Full description

The Mito-Sato township where this property is located is known as 'Kagura-no-Sato', the home of traditional performing arts nestled in natural beauty and gentle hills. An old farmhouse inherited by the grandmother and later the mother, along with associated fields, is being offered for sale. The grandmother was a farmer who owned rice paddies, though purchasing with the paddies separated is also possible. The house has been vacant for 20+ years, resulting in floor damage in places and requiring renovation. The house faces a public road with parking space available for approximately 4 vehicles. The land is on level ground with convenient vehicle access. Ideal for those seeking old farmhouse living, a weekend getaway, or vegetable gardening who would appreciate and care for the home the grandmother maintained. / Current condition: Spacious site with fields included. Rice paddies currently leased out (transfer of farming operations can be discussed with agricultural hopefuls). Road-side location on level ground. Electricity pole usage fee charged by Chugoku Electric Power (approximately 3,000 yen annually). Bucket/manual toilet system. Wood-fired bath. No municipal water supply (historically used well water via pump equipment; currently not in use, pump location unknown). Furnishings and items being cleared out.

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.
