Full description

Introduction: A detached house with a garden set in the mountains of Tsugoji Town on the east side of Gotsu City. The property has been regularly maintained while vacant and is in good condition. Being on high ground, it offers expansive natural scenery with excellent sunlight and a bright impression. The interior features 6 Japanese-style rooms and a reception room with a spacious floor plan. Movable furniture can be transferred for free if desired. / Important Matters: Repairs are needed (furniture removal, floor sagging, etc.; confirm during viewing). Buddhist altar and shelf are to be removed beforehand; other furniture will be transferred in current condition. The parking space is in front of the house entrance. One regular car can be parked. One additional light truck can be parked if the flower bed in front is removed. Details to be confirmed on-site during viewing.
