Spacious Wooden Home in Tranquil Hida City with Mountain Views and Ski Resort Access
The home is well-equipped with modern conveniences. Facilities include an IH cooking heater, shower, separate bath and toilet rooms, a toilet, a bath, electricity, and public water supply with a septic tank. The living spaces are notably spacious, featuring a combined LDK area of over 15 tatami mats, a Japanese-style room (washitsu) of over 8 tatami mats, and all living rooms exceeding 8 tatami mats. Additional amenities include an engawa (veranda), ample storage space, an independent washroom, a garden, a private garden, and an indoor space for a washing machine.
A special note reveals a significant additional asset: besides the main plot, the property includes an extra 4,500.38 square meters (16 separate land parcels) of mountain forest and wilderness. The location balances tranquility with convenience. While the home is nestled quietly in the woods with no neighboring houses, daily necessities are easily accessible: a supermarket is a 6-minute drive away, and a convenience store is just 1 minute by car. Other nearby facilities include a drugstore and coin laundry (1,100m away) and a library (2,200m away). A key highlight for outdoor enthusiasts is the proximity to the Nagareha Ski Resort, located approximately 9,000 meters away, or about a 15-minute drive.
The surrounding Hida region is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and traditional craftsmanship. An interesting fact about the area is that Hida City, particularly the former town of Takayama within it, is famous for its highly skilled carpenters, known as Hida no takumi, who have been involved in the construction and restoration of historic temples and castles across Japan for centuries. The closest major landmark is the historic streets of Takayama's Old Town (Sanmachi Suji), known for its beautifully preserved Edo-period merchant houses, which is approximately a 30-minute drive from the property and offers a deep dive into Japan's cultural heritage.
