Full description
Surrounded by nature, expansive freedom. A property where you can fully enjoy country living with extensive farmland and a residence! / A two-story detached house located about 1.5 km from the center of Sakurae Town, positioned in the mountainous region of Gotsu City, in a naturally-rich location. The property consists of the main residence built in 1948 (with an extension in 1982) featuring 11 spacious rooms, a two-story barn built in 1966 that can serve as agricultural machinery storage, and a garage built in 1985 capable of parking two standard vehicles. The main house features 8 Japanese-style rooms and 3 Western-style rooms with a spacious 10-mat dining kitchen. There are numerous pieces of furniture and household items, many of which are still usable. Transfer will be in current condition. (The owner will bear the cost of removing the Buddhist altar and Shinto shrine.) Adjacent agricultural land (1,121 square meters) is included. Some crops are currently being cultivated. Highly recommended for those interested in starting serious home gardening or pursuing agriculture. In addition to the garage, approximately 3 more vehicles can be parked on the grounds. / Repairs needed: Floor sagging, interior wall cracks, sliding door replacement, tatami mat replacement, water stains on ceiling (water leak already repaired) / Special notes: Administrative procedures (registration, agricultural land law application procedures, etc.) will require some time. Property transfer timing is negotiable.

Area and hazard data
- About 243.7 km from the coast
- About 242.8 km to the nearest primary school
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.
Floor plans
Municipal conditions and restrictions
Some towns attach conditions to an empty-home purchase, for example a residency requirement or farmland-law (nochi-ho) approval, which is a local sign-off needed before farmland can change hands or use. These come from the source listing.
- Must accept and take on agricultural land and woodland
Always confirm the current conditions with the town before you commit.
