On July 21, Seongju-gun announced that it is recruiting residents for three 'Returnee Farmer's Houses' to provide a stable settlement foundation and support a successful transition to farming life for those dreaming of relocating to the countryside.


The three 'Returnee Farmer's Houses' available for this recruitment are located in Jayang-ri and Bongjeong-ri, Chojeon-myeon. Each house is 33 square meters and is equipped with a living room and kitchen, one bedroom, and one bathroom, offering convenient facilities.

Residents can stay in the 'Returnee Farmer's House' for one year from the move-in date, and the stay can be extended for an additional year if no new residents are recruited.


The monthly rent is 80,000 KRW, and utility fees are 150,000 KRW per month. Eligibility is limited to those who have continuously lived in an urban area (dong unit) for at least one year as of the application date and wish to move to Seongju-gun for farming, or those who have moved to Seongju-gun within the past two years (as of the application date) and are currently engaged in, or wish to engage in, agriculture.


There are a total of eight 'Returnee Farmer's Houses' in Seongju-gun (one in Daega, one in Yongam, one in Byeokjin, and five in Chojeon). These houses provide temporary accommodation to reduce the housing burden for new returnee farmers, and offer agricultural technology education and support for adapting to the local community, helping ensure a successful transition to farming in the region.
