Traditional House with Large Land in Kakuda City, Miyagi Prefecture
This property offers a traditional Japanese house (kominka) situated on a large plot of approximately 317 square meters in Kakuda City, Miyagi Prefecture. The land is over 100 tsubo and enjoys good sunlight. The existing wooden structure, with a tin roof, spans two stories and has a total floor area of 78.76 square meters. The property is being sold as-is, including the existing building.
The first floor features two 8-tatami Japanese-style rooms, another two 8-tatami Japanese-style rooms, and an additional 8-tatami room equipped with a sunken kotatsu (horikotatsu). The house also includes a traditional engawa (veranda). The second floor consists of one 8-tatami Japanese-style room. The property is currently vacant.
The seller notes that the house is regularly aired out and the grass is cut. They express a desire to hand over the property in a clean condition, having done what they can themselves. The property is ideal for those wishing to live quietly while renovating or remodeling, taking advantage of the traditional house's good points such as thick pillars and construction without nails. It also has potential for use as a private lodging (minpaku), a hideaway-style shop (such as a soba restaurant or other eatery), or for starting a home vegetable garden.
The adjacent field includes fig, kiwi, and persimmon trees, which bear fruit annually and are available for the new owner's use. The seller mentions that the price is somewhat negotiable. National subsidies for insulation and window renovation may also be available.
The property is located in Takakura, Kakuda City. A convenience store, ramen shop, local produce market, and elementary school are approximately a 5-minute drive away. A wider range of amenities including supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, city hall, Kakuda Station, banks, restaurants, mobile phone shops, gas stations, schools, a library, and a coin laundry are within a 10 to 15-minute drive. Nearby roads feature a cherry blossom-lined street (Takakura Seiryu Sakura Namiki), which is beautiful in spring.
