Spacious Home with Generous Land in a Quiet Residential Area near Pilot Highway, Teshikaga, Hokkaido
The property's most significant feature is its expansive 976.26 sqm plot, which includes not only the building but also a large, flat vacant area. This offers tremendous potential for flexible use and customization, allowing new owners to design the layout to their specific needs. The house itself is a two-story wooden structure with a zinc-coated steel plate roof, built in the Showa 57 era (1982). It reflects the popular Western-style architecture of its time, featuring a distinctive interior that blends Japanese and Western elements. This includes Japanese-style rooms with a tokonoma (alcove) and butsuma (Buddhist altar space), alongside Western-style rooms with carpeting and flooring.
Currently vacant, the property is an akiya (空き家), and while it offers a solid foundation, it presents an excellent canvas for renovation to create a comfortable and modern living space tailored to the new owner's preferences. The property is equipped with electricity, public water supply, and an individual septic tank (単独浄化槽).
The area surrounding Teshikaga is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and major tourist attractions. The property is situated in the heart of eastern Hokkaido's Akan-Mashu National Park, famous for its pristine caldera lakes. The closest major landmark is the breathtaking Lake Mashū, one of the clearest lakes in the world, located just a short drive away. The region is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering hiking, hot springs (onsen), and wildlife viewing, with the nearby Kushiro Marsh being a designated Ramsar wetland site.
