A Secluded Plot with a Rustic Cabin Amidst the Sounds of Nature in Saitama
Nestled in the quiet mountains of Saitama Prefecture, this unique property offers a rare opportunity for a secluded retreat or a creative base. The 242 sqm (approximately 73.2 tsubo) plot of land is situated at the very end of a developed hillside area, past a ridge, providing a hidden-away feeling. It is located directly across from the famous Maruyama Kosen hot spring, known for its medicinal herb baths. The land is backed by mountains to the east and south, with a natural forest sloping down to the north, creating a sheltered and private environment where the gentle sounds of a nearby stream can be heard.
The property includes a small, unregistered two-story wooden cabin with a slate roof. The building has a total floor area of 18.17 sqm (approximately 5.48 tsubo), with 9.91 sqm on the first floor and 8.26 sqm on the second. Critical agent notes specify that this cabin is unregistered and lacks any water facilities (kitchen, bathroom, etc.). While some wear is visible, it presents an excellent canvas for DIY enthusiasts, potentially serving as a workshop, storage garage, or a tiny house project. The land is classified as forest and is flat, with road access via an approximately 5-meter wide unpaved private road to the north. Utilities include electricity and public water, though a joint purification tank is required. The property is outside the urban planning area and is subject to local building regulations and the Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park (ordinary area) ordinances.
