Description
This is a single-story detached house in the Chojabaru area of Kokonoe Town, Kusu District, Oita Prefecture. It is a leasehold property in a villa area. The land is managed by the landowner, and ground rent is 20,000 yen per month.
The owner came across this house about 5 years ago while looking for a rental home, wanting to return to their native Oita. The building was originally used as a soba restaurant combined with a residence, and was about 10 years old at the time. It was introduced by an acquaintance, and the owner decided to buy it immediately after viewing it. After purchase, renovations were carried out mainly on the plumbing areas, and the former shop space was converted into a living room. The single-story layout gives a sense of openness and allows for relaxed living.
The owner has enjoyed living close to nature through the seasons, with a vegetable garden, BBQs and bonfires in the garden. Until last year, the house was also operated as a minpaku (private lodging) for about one year with a permit. Kokonoe attracts many visitors for hiking and hot springs, and the house earned average monthly sales of around 200,000 yen, including in winter. Demand is especially high during the hiking season and long holidays, and many guests from Japan and overseas came to enjoy nature. The owner is currently based overseas for work and has no plans to settle in Japan, so they would like to pass the house on to someone who will take good care of it.
The building is a wooden single-story detached house in a quiet area rich in nature. Nearby there are trailheads, hot springs and natural spring water spots. At the same time, supermarkets, hot springs, a post office and other facilities are within about a 10-minute drive, so daily life was never a problem. The area is very cold in winter, so heating and studless (winter) tires are necessary, but cold-climate air conditioners are installed in all rooms.
Public transportation is limited, so a car is necessary for daily life. The owner feels the property suits those who enjoy living in nature. It can be used as a minpaku, as a vacation home and base for hiking and hot spring trips, or as a base for a small shop or other activities.
Hand-over is possible from April 2026.

大分県玖珠郡九重町、長者原エリアにある平屋の一軒家です。別荘地の借地物件で、土地は地主さんが管理しており、地代として月2万円がかかります。この家とは約5年前、地元の大分に戻りたいと、借りられる家を探している中で出会いました。もともとは蕎麦屋兼住居として使われていた建物で、当時は築10年ほど。知り合いから紹介され、内覧してすぐに購入を決めました。購入後は水回りを中心にリフォームを行い、店舗部分だったスペースをリビングとして使えるよう改装しました。平屋ならではの開放感があり、ゆったりとした暮らしを楽しめる家です。
庭では家庭菜園をしたり、BBQや焚き火をしたりと、四季折々の自然を身近に感じながら生活してきました。また昨年まで約1年間、民泊許可を取得して民泊としても運用していました。九重は登山や温泉を目的に訪れる方が多く、冬場も含めて月平均20万円前後の売上がありました。登山シーズンや連休などは特に需要があり、自然を楽しみに来られる国内外の方が多く訪れてくださいました。現在は仕事の都合により海外を拠点に生活しており、今後日本に定住する予定がないため、この家を大切に使っていただける方にお譲りしたいと思っています。
建物は木造平屋の一軒家で、自然豊かで静かな環境です。近くには登山口や温泉、湧水スポットなどもあり、自然を満喫できる立地です。一方で、車で10分ほどの範囲にスーパーや温泉、郵便局などもあり、生活にも困りませんでした。冬は寒さが厳しい地域なので暖房設備やスタッドレスタイヤは必要ですが、全室に寒冷地仕様のエアコンを設置しています。
公共交通機関は限られているため、日常生活には車が必要な環境です。自然の中での暮らしを楽しめる方に向いている物件だと思います。民泊としての活用や、登山や温泉巡りの拠点としての別荘利用、また小さなお店や活動の拠点としても使いやすい家です。
2026年4月以降にお引き渡し可能です。
