Unique Octagonal Log House in Kinokawa, Wakayama
This property is a rare log house constructed with octagonal logs, located in a small settlement in Nakatomobuchi, Kinokawa City, Wakayama Prefecture. While typical machine-cut log houses use round, square, or D-shaped logs, this home features uncommon octagonal timber, giving it a sharper impression than a standard round log structure.
The interior comprises a first floor with an 11.6-tatami mat LDK, a mini kitchen, a shower room, and a dedicated toilet. The second floor has a 6.3-tatami mat loft, which can accommodate 3 to 4 people sleeping on futons. An L-shaped wooden deck in front of the entrance is suitable for barbecues and outdoor enjoyment.
Equipment and facilities include a water heater, shower, dedicated toilet, loft, propane gas, a well, a septic tank, and a wooden deck. The property sits on sloping land with a total land area of 191.73 m² and a building area of 34.92 m². The building is a two-storey wooden structure, built in an unspecified month of 1996 (Heisei 8). The property is currently vacant.
A river flows along the settlement, offering opportunities for river play with children. The area is rich in nature, making it an ideal recommendation for a vacation home where one can relax in a natural environment. Access is approximately 19 km (about 29 minutes by car) from the Kinokawa IC on the Keinawa Expressway.
