Ando Town, Nara, Japan House
For Sale
July
2014 -
We are selling our house in Japan and hopefully moving
this Summer. Please visit the
home page for
more information about where we are going. We purchased this property back in January of
2010 and it was a mess. We spent the last four years
turning this place into the masterpiece it is now.
Hopefully someone will purchase this place and enjoy the
relaxing atmosphere it has to offer.
The interior rooms are spacious and comfortable. The
outside yard is private, really quiet, and very
relaxing. This house is especially good for a family who
has dogs and likes the outdoors.
All this in a very nice neighborhood with very friendly
neighbors.
