Priced to sell, this property is listed below market rates for land, with no value attached to the building. This land is flat, and good for someone who likes a little gardening.  The large trees to the rear will provide a quiet backdrop and privacy on one side.  Just above the site a small stream meanders by.  

The cottage is old and not registered, and in need of some major renovation work, making it the pet project for someone who is handy.  Alternatively, given the price, you could demolish the building and start from scratch.  

The land is a 2 minute drive in Hirafu Village, and a 20 minute walk on wide sidewalks.  The Hirafu Free Shuttle Bus stops just 5 minutes walk away on Route 343, by Kabayama Elementary School.  In summer, it is a nice stroll down to the Shiribetsu River.
