Full description
Purchased a property inherited by an acquaintance. Properties near the sea on Awaji Island are currently in high demand, but this price reflects the fact that renovation is essential. / Looking for early sale, seeking a smooth transaction. To emphasize again: renovation is essential, so please proceed with that in mind. Due to numerous inquiries, it will be first-come-first-served. Those interested in viewing should submit a viewing request. / This is a vacant property right next to a fishing boat charter port, a must-see for fishing enthusiasts. Whether you plan to live here yourself or rent it out, this property will definitely require repairs and maintenance, so I am offering it at a price that reflects this. I believe you can engage in rewarding renovation work, such as laying new flooring throughout and customizing the atmosphere to your liking. Keeping the retro appearance of the exterior while cleaning up the interior, and with some creative ideas, it could even work as a heritage home guesthouse rental (minpaku). Especially for those who can do DIY themselves, the location and price make this an incredible property. The reason I am not doing this myself is that I have become too busy with work and visit Awaji Island less frequently, so I cannot dedicate time to this. / The transaction will be as-is and based on registered area. / Please be aware that even if you purchase the property cheaply, subsequent maintenance costs (property taxes, repairs, etc.) may be substantial. Please exercise due caution in making your decision.
