A Riverside Retreat in Gujo: A Renovation Opportunity in a Historic Setting
The property's facilities include a public water supply, a septic tank system, and a south-facing garden. Key features highlight its potential as a charming retreat: it is south-facing, registered with the Akiya Bank, situated riverside (Riverside), serves as a summer retreat, boasts a traditional old folk house style, offers mountain views, and is a two-story structure. The interior is noted for having solid flooring, suggesting the structure itself has potential for reuse. However, the exterior and attached buildings show significant deterioration, meaning any purchase must be made with the clear understanding that repairs and regeneration are a prerequisite.
The property is spacious, with a total floor area of 232.51 square meters set on a generous 600.83 square meter corner plot. The layout is a substantial 9DK, and parking is available for two or more vehicles. Additional desirable points include its location in a quiet neighborhood, city gas supply, a system kitchen, two toilet locations, a bath reheating function, suitability for two-generation living, and a monitor-equipped intercom. The year of construction is unknown, and the property is currently vacant.
The area surrounding Gujo City is renowned for its pristine natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. It is famously home to the Gujo Odori, a traditional Bon dance festival that lasts for over 30 nights in the summer and is designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan. A major landmark near this property is the historic Gujo Hachiman Castle, a mountaintop castle known for its authentic wooden reconstruction and stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the Yoshida River.
