Spacious Traditional Home with Farmland on the Banks of the Kumazakawa River
This property presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial traditional house set on a large plot of land exceeding 1,222 square meters in the quiet residential area of Awara City, Fukui Prefecture. The home, built in April 1976, offers a generous total floor area of 208.75 square meters across two stories. Its location is a key feature, situated on a corner plot along the banks of the Kumazakawa River, providing a serene and picturesque setting.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with essential utilities including water supply, sewerage, and propane gas.

The land includes cultivated fields and a farm shed, making it ideal for those interested in gardening or small-scale agriculture. The home features a south-facing orientation, a system kitchen, two toilets, a reheating function for the bath, and a monitor-equipped intercom.

The area of Awara City is renowned for its relaxing hot springs, most notably the Awara Onsen resort area. A short 7-minute drive will bring you to JR Awaraonsen Station, served by the Hokuriku Shinkansen, providing excellent access to major cities. An interesting local fact is that Awara Onsen is one of Fukui's premier hot spring towns, with a history dating back over 130 years, where the waters are said to be beneficial for neuralgia and muscle pain. The closest major tourist attraction is the scenic Echizen-Kaga Kaigan Quasi-National Park, which features beautiful coastal landscapes, cliffs, and beaches along the Sea of Japan.
