A Traditional Japanese Kominka with Attached Storehouse and Field in Uda, Nara
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The house, constructed in 1948 (Showa 23), requires repairs at the user's expense. The sale includes several ancillary structures: a traditional storehouse (kura), a detached guest house (hanare), and a garage. Additionally, the property comes with an attached agricultural field. It is important to note that the water heater and similar equipment require operational verification, and any replacement costs will be the user's responsibility. The seller wishes to sell the property with the field included. Furthermore, to receive guidance on this property, registration with the "Uda City Akiya Bank" is required.
The property sits on a substantial plot of land measuring approximately 366.94 square meters, featuring a garden and available parking. Utilities include public water, propane gas, and a septic tank drainage system. The house is equipped with a dedicated kitchen, bathroom, and toilet. The location offers a peaceful, rural lifestyle while remaining accessible, approximately a 13-minute drive from the Kaname Interchange on the Meihan Expressway.
The surrounding area of Uda City is part of the Yamato Plateau, known for its beautiful highland scenery and rich history. An interesting local fact is that the area is home to the historic Murō-ji temple, a significant Buddhist site often called "Mount Kōya for women" as it was one of the few temples that allowed female worshippers during certain historical periods. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Akame 48 Waterfalls, a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument, famous for its hiking trails and population of giant salamanders.
