This property is a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) built in January 1935, located in the verdant mountain village of Ukeya in Nagano City. The house offers a generous total floor area of 163.63㎡ (approximately 49.49 tsubo) laid out over a single story in a 5DK layout. The interior features multiple Japanese-style rooms, including a 10-tatami mat room, three 8-tatami mat rooms, a 4.5-tatami mat room, and a 4.5-tatami service room. The property benefits from good sunlight and ventilation. The land area is a substantial 595.04㎡ (approx. 179.99 tsubo), which includes adjacent land of 661 sqm + 221 sqm of wilderness, offering potential for gardening, farming, or agricultural living. Parking is available for three or more vehicles at no extra cost.
Key equipment and features include a washlet toilet, separate bath and toilet, washroom, independent kitchen, storage space, closet, lighting fixtures, propane gas, electricity, running water, and a sewer system. However, a special note advises that due to the property being vacant for an extended period, the equipment and machinery may not be functional. The property is registered with an akiya bank, is close to mountains, and is ideal for a home garden or agricultural lifestyle.
The area is part of Nagano's scenic countryside, offering a peaceful retreat. An interesting local fact is that Nagano Prefecture, formerly known as Shinshu, is famous for its high-quality soba noodles, with the cool climate and clean mountain water being ideal for buckwheat cultivation. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic and culturally significant Zenko-ji Temple, one of Japan's most important and popular Buddhist pilgrimage sites, located approximately within Nagano City.
