## Rare Island Retreat 

### Just 90 minutes from Kobe

![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHe1W7lKB36ytCgNl0OXIJvsbUpoF8DxdZzuiVa)Tucked away on Konoshima, a small resort island in Okayama Prefecture, \
this renovated log-style home is a quiet escape with serious potential. 

![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHeyX0OXrAAcFNUqX341KG69Ofp5HyVbmxl0WBs)The catch? It’s an older build from the Showa era and not officially registered but that’s common \
for rural island properties in Japan.

But here’s what really makes it worth a second look: **the** ***price tag***!

At just **¥3.3M** (roughly $22,785 USD *as of May 9, 2025*), this single-story property offers 33m² of interior space plus a scenic outdoor area with waterfront views.

- **Seaside BBQ Space**: A covered, brick-built BBQ area with ocean views turns mealtime into an experience. It’s like an outdoor living room, perfect for entertaining or unwinding under the stars.
- **Ready to Use**: Comes fully furnished with home appliances, air conditioners, and even includes a moped and mini car, an ideal setup for island life.


- **Renovated Interiors**: Solid wood flooring, a cozy loft, and stylish touches throughout make this compact space feel warm and modern.
- **Loft + Open Layout**: Spacious feel thanks to its 1DK layout with an open living area and a roomy loft (fits up to four adults!).
- **Flexible Usage**: With a separate warehouse, vegetable garden space, and strong Wi-Fi potential, this could double as a creative retreat or a rental geared toward digital nomads.
- **Natural Charm**: Perched on high ground with sweeping sea views, the property faces calm, sparkling waters and enjoys a mild climate year-round, popular with vacationers from Osaka, Kobe, and Okayama.
