A Distinctive Guest House with Ocean Views on Iriomote Island

This unique property in the Taketomi district of Okinawa is a wooden, three-story residence that also functions as a guest house, offering a rare opportunity to own a business with a home. The building boasts a total floor area of 134.42m², with a first floor of 70.66m², a second floor of 63.76m², and an unregistered attic space of approximately 70m². It sits on a generous 832.85m² plot of land, providing ample outdoor space for guests to enjoy the natural surroundings, including potential glamping experiences.

According to the detailed agent notes, the property includes several special features. It has an annex building regulated by the Landscape Act, which contains a basement of 37.93m² and a garage of 30.94m². The home is equipped with a solar power generation system dedicated to selling electricity back to the grid, is fully electrified, and includes a battery storage system for purchased electricity. The attic is designed as a special space for hobbies, such as a theater room or for playing musical instruments. The basement, far too valuable to be used merely for storage, is described as a secret base-like hideaway perfect for immersive music listening or as a gathering spot for guests.

The guest house is intimate, with only three guest rooms, ensuring a personalized experience. The location in the Kumi area of Iriomote Island offers stunning ocean views and a deep connection to nature. The property is just a 2-minute walk from the Kumi bus stop.

The surrounding area of Iriomote Island is part of the Yaeyama Islands, renowned for its pristine jungles, mangrove forests, and the Iriomote cat, a critically endangered wildcat found nowhere else on Earth. The island is a paradise for eco-tourism, with kayaking, trekking, and boat tours to see the famous Mariudo Waterfalls being major attractions. The property provides a perfect base to immerse oneself in this unique subtropical environment.
