Rural Retreat with Expansive Land in Yamaguchi City
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. The house requires major renovation in multiple areas, including the building's electrical system, making it ideal for a hands-on restoration.
Key equipment and facilities include a garage, garden, and storage shed. Notably, the sale includes adjacent rice fields, farmland, and forested mountains that are available for purchase. 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.
The property is equipped with propane gas, well water, and an electric bath heating system. The toilet is a simplified flush type, with an additional outdoor toilet also present. Parking is available for three vehicles. The location provides essential access within a 3-4 kilometer radius, including the Tokuchi Branch Office, a supermarket, post office, JA branch, elementary and junior high schools, and a clinic.
The area around Yamaguchi City is known for its beautiful blend of history and nature, offering a peaceful lifestyle without being isolated.
