Rural Retreat with Traditional Outbuildings in Uda, Nara
The agent's notes provide critical details. The property's equipment and facilities include electricity, public water supply, a septic tank (requiring periodic pumping), propane gas, and a private garden. Special remarks indicate that repairs are necessary for occupancy. The property includes several valuable outbuildings: a main house, a separate cottage, a storehouse (kura), and a warehouse.
