Blue-Tiled Roof House with Train Views Near the Tenryu River
This distinctive property in Nagano Prefecture's Ina City features a charming blue-tiled roof and offers a unique vantage point overlooking the local JR Iida Line railway. The house is situated in a sunny location facing rice paddies, approximately 5km from central Ina City and close to the Tenryu River. The area of Nishi-Haruchika is nationally famous as the headquarters of the 'Kantenpapa' agar food company, benefiting from an inland climate with significant day-night temperature variation and low humidity, which produces clear, delicious air popular with both agar cultivation and urban migrants.
The building is a wooden two-story house built over 68 years ago, with a traditional white-walled storehouse (kura) at the rear adding to its character. The layout is exceptionally spacious at 8DK, offering excellent usability. Key equipment and features include electricity, public water supply, public sewer, and parking. Important notes: The storehouse is unregistered. The Japanese-style toilet on the north side is a pit latrine. The property is subject to Ina City's Landscape Plan and is within a sediment disaster warning zone. The Land Law also applies.
The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty and outdoor activity. A short drive away lies the majestic Central Alps (Kiso Mountains), a major mountain range offering spectacular hiking, skiing, and panoramic views, forming a dramatic backdrop to life in the Ina Valley.
