Former Woodworking Workshop with Land in Hida Takayama
This property offers a former furniture workshop and the land it sits on, located in the scenic Hida region of Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. The sellers, who have retired from the business, are seeking a new owner to utilize the space. The buildings are approximately 30 years old and show signs of age, but they are constructed solidly to withstand heavy snowfall. All machinery and equipment have been removed, leaving only the structures and land. The property may be suitable for craftspeople in woodworking or other artistic fields.
The site is situated at an elevation of 900 meters, surrounded by a natural environment with birch trees. A small stream runs behind the property, offering opportunities for fishing from March to September. The surrounding area features small-scale villa developments. The property is located approximately 500 meters along a forest road from the main prefectural road, Hida Seseragi Kaido, which is a popular route for tourists and motorcyclists, especially known for its beautiful autumn foliage.
The location is about a 50-minute drive from the Gujo Hachiman Interchange on the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway, and roughly 25 kilometers (about 30 minutes) from JR Takayama Station. The nearest community center is 1.5 kilometers away. While the area experiences heavy snow in winter, requiring appropriate heating and snow removal, the local road clearing system is reliable. School bus services are available for children. Potential buyers should be aware of the presence of insects and wild animals such as wild boar.
The land area is 445 tsubo (approximately 1,470 square meters), with about 300 tsubo of usable flat land. There are three structures: a single-story wooden workshop with an iron sheet roof (28 tsubo), a single-story wooden gallery and workspace with an iron sheet roof (18 tsubo), and a prefabricated workshop (5 tsubo). The buildings are approximately 32 years old. The roof of the main workshop has rusted iron sheets, but there are no leaks. The gallery space could potentially be converted for residential use. The prefabricated structure, used for painting, has a solid frame but damaged roof and walls. The property is sold as-is. Utilities available along the forest road include electricity (200V three-phase and 100V 20A), water (no indoor piping), CATV optical fiber, and communication lines. There is no toilet or bath on site (a public toilet is nearby), and propane gas is available. The asking price is 8,000,000 yen.
