Secluded Island Getaway on Naru Island, Goto

A rare land opportunity on the remote and beautiful Naru Island in the Goto archipelago, Nagasaki Prefecture. This detached wooden house sits across multiple parcels of land totaling over 3,400 square meters, encompassing residential land, agricultural fields, forested hillside, and mixed-use plots. The property presents significant structural deterioration and is best approached as a land-value opportunity with potential for a teardown and rebuild project. Naru Island offers a peaceful, off-grid lifestyle surrounded by pristine coastline and rich natural beauty, accessible via a 30-minute flight from Nagasaki Airport to Fukue Airport (ORC), followed by a 30-minute taxi ride.

The property comprises eight registered land parcels across the Ogushi area of Naru Town, Goto City. The parcels include residential land (427 sqm), agricultural fields (2,394 sqm), forested hillside (384 sqm), mixed-use land (128 sqm), and a drainage channel (7.59 sqm). The existing wooden structure is a traditional Japanese house with tatami flooring, shoji screens, a kitchen, multiple bedrooms across two floors, a Western-style room, and an entrance hall (genkan). Ownership was transferred through inheritance in February 2024.
