Spacious Traditional Home in Takaoka, Toyama with Significant Land
This property presents a substantial opportunity in the quiet residential area of Futagami, Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture. The house itself is a two-story wooden structure offering a generous 150.41 square meters of living space across a 14DK layout, providing ample room for a large or multi-generational family. The property sits on a large, 1602.36 square meter corner plot, a rare find that offers significant privacy and potential. Key features of the home include a south-facing orientation, a system kitchen, two toilets, a reheating function for the bath, a monitor-equipped intercom, and the convenience of city gas. Parking is available for two or more vehicles.
Critical information from the agent's notes must be carefully considered. The property is located within an "Urbanization Control Area" (市街化調整区域). This means that any reconstruction or change of use for the land or buildings will require permission under the City Planning Act. Furthermore, the agent explicitly notes that repairs are necessary (修繕必要), indicating the property likely requires some level of renovation or maintenance work.
The surrounding Futagami district offers a peaceful living environment while remaining accessible. The area is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that Takaoka is renowned for its centuries-old metal casting industry, particularly for Buddhist statues and bells. The closest major landmark is the iconic Zuiryū-ji Temple, a National Treasure of Japan known for its exquisite Zen architecture and serene gardens, located just a short drive from the property.
