From the listing

A house I've been maintaining as a second home. Since I'm now returning to school while working and studying simultaneously, it's no longer practical to use a second home, so I've decided to sell it. / Currently I have minimal furniture (mostly empty inside) and visit once a week. The air conditioner (1 unit), automatic hot water bath, refrigerator, washing machine, sunken kotatsu, TV, and bicycle all work (confirmed as of June 30, 2026). Although old, it's ready to live in immediately. Being surrounded by roads and pathways, it gets good sunlight, and because the sea is near, there's good ventilation when windows are opened. Please visit in person to confirm. Right now water, gas, and electricity are all under contract. / Condition: The toilet is flush-type with a single septic tank (last inspected December 2024), and there's a sewage pipe in front of the entrance. The town hall told me there's also a sewage access point at the northwest corner of the property. The entrance hallway sags in parts, but according to the carpenter, the foundation joists are fine and it can be fixed by laying boards on top. The tatami in the 4.5-mat Japanese room is damaged. Cracks have appeared in the concrete fence. / Additionally, all doors and windows open and close, but the condition regarding differential settlement is unknown. There are no roof leaks. I don't see any termites. However, the condition of wood in hidden areas is unknown. There are no survey maps or inspection completion certificates. / Current Status: An empty house in move-in-ready condition / Since this is an old property, I expect there may be some wear and deterioration in areas not visible. Please understand this is an 'as-is' sale and consider the stated price accordingly.

Where a detail is not shown, the source listing did not state it. We leave it out rather than guess.

The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 34,600 yen per sqm, down about 11% over five years (38,800 to 34,600), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 5,321 yen per sqm of land, 77% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 23,300 yen per sqm. The benchmark is for bare land; akiya prices usually bundle a worn building, so a large gap is normal and does not by itself mean a bargain.
