Historic 1926 Timber Home on Expansive Grounds in Tottori's Scenic Countryside
This distinctive property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Japanese architectural history. Built in January 1926, this two-storey wooden house offers a generous 192.65㎡ (approximately 58.27 tsubo) of living space arranged in a 5DK layout, situated on a vast 1,520.38㎡ (approximately 459.91 tsubo) plot of land. The property is designated as an akiya (vacant house) and is sold in its current condition, including any remaining fixtures.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The exact build year is uncertain. The property is being sold 'as-is' (現況有姿), which includes any residual items left on the premises. The land boundaries are not explicitly marked (境界非明示). The seller will specify the judicial scrivener (司法書士) for the transaction. Importantly, there are areas where roof leaks are present (雨漏り箇所こざいます). The building coverage ratio is 70% with a floor area ratio of 400%.
The location in Kotoura-cho, Tohaku District, Tottori Prefecture, offers a tranquil rural lifestyle. The area is part of the non-city planning area (非線引区域) with no specific land use zoning (用途地域無指定). The nearest major rail connection is the Sanin Main Line's Urasue Station, approximately a 30-minute walk away. The region is renowned for its natural beauty and proximity to the iconic Daisen volcano, a major national park and one of Japan's most sacred mountains, offering spectacular hiking and seasonal scenery just a short drive away.
