Historic 4DK Akiya in Kokonoe Town with Spacious Land
This property is a traditional Japanese wooden house built in January 1967, offering a generous 104.00㎡ of living space across a 4DK layout. The home sits on a sizable 137.00㎡ plot of land, providing ample outdoor space. The property is designated as an akiya (vacant house) and is listed with the Kokonoe Town Akiya Bank.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes propane gas for cooking and heating water, town water supply, and a traditional Japanese-style pit toilet (no flush toilet system). There is no septic tank, CATV, or internet connection installed. The house features a traditional bath heated by firewood (furo). Parking is available for one vehicle.
A critical note from the agent states: "For those who want to know detailed information about this vacant house, please register with the Kokonoe Town Akiya Bank. https://www.town.kokonoe.oita.jp/docs/2016120600011/ The price is under 1 million yen." This highlights the property's status within a municipal program aimed at revitalizing vacant homes and confirms its very affordable price point.
The property is located in the Matsuki area of Kokonoe Town, Oita Prefecture, a region renowned for its stunning natural beauty. The area is part of the larger Kuju mountain range, famous for its volcanic peaks, hot springs, and hiking trails. The closest major landmark is the majestic Kuju Mountains (Kujusan), a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and a defining feature of the Aso-Kuju National Park landscape.
