Spacious Traditional Home with Unique Features in the Nature-Rich City of Ono

This substantial property, located at 30-10 Ushigahara in Ono City, Fukui Prefecture, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Japanese countryside. The 252.81㎡ wooden house, built in 1977, features a generous 8LDK layout, providing ample space for a large family or creative use. The residence sits on a vast 1,346㎡ plot of land, which includes not only the main house but also a traditional storehouse (土蔵), farmland, forested hillside, and even a cave.

Key equipment and features have been thoughtfully updated. The property benefits from a groundwater supply for its water system and a combined septic tank for wastewater. The kitchen, bathroom, and toilet have all been renovated, and the roof tiles have been replaced. The home is equipped with an Eco Cute system for all-electric hot water and heating. A covered parking space is available. Special notes from the agent reveal unique practical advantages: the entire property is fitted with a snow-melting system, and a large irrigation channel in front of the land makes snow removal easier. The hillside behind the property yields bamboo shoots, and the cave there serves as a natural storage cellar for vegetables and pickles. A homemade drum-can wood stove in the warehouse allows for roasting sweet potatoes. The current owner is also willing to include snow removal equipment and agricultural tools. The handover date is negotiable.

Ono City, nestled inland in Fukui Prefecture, is a town surrounded by beautiful mountains and renowned for its abundant, pure water, exemplified by the nationally recognized 'Oshozu' spring. An interesting local fact is that the city's historic 'Shichiken Morning Market' has been operating for over 400 years. The area is steeped in history and natural beauty, with the closest major landmark being the picturesque Echizen Ono Castle, perched on a hill overlooking the traditional townscape.
