A Traditional Japanese Home in Seiyo, Ehime, Offering a Life Surrounded by Sea and Mountains
The house itself was built in January 1972, making it 54 years old, and features a classic wooden structure. The layout is a 4K configuration, providing four rooms plus a kitchen. The total building area is 74.72 square meters, set on a generous 172.76 square meter corner plot. The property includes parking for two or more vehicles. Essential facilities include electricity and a public water supply. The septic tank requires periodic emptying. The home features traditional Japanese-style rooms (washitsu). A notable feature is a 5.2-tatami mat Western-style room that was added as an extension in 2001 (Heisei 13). Furthermore, the grounds contain a two-story, lightweight steel-framed warehouse measuring 35.2 square meters, offering ample storage space.
It is critically important to note that the property is located within a designated debris flow warning zone (土石流警戒区域). Prospective buyers must conduct thorough due diligence regarding this geological hazard.
The area of Seiyo City is part of the Shikoku Karst and offers stunning natural landscapes, from rolling highlands to a dramatic coastline. An interesting fact is that the nearby Shikoku Karst is one of Japan's three major karst landscapes, featuring unique limestone formations and expansive grasslands. The closest major tourist attraction is the Shikoku Karst itself, a renowned scenic spot perfect for hiking and enjoying panoramic views, located within the Seiyo Geopark.
