Spacious Single-Story Kominka with Mountain Views in Kasaoka
This property is a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) listed on the Kasaoka Akiya Bank. It is a single-story home offering numerous rooms, accompanied by agricultural land, a warehouse, and a garden. The property features a separate bath and toilet (B/T), a bathroom with a window, a public water supply, propane gas, and a garden.
Key features include its suitability for use as an office, its registration with the local vacant house bank, and pleasant mountain views. Important notes from the agent specify that all furnishings and belongings will be transferred in their current condition. There is a history of water leakage: repairs are needed for the kitchen ceiling and the storage room entrance next to the kitchen's service entrance. Repairs have already been completed for the Japanese-style room and the detached annex (though there are moisture marks from past leaks on the tatami mats). Depending on the vehicle size, parking is available for 1 to 2 cars. The property has been vacant since around 2011.
The home is situated in a quiet, south-facing residential neighborhood in the Kasaoka area of Okayama Prefecture. The region is known for its natural beauty, including the nearby Setonaikai National Park, which encompasses the scenic islands of the Seto Inland Sea. A major local landmark is the historic Kasaoka Port, which has been a vital part of the area's maritime culture for centuries.
