This property is a charming single-story detached house located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Uchiana, Misaki Town, Okayama Prefecture. Built in September 1967, this 58-year-old home offers a traditional Japanese living experience with a total floor area of 60.11 square meters on a generous 168 square meter corner plot.

According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment and facilities include a separate bath and toilet (B/T), a toilet, a bath, a bathroom with a window, electricity, a septic tank system, propane gas, public water supply, and a Japanese-style room (washitsu). Critical special notes indicate that significant costs for belongings removal and repairs will be the responsibility of the user. The home features a traditional Japanese-style toilet with a septic tank system, and its electricity, gas, and water utilities are currently suspended. The sale price is negotiable (応相談). A key feature is that this property is registered with the Misaki Town Akiya Bank, a local initiative to match vacant houses with new residents.
The area of Misaki Town offers a serene lifestyle within Okayama Prefecture. An interesting local fact is that Okayama is famously known as the 'Land of Sunshine' due to its relatively low rainfall and abundant sunny days. The closest major landmark is the historic city of Tsuyama, accessible via the JR Tsuyama Line from Kame Station, which is just a 4-minute drive from the property. Tsuyama is home to the impressive Tsuyama Castle (Shurakuen Park), a popular tourist attraction offering beautiful cherry blossom views in spring and a glimpse into samurai history.
