Spacious Traditional Home Steps from Chiri-ga-hama Beach in Minamichita
This substantial property presents a rare opportunity to own a classic Japanese home in a prime coastal location. The house, built in June 1963, is a two-story wooden structure offering a generous 175.2 sqm (approximately 52.99 tsubo) of living space on a sizable 231.61 sqm (approximately 70.06 tsubo) plot. The layout is exceptionally spacious, configured as a 10K, featuring eight Japanese-style tatami rooms and four Western-style rooms, providing immense flexibility for living, guest accommodation, or creative use. A notable feature is that the doors between rooms can be removed, allowing the spaces to be opened up for an even more expansive feel.
In addition to the main house, the property includes a separate single-story wooden building of 16.52 sqm and a storage shed, offering excellent potential for use as a studio, workshop, or guest house. The location is the standout feature: it is just a one-minute walk from Utsumi Chiri-ga-hama Beach. This proximity means you can literally step out of your house in a swimsuit and be at the shore in moments, making summer living incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The property faces a road to the south and is situated within a Category I Residential Zone in a Urbanization Promotion Area, with a building coverage ratio of 60%.
