Charming Two-Storey Wooden House in Sado Island's Coastal Ogi District
This property presents a rare opportunity to own a traditional Japanese wooden house in the scenic coastal town of Ogi on Sado Island. The house, built in September 1976, is a 2-storey structure with a generous total floor area of 102.67 square meters set on a 63.72 square meter plot of land. It features a spacious 6DK layout, offering six rooms plus a dining-kitchen area, making it ideal for larger families or those desiring ample space. The property is offered for sale at 3,000,000 JPY and is currently vacant, ready for its next occupants.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with electricity, sewerage, propane gas, and public water supply. A special note indicates that due to the building's age of 49 years, some repair work is necessary. Specifically, there may be a need for minor repairs to plumbing such as water and sewer pipes, and the existing equipment requires operational checks. The property's key feature is its proximity to the sea. The remarks provide distances to local amenities: a general hospital is 31.4km away, the city hall is 0.1km, a kindergarten is 2.0km, elementary and junior high schools are 2.1km, a supermarket is 0.3km, a post office is 0.5km, and a bus stop is 0.5km away. The total number of units in the building is one.
The house is situated in a quiet, south-facing residential neighborhood and sits on a corner lot. Additional features include parking for two or more cars, a system kitchen, two toilets, a bath with re-heating function, a monitor-equipped intercom, and suitability for multi-generational living. While some refurbishment is needed, this represents a chance to create a personalized coastal home.
The Ogi area of Sado City is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting fact is that Sado Island was once a place of exile for prominent political and cultural figures, including Emperor Juntoku and the founder of Noh theatre, Zeami Motokiyo. The closest major landmark is the historic Sado Kinzan Gold Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage site candidate, which offers a fascinating glimpse into Japan's gold mining history and is a significant tourist attraction on the island.
