Natural and Artistic Surroundings Frame This Treehouse-Style Compact Property

This charming compact house, located in Kuju Town, Kusu District, Oita Prefecture, offers a unique 'treehouse' feel with its elevated foundation, entrance staircase, and terrace. The property is a DIY enthusiast's dream, sold complete with a set of tools, allowing the new owner to immediately begin personalizing their space. The current owner has lovingly maintained the home through DIY projects, and essential repairs, such as reinforcing corroded pillars, have already been completed. The property is in excellent condition, clean and ready to move into, yet retains a pleasant vintage character that invites creative self-renovation.

The interior features a lodge-style high ceiling in the living area adorned with a cute chandelier. The layout includes a 2LDK configuration with a Japanese-style room and an essential cottage feature: a loft. The triangular roof adds to the overall charm. The home is sold fully furnished, making it an attractive turnkey option. Its secluded location provides ample privacy, perfect for those seeking a personal retreat.

The surrounding area of Kuju Town is rich in natural beauty and culture. It is home to 13 different hot springs, pastures, and the 'Shindo no Taki' waterfall, selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls. Furthermore, the town boasts the 'Kyushu Geijutsu no Mori' (Kyushu Art Forest), a facility comprising six art museums. After a day of DIY, you can refresh at a nearby onsen, visit a stylish cafe, explore an art museum, or enjoy equestrian facilities. The closest major landmark is the stunning Kuju Mountain Range, part of the Aso-Kuju National Park, offering breathtaking hiking and panoramic views.
