Seaside Retreat on Kutsuna Islands
This spacious property on the remote Nokutsuna Island offers a unique blend of tranquility and luxury. Built roughly 40 years ago, the house remains in excellent condition, with only minor signs of wear. Situated on the edge of a small village, the home provides privacy amid nature’s soundtrack—birdsong, waves, and rustling leaves. A short walk leads to a serene beach, perfect for fishing or coastal adventures.
- The Kutsuna Islands are part of Ehime Prefecture, known for their scenic beauty and slow-paced island life.
- The nearest major landmark is Matsuyama Castle, a historic fortress accessible by ferry and car.
The property features a traditional Japanese garden with camellias and maples, while the interior balances minimalism and opulence. Downstairs includes a sunken hearth room and tatami spaces, while upstairs boasts expansive Western-style rooms. A rooftop balcony with a sink allows for outdoor gatherings. The house comes partially furnished, including a vintage TV and lavish bed. Repairs are needed for a leak near the first-floor ceiling, likely due to balcony waterproofing. The island has limited amenities, with a clinic and port within walking distance. Groceries require trips to Matsuyama, and ferry schedules are currently reduced.
