Historic Seaside Retreat in Isahaya with Panoramic Ocean Views
This unique property, listed as Isahaya City Akiya Bank No. 70, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with immediate access to the sea. Built in January 1929, this 97-year-old wooden structure presents a significant renovation project but comes with an unparalleled location just a 10-second walk from the ocean. The house features a spacious 6DK layout across two floors, with a total building area of 142.13 square meters situated on a 129.4 square meter plot of land.
According to the agent's notes, the property requires substantial repair. Essential equipment includes water supply, public gas, and propane. The drainage system is a septic tank (汲み取り式), and there is a dedicated parking space. The property is situated on residential land and is currently vacant, with handover conditions open for discussion. Critical special notes indicate the location is within a debris flow yellow zone, a tsunami disaster alert area (for waves under 0.3 meters), and is included on flood inundation hazard maps.
The area of Isahaya City is geographically remarkable, bordered by three distinct seas: the lively Tachibana Bay, the oyster-rich Ariake Sea, and the calm Omura Bay, perfect for canoeing. Inland, the city is framed by mountains featuring spots like the Todoroki Gorge, a nationally selected site for pure water, and numerous hiking trails. A major landmark nearby is the iconic Unzen-dake (Mount Unzen), an active volcano and national park within the Unzen-Amakusa National Park, offering hot springs, dramatic landscapes, and hiking opportunities just a short drive from this coastal home.
