Historic Renovated Kominka in Toei Town with Panoramic Mountain Views
This property is a meticulously renovated kominka (traditional folk house) located in the mountainous area of Toei Town, Kitashitara District, Aichi Prefecture. The main building, constructed before 1868, has been carefully updated to allow for immediate occupancy without the need for major repairs. A significant renovation and extension were carried out 43 years ago, ensuring the structure is sound while preserving the home's historic character. The house retains its original 7-sun (approximately 21cm) square daikokubashira (main pillar) and beams, which are defining features of traditional Japanese architecture and a major draw for those seeking an authentic kominka atmosphere.
The property sits on a substantial total land area of 4,694 square meters, which includes 535.89 square meters of residential land, 3,386.91 square meters of fields and rice paddies, and 772 square meters of forest and other terrain. The total floor area of the single-story, cement-tiled roof structure is 191.87 square meters. The interior layout is a 7K design, featuring a kitchen, four tatami rooms (one 4.5-tatami, three 6-tatami), one 8-tatami room, one 10-tatami room, and one western-style room. Utility connections include electricity, water and sewerage, and propane gas.
Located about 4 kilometers west of central Toei Town, the property is situated at an elevation of 427 meters, offering excellent panoramic views from the main house. The surrounding area has minimal light pollution, allowing for spectacular views of the starry night sky. Essential facilities such as government offices, medical institutions, financial services, a drugstore, and a hot spring facility are all within a 20-minute drive. The property is registered with the Toei Town Akiya Bank program and is classified as being outside a city planning area.
