Small House with Studio in Matsuzaki, Shizuoka

This property is a small house located in Matsuzaki-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture. The land area is 532 square meters, and the building size is 38 square meters. The structure is wooden, and it is currently in a livable condition. The property was originally used by the owner's father, a Japanese-style painter, as a combined residence and atelier. The land was cleared a few years ago before this small house was built.

The surrounding natural environment is described as abundant, with mountains, sea, and a river nearby. From spring to summer, the area is noted to be excellent for various activities. The property's land includes approximately half of the hill behind the house and a small stream that flows along the side. This stream serves as a water source, and the owner requests that it be treated with care. The property is considered suitable for use as a campsite or a satellite office.

An old bamboo grove on the adjacent hillside, which is not part of the property, has died and is falling over. The owner has been gradually clearing it, but notes that the work needs to be done slowly. The owner has obtained permission from the elderly owner of that hill to perform pruning and thinning work, as the owner is unable to do it directly.
