Full description

Introduction: A scenic 1964-built single-story property in Sakurae Kawagoe with a 4DK layout, predominantly featuring Japanese-style rooms that create a bright, wood-tone atmosphere overall. Kitchen, bathroom, and toilet have been renovated, though the kitchen area shows wear. 2019-model gas water heater installed. Used through autumn 2025; equipment inspection not performed at registration, so air conditioning and other fixtures may need replacement. Toilet is simple flush-type with bidet seat. In a municipal sewer service area; connection work recommended to upgrade to full water-flush system. Includes farmland (3 lots, 676 m² total) available to interested parties. Nearby facilities: Kawagoe Post Office ~1.1km, Michi-no-Eki Information Center Kawamoto ~6.3km, Food Plaza Sumairu ~6.5km, Welcia Ouchi Kawamoto drugstore ~6.6km, Wellness Kawamoto drugstore ~6.7km / Maintenance notes: Equipment inspection not yet performed, possible need for equipment replacement (confirmed operational autumn 2025), partial floor damage, sliding door panel replacement, suspected roof leak (1 location)

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.

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.

  • Limited to UI-turn (in-migration) residents until May 31, 2027

Always confirm the current conditions with the town before you commit.
