About this home

Eight-plus rooms across two floors facing Himegahama Beach; wood frame, 1970s era.

Rain damage through the roof is significant and will need real money or sweat to fix before it's liveable again.

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

From the listing

A mid-sized property consisting of a former beach house and a residential dwelling. A 2-story building located right next to Himegahama Beach, a famous tourist spot on Nakajima. The property has a large land area with an inner courtyard and rear garden. The property has deteriorated significantly during its vacancy, though the structure itself remains sound; repair of damaged sections would allow for continued habitation. Sections of the ceiling and floor are severely damaged due to rain infiltration from broken roof tiles, requiring either significant financial investment or DIY efforts. The property is listed at 0 yen, but substantial investment will be necessary for practical use. / *Updated 2022.9.12: Due to ownership issues, the seaward property (the former beach house) cannot be used. Only the mountain-side property is available for use. / Extremely unique location. Located approximately 200m from the nearest residence, surrounded by a graveyard and mandarin orchards, creating a very quiet environment. (According to neighbors, the graveyard expanded after the house was built.) Located at the edge of a settlement with no residences to the east; beyond an 800m footpath is a campground. The area around the campground is a large bay known as a premier fishing spot, making it realistic for ocean enthusiasts, fishing enthusiasts, and DIY lovers to use as a vacation property. / The district has excellent potential: Nagashi district is located in the southeast of Nakajima and is home to the island's best beach, making it the only true tourist village in mandarin island. While citrus cultivation remains the primary industry, there are important facilities such as Matsuyama City's seaside accommodation facility "Hoshi-furu Terrace" and private accommodation "THE BONDS," with particularly heavy tourist traffic in summer. / The interior shows significant deterioration, but the building structure itself is sound and habitable with proper maintenance. Walking distance of 1 minute to Himegahama Beach, one of Nakajima's landmark beaches. Not in a densely populated area. / Overall there is significant damage, particularly severe roof leaks in the main house requiring repair.
