Full description
We are offering a wooden house built approximately 50 years ago and extensive land (approximately 800 tsubo). This is a place that my aunt treasured for many years; we inherited it, but maintenance has become difficult. The site is now overgrown with bamboo thickets and trees. Therefore, we do not arrange for cleanup or tree cutting on our side; we are looking for someone who will take over the property in its current condition (as-is sale). / Property/Land Features: Land area: approximately 800 tsubo (Due to the extensive site, it can be used for various purposes such as vegetable gardens, material storage, dog rescue facility, dog run, etc.) Building: A wooden house built approximately 50 years ago (1F has 2 Japanese-style rooms, a bath, 2 toilets, not certain if they are usable now; 2F has 2 rooms). There may be a roof leak. Currently vacant, but if renovated, it should still be in good enough condition to live in. Other items on site: A prefab shed used as storage, an old car (1 vehicle) not disposed of for 30 years (not confirmed whether it runs). / Regarding the disposal of bamboo on the site, tree cutting/trimming, cleaning inside the prefab, and disposal of the old car, we ask that the buyer handle and cover all of these. Therefore, with the premise that significant effort and disposal costs will be incurred, we would like to offer the land and building at the price listed below. / This is a property that requires difficult work, but with effort, it has the potential to transform into a very attractive space. / We recommend this for those who want to start a countryside lifestyle by acquiring large land and enjoying DIY and renovation, those with heavy machinery who can personally handle tree/bamboo cutting and land clearing, or those looking for material storage or hobby space that takes advantage of the size. / This will be an as-is sale transaction on the public record books.

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.
