Traditional Japanese Home in Nantan City with Private Bridge Access
This spacious traditional Japanese house, located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Hiyoshi-cho, Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture, offers a unique living opportunity. The property is a 2-story wooden structure with a total floor area of 161.17 square meters, situated on a 141.29 square meter corner plot. The layout is designated as 3SK, providing three rooms plus a kitchen-dining area. The home features a south-facing orientation, a system kitchen, two toilets, a bath with re-heating function, and a monitor-equipped intercom system, making it suitable for multi-generational living. The property includes parking for two or more vehicles.
Essential utilities are in place, including electricity, a public water supply, a septic tank system (cesspit), and propane gas. A critical feature of this property is the private bridge that provides access to the public road; the buyer will be responsible for its maintenance and management. It is also important to note that the property is located within a designated sediment disaster alert zone (debris flow), which is a legal restriction to be aware of.
The area of Hiyoshi-cho in Nantan City offers a serene lifestyle within Kyoto Prefecture. An interesting local fact is that the nearby JR Sanin Main Line, which services Hiyoshi Station just a one-minute walk from the property, is a scenic railway line that winds through the picturesque mountains and valleys of the Tamba region. For a major tourist attraction, residents are within a reasonable drive of the historic and culturally rich city of Kyoto, home to UNESCO World Heritage sites like Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion) and Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
