This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of land with a traditional wooden house in the serene countryside of Yamaguchi City. The single-story structure, built in 1965, spans a generous 220.43 square meters of floor area and sits on a vast 1,171.19 square meter plot. The property is listed for sale at a negotiable price of 1.5 million yen, presenting a significant project for those seeking a rural lifestyle.

However, it is critically important to note that the transfer of rights for agricultural land is subject to restrictions under the Agricultural Land Law. Therefore, even if a purchase is desired, the sale of these agricultural plots may not be possible.

Parking is available for three vehicles.
