Historic Property Along the Shimanami Kaido Cycling Route
This property, located in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, is a two-story wooden structure originally built in 1932 (Showa 7). The building features a substantial gate and was previously used as a corporate office and residence. It has been vacant for the past three years. While not strictly a traditional kominka, the property includes unique architectural elements such as single-board Yakushima cedar, a material that is now extremely difficult to obtain. The building is a solidly constructed wooden structure from its era.
The property is situated along the cycling route that connects to the Shimanami Kaido, placing it in a prime location for the current cycling boom. This offers a variety of potential uses, from a business site to a personal cycling base. The land comprises approximately 600 tsubo of residential land, along with miscellaneous land and forest, totaling about 10,000 square meters. The building itself is a two-story wooden structure currently vacant. The asking price is 12,000,000 yen (tax included). The transaction is on an as-is basis and based on the public register. Please note that due to the building's age, there are issues such as roof leaks and areas of rotting flooring. The city of Imabari and Ehime Prefecture have been conducting road construction since last year to build a new bicycle path in front of the property. The location is midway between Imabari Station and the main bridge of the Shimanami Kaido, making it potentially suitable for use as a cycling terminal.
