This beautifully renovated home in Yunosato is simply stunning!

Perched atop a hill, this home commands fantastic views across the valley with Mount Yotie visible through the trees and woodland views from the other three sides. Making for a genuinely cosy 'foresty' vibe, but also with the wide-open, sweeping views outwards from the front.

The home also benefits from its South facing position and aspect with an abundance of natural light and warmth flooding through from the front of the house.

The immaculate internal renovation was completed just before winter, so viewing as soon as possible is highly recommended.

A sweeping driveway takes you up from the access road and round to a large parking area easily accommodating 4 cars and ideal for either an additional home-build or large garage / car port.

Up the wooden steps on to the semi-covered outdoor porch area, the house welcomes you with a very homely 'genkan' with plenty of room for all manor of winter and other season wear and fair. An additional storage area is located off the genkan and there is a separate small boiler room.

As you enter, the house forks off with a new modern toilet and bathroom with ONSEN...YES REAL ONSEN...to the left. And to the right, as you pass the a delightful and functional table for keys and whatnot, the ceiling suddenly ascends to double height, revealing the living room wrapped with large windows taking in the full seasonal delights of snow dancing down in winter and beautiful vivid colours in Spring, Summer and Autumn.

Off the living room, and cleverly sunken down a level, is the kitchen and dining space. This gives the kitchen a nice balance of being connected to and part of the wider space, but situated a level down, the feel of being self contained and not imposing on the living and entertaining area.

A set of stairs at the end of the room, at the back of the house, takes you up to the second floor with two well proportioned and appointed bedrooms, a further living/relaxation space, and a second toilet.

The first bedroom boast a sizeable double bed AND adult-sized bunkbeds, allowing for 4 to comfortably sleep.

The hallway leading along to the second bedroom and second toilet has been sensibly utilised as a reading room, with sofa, coffee table and book shelves, and overlooks the large living room below.

The second bedroom again boasts a sizeable double bed, vaulted, double-height ceilings and a relaxation platform, for reading, meditating or simply to formulate thoughts.

Although not fully completed at this stage, there is even a third level in the attic, which could and would easily accommodate a further 4 beds. Ideal for kids to squirrel away in leaving the parents downstairs to discuss high finance and geopolitics over a good bottle or more.

The home has the relevant and necessary licence for short-term rentals and will surely generate annual revenues of circa circa ¥5m JPY.

Houses of this caliber are rare in the market.

With build costs being on the high side, this property represents a great alternative to building new or renovating old.

Calculating current costs of land, property and build / renovation, it would be hard to achieve similar for under this asking price.
