Critical agent notes provide essential details. The front entrance key is lost. The property includes auxiliary buildings such as a workshop and comes with a well. It is accompanied by agricultural land and forested mountains. There is a possibility it falls under the prefectural cliff ordinance, which is an important consideration for potential buyers.
The property's features are numerous. The walk to the station is flat, and it's situated in a green, quiet residential area close to the town center, yet with light surrounding traffic. A golf course is nearby. It has a kominka style, is on a corner lot, and offers views of mountains and rural scenery. The property boasts good ventilation and is available for immediate handover.
The area of Shibata Town in Miyagi Prefecture offers a blend of rural tranquility and accessibility. An interesting local fact is that the town is part of the Shiroishi River basin, an area known for its historical significance during the Edo period. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mount Zao, an active volcano straddling Miyagi and Yamagata prefectures, famous for its winter "snow monsters" (juhyo) and hot spring resorts.
