About this home

Eight rooms across a single floor with a farmer's setup: greenhouse and barn still on the land, well and septic to manage, pre-1981 wood frame on 1431 square metres. Room for two households or a working smallholding, though the bones need looking at.

Draft summary from the listing, not yet reviewed by a founder.

From the listing

Popular single-story house in a rural area. Very large floor plan of 8DK with excellent sun exposure. Previously occupied by a farmer, the property includes a vinyl greenhouse and barn on the grounds, making it ideal for those interested in home gardening or agriculture. / Repairs: Some required (tenant's responsibility) / Special notes: Furnishings inside the house will be disposed of by the owner. The handling of agricultural equipment and remnants in the barn will be determined in consultation with prospective buyers. In addition to the main house, the property includes 3 buildings including a barn and 1 vinyl greenhouse. The road adjacent to the property is a Class 2 road under Building Standard Law Article 42, requiring 2-meter setback from the road center. The property may only be used for residential purposes (no farm cafes, retail, or business operations allowed). No building permit exists, making it difficult to obtain financing (cash purchase required).

Hazards and ground
Earthquake code
Caution
Built before the 1981 earthquake code. Expect a structural survey, harder mortgages, and a retrofit budget; towns often grant part of that cost.

A pre-1981 build predates Japan's current earthquake code, which can matter for insurance and renovation. We flag the era from the year built where we have it.
