Spacious Traditional Kominka with Agricultural Land in Seiyo, Ehime
This property presents a rare opportunity to own a spacious traditional Japanese kominka-style house with significant agricultural land in the serene setting of Seiyo City, Ehime Prefecture. The house offers a generous 9K layout, providing ample room for flexible living arrangements across a total floor area of 132.23 square meters. Built in January 1916, this historic home has stood for over 110 years, showcasing classic Japanese architectural charm.
The property is registered with the local Akiya Bank and comes fully equipped with essential facilities. These include CATV, a two-burner gas stove, a bath with a window, separate male and female toilets, electricity, water supply, sewerage, propane gas, Japanese-style rooms (one of which is 8 tatami mats or larger), an engawa veranda, a garden, air conditioning, and storage space. A notable feature is the inclusion of farmland (wild field) at the rear of the house, while the plot in front is available for separate purchase.
Critical notes from the agent must be considered. The property is located within both a Steep Slope Warning Zone and a Debris Flow Warning Zone. To create an access road, a portion of the entrance farmland will need to be subdivided, a process requiring an application to the Agricultural Committee and associated costs. Furthermore, relocation work is necessary for a sewer manhole located within the farmland. All interior viewings and inquiries must be directed to the handling real estate agent.
The area around Seiyo City is part of the Shikoku Seiyo Geopark, a UNESCO-recognized area celebrated for its unique geological heritage, offering stunning landscapes and educational sites. The property is conveniently located just a 6-minute drive from JR Yosan Line's Unomachi Station, providing regional connectivity. A major regional landmark is the historic Uwajima Castle, located approximately 40 kilometers away, a well-preserved fortress offering panoramic views and a glimpse into the region's samurai past.
