Inherited Traditional House in Snow Country Akita with Storage Sheds
This property is an inherited traditional house located in the snow country of Akita Prefecture, specifically in Kitaakita City. The seller, who does not reside on-site, has entrusted local management. The location is a 10-minute walk from the Akita Nairiku Line's Aniai Station, with banks and small shops in the vicinity. The building is a two-story wooden structure accompanied by a 9.91㎡ storage shed and a single-story house built in 2004 (Heisei 16) measuring 19.87㎡. The layout is estimated to be 5LDK. The first floor comprises a living room, kitchen, two Japanese-style rooms, a washroom, and a bathroom. The second floor has two Japanese-style rooms and one Western-style room.
The land is approximately 54 tsubo (180.57㎡), a flat and regularly shaped plot in a tranquil, green environment zoned as residential. The building itself is old. The fixed asset tax is estimated to be around 16,500 yen per year. A critical note is that personal belongings remain inside the property. The buyer will be responsible for their disposal, though some items like TVs, stoves, and washing machines may still be usable. Due to the seller living far away, on-site viewings cannot be arranged by the seller; prospective buyers must be able to visit the property themselves. Key arrangements for any viewing are subject to consultation. The seller has decided to part with the property as they cannot manage it from a distance.
The sale will be conducted "as-is" (現状有姿) and based on public registry information (公簿売買). The property is currently vacant but contains leftover items. The serene area is part of Akita's famous snow country, offering a quiet, rural lifestyle. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Akita Nairiku Line is a scenic rural railway, particularly beautiful during the autumn foliage season. The region is also within reach of major natural landmarks like the Oga Peninsula, known for its dramatic coastlines and the legendary Namahage Festival.
