Historic Relocatable Kominka in Kameoka, Kyoto

This is a property for the sale of a building intended for relocation. The building is an approximately 150-year-old historic Setan-style kominka (traditional farmhouse) that was relocated to its current site around 150 years ago. The building has been renovated to its original form, allowing you to appreciate the spatial value unique to a traditional kominka.

The renovation work has beautifully restored the building to its original appearance. Inside, you will find a robust wooden framework featuring a daikokubashira (central pillar) and large beams of jimatsu (local pine), with soot-stained beams and other traditional features throughout. The property showcases a variety of earthen walls, including a light yellow genkan (entrance), an egg-lime plaster doma (earthen floor), a lime-finished kitchen, a nakanuri (middle-coat plaster) storage room, and a fiber-wall tatami room, all of which evoke the craftsmanship of skilled artisans and the passage of time, adding depth to the space.

The property is located in a convenient area with nature, mountains, and a river nearby, making it an ideal candidate for relocation to a place that holds personal significance for you. Please note that simply relocating and reconstructing the building as-is may not comply with the Building Standards Act. The building is a single-storey wooden structure with a floor area of 182.43 m² on a land area of 671.31 m². It features 4 bedrooms, a living-dining-kitchen (LDK), and a storage room (S). The property is located in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture, a 3-minute walk from the Shorinjima bus stop on the Kameoka Furusato Bus line. The property is situated in a semi-urban adjustment area, so building replacement and use as a dual-purpose residence are possible, but restrictions on building scale and usage type apply.
