Mobara City Kobayashi Property with Old House on Land

This property in the Kobayashi area of Mobara City offers a substantial plot of approximately 1,257 tsubo (4,155 sqm) of land, including a traditional Japanese-style house built in 1968. The property is being sold as land with an old house, and the current owner has been undertaking a DIY renovation project. The main structure is a single-story wooden house with a total floor area of approximately 129.27 sqm (39.10 tsubo). The property features a spacious site that combines flat residential land and forested slopes, providing a secluded, hideaway-like atmosphere within a quiet rural settlement. The land includes a bamboo grove, and the owner has mentioned that wild vegetables and bamboo shoots can be foraged on the property. The main house has had some renovations, including new aluminum sash windows on the veranda, exterior wall repairs, a replaced septic tank, and the installation of a wood-burning stove. The interior is partially finished, with the former connected Japanese-style rooms having been opened into a larger floor space with new flooring. The kitchen sink has been replaced, a shower space has been added near the kitchen, and a new toilet has been installed. The property also includes an old storehouse (naya) which is in poor condition with a damaged roof. The site is paved around the house, providing parking space. Public water, electricity, city gas, and a combined septic tank are available, though the listing notes that utility infrastructure will need to be set up. The property is located in a rural settlement within Mobara City, approximately 1.9 km from Shin-Mobara Station on the JR Sotobo Line and about 4 km from Mobara Station. Nearby amenities include a supermarket (Sein's) about 1.3 km away, a convenience store (Seven-Eleven) about 900 meters away, a home center (Cainz) about 2.4 km away, and an elementary school about 1.2 km away. The area is within a city planning zone with no designated land use. The building coverage ratio is 60% and the floor area ratio is 200%. The property fronts a public road to the north with a width of approximately 2.8 to 3.4 meters, but it is a Section 42-2 road, requiring a setback for any rebuilding. A crucial note from the listing indicates that a large portion of the property is designated as a "Landslide Warning Area" and a "Landslide Special Warning Area." This imposes legal restrictions on building or extending structures. The property is also within a designated area under the Specific Urban River Flood Damage Countermeasures Act. The property is being sold as-is (genkyo uwa watashi). The webmaster's comment notes the elevation is about 18.4 meters above sea level, so there is no concern about flooding. The property is listed as available for purchase by Bousou Net.
