Rural Wooden House with Attached Rice Field in Ogaki, Gifu
This property is a detached wooden house built in 1976, located in the rural Kamishizu area of Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture. The house offers a 2DK layout with a total floor area of 61.55 square meters, situated on a generous plot of 711.44 square meters. A significant feature is that 478 square meters of this land is a rice field, presenting an opportunity for an agricultural lifestyle. The property is listed for sale through the Akiya Bank program at a price of 800,000 yen.
Critical agent notes highlight several important considerations. The floor has sagging, indicating deterioration and potential termite damage. The sale is intended to be conducted via "公簿売買" (official register sale). The water heater and other equipment have not been used for some time, so their functionality is unknown. There is deterioration of the tatami mats and fusuma sliding doors. The property is located in an area designated with a vertical snow load of 100 cm according to local building regulations. Additionally, the number of underfloor ventilation openings is insufficient.
The house features shutters on the inside of the entrance, back entrance, and rear sliding doors, which provide a measure of security. Utilities include public water supply, propane gas, and a septic system. Parking is available for two vehicles. The property is currently vacant.
The Kamishizu region of Ogaki is characterized by its satoyama landscape, surrounded by mountains approximately 800 meters high, offering a green and tranquil environment. Historically, Ogaki has prospered as a central city in western Gifu, known as a "water city" for its abundant, high-quality groundwater and numerous natural springs. An interesting local landmark is the historic site of the Battle of Sekigahara, one of the most significant battles in Japanese history, located approximately a 19-minute drive from the property.
