Discover a Spacious Retreat in the Serene Highlands of Iwate
Nestled within the mountainous border area of Rikuzentakata City, in the C刺伊手 settlement of Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture, this unique property offers a rare opportunity for expansive country living. The surrounding region is part of the legendary Sakiyama Highlands, known for its pastoral development and as the setting for author Kenji Miyazawa's novel "Sakiyama-ga-hara." The house itself is situated in a refreshing highland environment, less than 1 km from the Kosuji Ski Area.
The land is a vast 5,918.29 sqm (1,790.28 tsubo) of mostly flat to gently sloping terrain, categorized as residential and wilderness land. It is bordered by a beautiful, babbling stream, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The property is equipped with electricity and public water supply, utilizes a septic tank system, and has parking available. It is located outside of urban planning zones. The location offers a high degree of privacy, shielding it from outside views and preserving your personal sanctuary.
The area is steeped in natural and literary history. A short 5.6 km drive leads to Michi-no-Eki Sakiyamagahara, a roadside station perfect for local produce and information. For a significant day trip, the historic Hiraizumi area, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its pure land Buddhist temples and gardens from the 11th and 12th centuries, is approximately a 90-minute drive away, offering a profound glimpse into Japan's cultural past.
