Historic 1920s Wooden House in Okayama's Serene Countryside
This property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Japanese architectural history. Built in January 1920, this spacious wooden two-story house offers a generous 173.54 sqm (approximately 52.49 tsubo) of living space across six rooms plus a dining-kitchen (6DK) layout. It sits on a substantial plot of 410.52 sqm (approximately 124.18 tsubo) of flat land, located outside the city planning area with no specific use district designation, offering flexibility. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate handover.
Key features and equipment notes include the potential for parking. Currently, a light truck can be parked in the entrance earthen floor area, and by removing the gate structure, parking for 1-2 cars becomes possible. The property benefits from road access on two sides (excluding corner lots) from the north and east. The land is registered as residential land with full ownership rights. Please note that floor plans prioritize the current condition of the property.
The house is situated in the peaceful town of Shoo, Katsuta District, Okayama Prefecture. The area is known for its tranquil rural landscapes and traditional charm. A notable nearby landmark is the historic Okayama Korakuen Garden, one of Japan's Three Great Gardens, located approximately an hour's drive away in Okayama City. The property offers a unique chance for a restoration or renovation project in a quiet, countryside setting with deep roots in Japanese history.
