Secluded Island Warehouse and Office with Sea Views in Ehime
This unique property is situated on a remote island in the Seto Inland Sea, part of Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture. The building, which was previously owned with the dream of turning it into a craft beer brewery and bar, comprises a warehouse and office space. Accessible by a one-hour ferry ride from the port in Matsuyama City, the property is a 10-15 minute drive from the main port on the island itself. The island is home to approximately 3,000 residents and is a popular destination for fishing year-round, with some visitors arriving by private cruiser from Hiroshima.
The structure is two stories, with the first floor built from reinforced concrete (RC) and the second floor constructed of wood. The total floor area is 134 square meters, and the property sits on a 95-square-meter plot of land. The building features many windows, creating a bright and open atmosphere. The large Japanese-style room on the second floor can be used while maintaining its brightness even if walls are added. The first floor has high ceilings, offering the potential to create a mezzanine or loft-style layout by adding a staircase and intermediate floor. There is currently no bathroom, so a new one would need to be installed.
The property is being sold as-is, based on the official registry. While there are no renovation contractors on the island, the seller can introduce companies from Matsuyama City that have experience working on the island. Some items will remain in the rooms, but the property is scheduled to be delivered after their removal. However, it may be possible to leave items that could be used for a self-build project. The property is located in front of a park that was once a junior high school site, and the roadside is lined with cherry blossom trees. The area is also frequented by local seniors for gateball games, suggesting potential for a small business.
