A Traditional Japanese Home with Outbuildings and Land in Misaki Town
This property, listed with the Misaki Town Akiya Bank, is a two-story wooden house built in January 1925, making it a century-old home rich in character. Located in a quiet, south-facing residential area of Misaki Town, Okayama Prefecture, the residence offers a 6DK layout across a total floor area of 178.86 square meters. The land is a generous 1,093 square meters and includes additional features such as farmland, a longhouse (nagaya), a storehouse (kura), and a warehouse.
The home's facilities include a shower, toilet, bath, a bathroom with a window, electricity, a septic tank, propane gas, and public water supply. It features Japanese-style rooms (washitsu), with all living rooms being six tatami mats or larger, and includes storage space and a garden. Important notes from the agent specify that the bath is located separately from the main living area. The second floor has been used as storage and contains a sealed-off room (akazu-no-ma). Prospective buyers should note that a significant amount of personal belongings remain in the house and their removal, as well as some necessary repairs, will be the responsibility of the new user. The presence of adjacent woodland also requires verification.
The property is situated in the Uana Nishi area of Misaki Town, within Okayama Prefecture. The region is part of the scenic Kibi Plain, known for its ancient Kibi Kingdom history and cycling route that passes by numerous keyhole-shaped burial mounds (kofun). The closest major landmark is the historic Okayama Korakuen Garden, one of Japan's Three Great Gardens, located approximately an hour's drive away, offering a stunning example of traditional landscape design.
