Welcome to Chikuhoku Village in Shinshu, where this unique property offers a rare blend of history, space, and rural potential. This charming used residence, built in 1963, comes with the extraordinary feature of a Taisho-era storehouse (kura), adding significant historical character and storage possibilities. The property is listed for sale at 3.2 million yen and includes a generous 4LDK layout within its 106.11 sqm floor area, set on an expansive 4,242.91 sqm plot of land.

The property's facilities include propane gas, a public water supply, a septic tank system, and electricity. Critical details from the agent's notes provide essential insights: the total land area is broken down into residential land (409.91 sqm), forested mountain land (1,016 sqm), and miscellaneous land (3,176 sqm). Importantly, the property is located outside of any hazard (disaster) areas. The concrete block wall along the front road-facing side is scheduled for demolition and removal. Furthermore, if desired, an additional farmland plot (approximately 359 sqm, a 2-minute walk from the house) can be included in the transfer registration as a set.

Located in Nishijo, Chikuhoku Village, Higashichikuma District, Nagano Prefecture, the home offers parking and is conveniently situated about 1km (a 15-minute walk or 2-minute drive) from the Shimonoi Line's Nishijo Station. The area is part of the scenic Shinshu region, known for its tranquil villages and beautiful mountain vistas. An interesting local fact is that Chikuhoku Village is part of the "Azumino" region, famed for its wasabi fields and clear spring water. The closest major landmark is the historic Matsumoto Castle, one of Japan's premier original castles, located approximately a 30-minute drive away, offering a direct connection to the region's samurai heritage.
