A Modern Sanctuary in the Serene Hills of Ujitawara
Nestled within the designated "Ryokuenzaka" area, a First Category Low-Rise Residential Zone, this property offers a living environment defined by abundant greenery, tranquility, and calm. It is an ideal location for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, feel the breath of nature, and realize a peaceful, high-quality lifestyle.
This residence, built in February 2021, is a nearly new property with an interior in exceptionally clean condition. The spacious living, dining, and kitchen area features a ceiling height of over 2.5 meters and spans more than 20 tatami mats. At its heart is a prominent island kitchen, designed to beautifully enhance gatherings with family and friends. The open-plan island kitchen allows for enjoyable communication with family and guests while cooking. It is equipped with an IH cooktop, which offers high safety as it doesn't use an open flame and is easy to maintain.
The property boasts a wide array of equipment and features. The main equipment includes a system kitchen, counter kitchen, IH cooktop, bath with reheating function, bathroom dryer, washbasin with shower, bidet toilet seat, walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, TV monitor door phone, and underfloor heating. Key features are all-electric power, barrier-free design, south-facing orientation, and included parking. Additional equipment details include public water and sewer, IH cooktop (three-burner), reheating function, washbasin with shower, air conditioning, walk-in closet, balcony, designer elements, shoe closet, included lighting fixtures, auto bath, pantry, water purifier/activator, tankless toilet, double-glazed windows/sashes, and ceiling height over 2.5 meters. A special note highlights that across the street, a separate plot of land (62.95 tsubo) and a building (29.30 tsubo, built in May 2024) are also part of the transaction.
The bathroom presents a spacious area where high-quality materials shine. The design, unified in calm tones, is reminiscent of a luxury hotel suite. The vanity area offers a clean, powder-room-like feel with a wide counter and large mirror, bringing ease to busy mornings. A tankless toilet, easy to clean and making the space appear larger, is installed for functionality and design. A separate building on the property houses a flowing warm-water pool. Furthermore, a partitioned space is perfectly suited as a "meditation room" for practicing yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.
The area of Ujitawara in Kyoto Prefecture is renowned for its rolling tea fields and is considered the birthplace of Uji tea, a prized variety of Japanese green tea. For a significant cultural excursion, the historic Byodo-in Temple in the nearby city of Uji, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its Phoenix Hall, is approximately a 30-minute drive away, offering a profound connection to Japan's Heian-period heritage.
