That looks like a lovely property from the aerial view, just enough land to get you started on a self sufficient lifestyle without there being too much to take care of and what a lovely location. You've also got neighbours nearby so you are part of a community but they aren't right on top of you so you can enjoy some privacy when you want.

What are drop toilets ?

[gonbechan]

drop toilets are non flushing plop into the tank underneath nightmares.
You need the honeysucker to come out once a month and suck it all out.

Drop toilets - never heard that term before!!

In other words 'outhouses' in the house!!!

I am merely applying a Gonbe translation of the Kansai term ぼっちゃん便所 or ドッポン便所 which refers to 汲み取り式便所

That site has a mixed bag with prices from rock bottom to rediculous.
You can view the listings by price Low to High as well as by various other sorting criteria.

I only chose to post this one because it is quite a lovely property with a good bit of land at an incredible price.
It would even be worth buying with the view to rebuild IMHO.

That looks perfect. Mountains/hills in the background. Forest nicely placed by the house. House itself looks lovely. Land size just right.

There must be so many nice properties out there that are not listed anywhere.

That's gross, think that would be my first job to get sorted out. But other than that a lovely property.
