A Spacious Home with Extensive Grounds in the Tranquil Castle Town of Takanabe
This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a home surrounded by nature while enjoying convenient access to urban amenities. The residence features a 5DK layout within a two-story wooden structure built in July 1960, providing a total floor area of 152.97㎡. The true highlight is the expansive 11,065.52㎡ plot, which includes not only a large garden enveloped by mixed woodland but also a substantial 9,841㎡ forest area. This private woodland and garden create a perfect setting for hobbies like home vegetable gardening, gardening, and outdoor activities.
As detailed in the agent's special notes, the property boasts a serene living environment steeped in history and culture. It is adjacent to the Takanabe Town Designated Tangible Cultural Property, the "Kuromizu Family Residence," allowing residents to live in a quiet area while feeling the ambiance of a historic castle town. Despite this tranquility, the property is also close to the city center, ensuring excellent daily convenience. Furthermore, the location offers excellent access to the coast, with the sea just a 9-minute drive away. The nearby Koguchi Kaihin Park (Koguchi Seaside Park) makes it easy to enjoy seaside walks, picnics, and a resort-like lifestyle on weekends.
The property includes a main house with two Japanese-style rooms and three Western-style rooms, a dining kitchen, and two toilets. Additionally, there is a separate annex with one Japanese-style room and a toilet, plus two storage sheds (note that a portion of the main house, the annex, and the sheds are unregistered). Utilities include public water, propane gas, and a septic tank drainage system. Amenities feature air conditioning for heating and cooling, a dedicated bath, toilet, and kitchen, a laundry area, a garden, and parking space for one car. It is important to note that a certain scale of repair is required (this does not guarantee the building's condition), and the property will be transferred in its current state.
The area of Takanabe Town in Miyazaki Prefecture is known for its rich natural setting, bordered by rivers and the Hyuga-nada Sea. Interestingly, despite being the smallest town by area in Miyazaki Prefecture, it hosts a concentration of key prefectural institutions, making it a very comfortable place to live. The town is also known as a local surfing destination. For those interested in coastal and cultural attractions, the historic Aoshima Shrine, with its iconic "Devil's Washboard" tidal formations, is a major tourist draw within a reasonable drive.
