House in Toyama

From the listing

Featured property report: This house is located in the Isobe district, a rural mountain area in the north of Himi City. About 15 minutes from Himi's town center, it sits amid pastoral rice paddies. Next to the property is a JA branch office, and across the road is Isobe Shrine, famous for its wisteria. When we visited in late April, the wisteria was already blooming beautifully, though peak bloom is usually early May. The main appeal is this tourist-destination shrine setting right outside. I must note upfront that this property is marked "requires renovation", substantial repairs will be necessary. The rear tatami room on the first floor has floor damage from moisture exposure during vacancy. All tatami mats are currently removed and ventilated regularly, but the flooring must be completely replaced. The room facing the entrance is in slightly better condition, though it varies by location. The kitchen appears relatively sound. The toilet and bath near the entrance could function but ideally should be updated. However, the second floor (created later as additional rooms) appears usable as-is, though the front room lacks a ceiling and would need finishing if used as a residential space. The view from the windows overlooks the sacred grove of Isobe Shrine in the distance. A storage shed stands beside the main house, essential for farm tool storage in rural living. In summary, this is not a "quick fix and move in" property. I recommend consulting professionals and thinking carefully before purchase. While the work is substantial, the location is excellent and the surrounding environment beautiful. Serious candidates are invited to consider this property. / Property condition: Requires renovation
