Spacious Countryside Home with Mountain Spring Water and Extensive Land in Mimasaka, Okayama

This substantial property, listed on the Mimasaka City Akiya Bank, offers a rare opportunity for large-family living or a serene countryside lifestyle. The house features a generous 9DK layout spread across 224.07 square meters of floor space, providing ample room for multiple generations. Built in May 1980, this two-story wooden structure sits on a large 582.40 square meter corner plot, ensuring excellent sunlight and privacy with no buildings directly in front and adjacent structures set back more than 2 meters.

The property is equipped with electricity, water supply, sewerage, side ditches, an engawa (veranda), and a garden. A unique and highly desirable feature is the presence of natural spring water sourced directly from the mountain, adding significant charm and practical utility to the home.

A key highlight of this listing is the potential for additional land transfer. For interested buyers, there is an option to acquire adjoining agricultural and forest land. This includes approximately 5,797 square meters of rice paddies, 3,104 square meters of fields, 22,217 square meters of mountain forest, and 253 square meters of wilderness (note that some of the farmland has reverted to wilderness). The price has recently been revised down from 7.8 million yen to a very attractive 6.8 million yen.

Located in the quiet, south-facing residential area of Nishimachi in Mimasaka City, Okayama Prefecture, the area is known for its peaceful setting. An interesting local fact is that Mimasaka is the birthplace of the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, whose name is borne by the nearest major train station, Miyamoto Musashi Station on the Chizu Express Line, approximately a 30-minute walk from the property. The region is rich in history and natural beauty, offering a truly authentic Japanese rural experience.
