that the property is currently tenanted, so the handover date is subject to consultation. The extended land portion, which serves as an access path, is approximately 92 square meters with a width of about 3 meters. This path is slightly narrow for standard passenger cars, making the location ideal for residents who primarily use motorcycles or bicycles.
The property is equipped with electricity, public water supply, and public sewerage (agricultural community drainage). It is situated on level land classified as residential and miscellaneous, with a total land area of 422.56 sqm. The single-story wooden house has a total floor area of 33.12 sqm. The property fronts a paved public road approximately 5.6 meters wide to the north and falls within an unzoned district of the urban planning area, with a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
The surrounding area of Chichibu is renowned for its stunning natural scenery and rich cultural heritage, nestled within the Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park. An interesting local fact is that Chichibu is famous for its night festival held in December, designated as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Buko, which dominates the skyline and is a popular destination for hiking and sightseeing.
