Description
[Kiwa Town] A life of "growing your own firewood" in a hideaway at the foot of the mountains. A self-sufficiency base with a detached wood-fired boiler bath and a small woodlot.
Quietly nestled at the foot of the mountains, this property is like a secret base for adults. It sits on a calm, elevated site surrounded by majestic mountains, yet a short walk brings you to government offices and shops. The grounds include not only a field but also a "small woodlot," making this a place where you can start a genuine self-sufficient life, producing both your own food and your own fuel.
<Why this property stirs the romance of the countryside>
A wood-fired boiler bath heated with timber cut from your own woodlot
The bath is in a small detached outbuilding (hut) separate from the main house, so every bath feels like a little adventure.
It is fully equipped with a boiler that can burn firewood. The warmth of water heated with wood you have cut yourself from the woodlot on the property is an irreplaceable luxury.
Farming under open sky with mountain views
Because the property sits on slightly elevated ground, you can enjoy working in the field while looking out over the big sky and beautiful mountain ranges in front of you.
With a field and a woodlot as your "living infrastructure," you get the feeling of building your life with your own hands.
A "mountain hideaway" with public facilities and shops close by
Despite the quiet surroundings, the property is in the Itaya area, the center of Kiwa Town, so there are a branch government office, shops, a post office and more nearby.
It offers a well-balanced location where you won't feel the inconvenience of daily shopping and administrative procedures that is common in rural life.
Flush toilet installed
Although this is an old house at the foot of the mountains, it has a comfortable flush toilet. Since it is something you use every day, this cleanliness is a point not to be overlooked.
<Points to check beforehand>
Floor condition and professional inspection: Some parts of the floor are damaged. Including the possibility of termites, we recommend having a building specialist inspect the condition before moving in and drawing up a repair plan accordingly.
Bath in a separate building: Because the bath is in a detached hut, it is advisable to check in person at the viewing the walking route to it, especially in winter, and how to operate the wood-fired boiler.
Recommended for:
People who strongly admire splitting firewood and living with fire, and want to be self-sufficient even in fuel
People who want a private, hideaway-like space but also need convenient access to shopping and the like
People who want to use their DIY skills to restore a house with advice from professionals

【紀和町】山裾の隠れ家で「薪を育てる」暮らし。別棟のボイラー風呂と小さな山林が付いた自給自足の拠点
山裾にそっと佇む、まるで大人の秘密基地のような隠れ家。 周囲を雄大な山々に囲まれた静かな高台でありながら、少し歩けば行政機関や商店が揃う利便性も兼ね備えています。敷地内には畑だけでなく「小さな山林」も含まれており、食料と燃料を自らの手で生み出す、本物の自給自足ライフを始められる場所です。
≪この物件が「男のロマン」を刺激する理由≫
自前の山林から切り出した木で沸かす「薪ボイラー風呂」
お風呂は母屋を離れた小さな別棟（小屋）にあり、入浴のたびに非日常のワクワク感を味わえます。
薪が使えるボイラーが完備されており、敷地内の山林から自分で切り出した木を燃料にして沸かすお湯の温もりは、何物にも代えがたい格別な贅沢です。
空を仰ぎ、山を望む「絶景の畑作業」
少し高台に位置しているため、目の前に広がる大きな空と美しい山並みを眺めながら農作業を楽しめます。
畑と山林という「暮らしのインフラ」が揃っているため、自分の手で生活を組み立てていく実感が得られます。
「山奥の隠れ家」なのに公共施設や商店がすぐそこ
これほど静かな環境でありながら、紀和町の中心部である板屋エリアのため、周囲には支庁や商店、郵便局などが揃っています。
田舎暮らしにありがちな「日用品の買い物や手続きの不便さ」を感じさせない、絶妙な立地バランスです。
安心の「水洗トイレ完備」
山裾の古民家でありながら、トイレは快適な水洗式が導入されています。毎日使う場所だからこそ、このクリーンさは見逃せないポイントです。
≪事前にご確認いただきたいポイント≫
床のコンディションと専門家の点検: 一部床が傷んでいる箇所が見られます。シロアリの可能性も含め、入居前に建築専門家による事前の状態確認と、それに伴う修繕プランを立てることをおすすめします。
別棟へのお風呂の移動: お風呂が別棟の小屋にあるため、特に冬場などの移動動線や、薪ボイラーの操作方法などは内覧時に実際に確認しておくと安心です。

薪割りや火のある暮らしに強い憧れがあり、燃料から自給してみたい方
隠れ家のようなプライベート空間を求めつつ、買い物などの利便性も外せない方
