Historic 1869 Farmhouse with Vast Land in Fujikawa, Yamanashi
This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Japanese history combined with substantial land. The main house, built in 1869, is a charming wooden two-story structure with a total floor area of 158.07 sqm (approx. 47.81 tsubo). The layout is an expansive 8DK, featuring six 6-tatami Japanese-style rooms, one 8-tatami Japanese-style room, one 6-tatami Western-style room, and a 9-tatami dining-kitchen area. The home includes delightful traditional features such as an irori (sunken hearth) for family gatherings and a sunny engawa (veranda) perfect for relaxing with a cup of tea. The property has been partially renovated, with the bathroom, kitchen, washbasin, toilet, and some interior refurbishments completed approximately 20 years ago, leaving the interior in a clean and pleasant state.
Key equipment includes a system kitchen, propane gas, running water, a septic tank, a toilet with a warm-water bidet seat, and a bathroom with a window that is over 1 tsubo in size. Special notes highlight the quiet residential neighborhood, the absence of buildings directly in front, and adjacent buildings being over 2 meters away. Important remarks specify that the sale includes the main house, farmland, and mountain forest. The storehouse on the west side of the main house (along the road) is scheduled for demolition.
The property sits on a vast plot of 1,892.06 sqm (approx. 572.34 tsubo) of land classified as residential, located outside the city planning area with no specific use district. It includes a free parking space for three or more cars. The location in Fujikawa Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, offers a serene lifestyle amidst nature. The area is part of the Minami-Koma District, known for its stunning views of the Southern Japanese Alps and its proximity to the Fuji River. A notable nearby landmark is the majestic Mount Fuji, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which dominates the skyline and offers endless opportunities for hiking, photography, and cultural appreciation, all within a scenic drive from this historic home.
