Historic Thatched-Roof Farmhouse in Hokuto, Yamanashi
This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Japanese architectural heritage. Listed for sale at 11,500,000 JPY, this is a traditional kominka (old folk house) dating from the late Edo period, featuring the increasingly scarce and valuable thatched (kayabuki) roof. The building itself shows signs of age, including warping and wear, indicating that significant and large-scale repairs will be necessary for modern habitation. This project is ideal for those seeking a restoration challenge or a connection to Japan's rural past.
The property's equipment includes public water supply, public gas, propane, sewer drainage, a dedicated bath, a dedicated toilet, a dedicated kitchen with gas, a garden, and a bicycle parking area. The current status is vacant, and the handover conditions are open for discussion. The land includes a substantial 2,420.81 sqm plot, with a portion designated as farmland. Please note that the sale or lease of farmland in Japan generally requires meeting specific criteria and obtaining permission from the local Agricultural Committee.
