Fully Renovated Single-Story House with Tenant in Place, Ideal for Owner Change in Otsu, Shiga
This property is a fully renovated single-story house located in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, offering excellent access to Kyoto and presenting an attractive owner-change opportunity with a tenant already in place. The house is just a 5-minute walk from the nearest station, making commutes to the Kyoto area highly convenient. The entire interior underwent a comprehensive renovation five years ago, including the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, washbasin area, flooring, and wall coverings. While the exterior shows its age, the interior is exceptionally clean and well-maintained.
Currently, a family of three—a couple in their 30s and their child—are living in the property as tenants and are taking good care of it. The desirability of the living environment is evidenced by multiple prospective tenants, highlighting strong rental demand in the area. The property features a single-story layout with a garden, a rare find, and includes a relaxing wooden deck in the yard. The floor plan has been modified from a 3K to a 2DK layout, comprising two Japanese-style rooms and one Western-style room. One parking space is available.
The land size is approximately 50 tsubo (about 165 square meters), with a building area of 66.12 square meters. The wooden structure was built 59 years ago. The current monthly rent is 60,000 yen, providing stable income potential. The listing is for the land with an old house attached, and the transaction will be conducted 'as-is' and based on the public registry. The asking price is 10,000,000 yen. The handover timing is negotiable.
The Otsu area offers a blend of lakeside living and historical proximity. An interesting local fact is that Otsu is the capital of Shiga Prefecture and sits on the southern shore of Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake. The lake has influenced the region's culture and cuisine for centuries. The closest major landmark is the stunning Lake Biwa itself, a premier destination for boating, cycling, and enjoying scenic lakeside parks like the Otsu Lakeside Nagisa Park.
