Rural Living Set in the Aizu Basin: Spacious Home with Garden, Field, and Warehouse
Nestled within the serene rural landscape of the Aizu Basin in Fukushima Prefecture, this property offers a complete countryside living package. Located in the Shintsuruhata area of Aizu Misato Town, the site enjoys proximity to the Tsurugamine settlement where several rivers converge. The property faces south and is surrounded by expansive farmland, offering views of distant mountains like Mount Iide and Mount Bandai. The main house, estimated to have been built around 1968 or 1969 (Showa 43-44), is a two-story wooden and earthen-walled structure with a tile and galvanized steel sheet roof. While it has been used several times a year and is ready for immediate occupancy, consideration for future maintenance and potential renovations is advised.
The property's key features include a substantial garden, a vegetable and flower field, and a separate two-story warehouse. This spacious warehouse, with an area of approximately 89.48 sqm on the first floor and 54.72 sqm on the second, presents excellent potential for use as a garage, workshop, or for storing agricultural equipment. A separate single-story garage (21.38 sqm) is also included. The land, totaling 1,410.91 sqm (426.8 tsubo), is flat and designated as residential and rice paddy land. It fronts a paved public road approximately 4 meters wide to the south and 2 meters wide to the east. Utilities include electricity, public water supply, and a simple flush (pit) toilet system. A significant note is that beneficiary charges have been paid, allowing for connection to the public sewer system with possible municipal subsidies covering up to one-third of the construction costs (maximum 270,000 yen).
The area is part of the tranquil Shintsuruhata district, known for its relaxed atmosphere and panoramic mountain vistas. It is conveniently located about 2.8 km from the Shintsuru Smart Interchange on the Ban-etsu Expressway, and within a short distance of local stations on the Tadami Line. An interesting local feature is the proximity to Shintsuru Onsen, a hot spring facility approximately 3.4 km away, perfect for relaxation. The region is steeped in history and natural beauty, with the iconic Tsuruga Castle, a reconstructed samurai fortress in nearby Aizuwakamatsu City, standing as a major historical landmark and tourist attraction from the famed Aizu domain.
