A Unique Finnish Mini Log House in Kyoto's Serene Countryside
This distinctive property is a Finnish mini log house constructed in January 2024 using solid, untreated pine wood from Northern Europe. Built by a local, long-established construction company, the home exudes a pleasant natural wood aroma upon entry. The property is situated on a corner lot with excellent sunlight. For enhanced comfort and energy efficiency, the windows feature double-glazed glass with high thermal insulation, significantly reducing condensation during the winter months.
The house is equipped with a range of modern amenities. The kitchen features a system kitchen with a counter and an IH cooktop. The bathroom includes a reheating function for the bath, a bathroom dryer, and a washbasin with a shower attachment. The toilet is fitted with a bidet seat. Indoor features include a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and underfloor heating. The property is designed to be all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and comes with a parking space. Utilities include public water supply, propane gas, and a sewer system. The listing notes that the use of propane gas provides strong火力 (high heat output) for quick bath heating and cooking, and allows for faster recovery in the event of a disaster.
Located in the tranquil Kyotanba Town of Kyoto Prefecture, the area offers a peaceful rural lifestyle. An interesting local fact is that Kyotanba Town is known for its production of high-quality Kyoho grapes and wine. The region is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Tamba mountains. The closest major tourist attraction is the scenic Kiyomizu-dera Temple in eastern Kyoto, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its wooden stage overlooking a sea of maple trees, though it is approximately a 90-minute drive from the property.
The south side of the 250.00㎡ plot offers potential for expansion, such as adding an extension or a sauna, and is also suitable for a vegetable garden. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate handover.
