Full description
A family of three lived here from 2017 but found it too spacious, so they purchased a more compact home in a neighboring town (relocated at age 84). Currently enjoying vegetable gardening on nearby rented farmland (150 tsubo, with parking, 5,000 yen annual rent, renewable). South-facing with excellent sun exposure. No water damage. Water and plumbing renovated in 2022. / Kakegawa is known for tea. Nearby: Kakegawa Castle, Flower and Bird Garden, and ECOPA Sports Park (free). Multiple day-use hot springs in the area. Ideal for country living. 90 minutes from Kakegawa Station to Tokyo by Shinkansen; about 4km to city center, convenient for commuting to Tokyo while living in the country. Immediate handover possible. Rental possible under certain conditions. / If interested in this property, I'd like to discuss your ideas and price. This house was built by a carpenter and will last a hundred years.
