Spacious 6LDK Farmhouse with Cattle Barn and Vast Land in Miyagi's Nature-Rich Kurihara City
This unique property in the Ichihasama area of Kurihara City, Miyagi Prefecture, offers an extraordinary opportunity for those dreaming of a rural lifestyle, agriculture, or dairy farming. The property includes a substantial 6LDK house, a cattle barn, a fertilizer shed, a warehouse, and agricultural land, all on a plot of approximately 1,138 square meters for just 1 million yen.
The house itself is a single-story wooden structure built around 68 years ago. The seller notes that while the building is aged, the foundation and framework appear solid to the amateur eye, suggesting it has potential for renovation. The layout features five 8-tatami Japanese-style rooms and one 4.5-tatami room, plus an LDK (living-dining-kitchen) area and wet areas. The property comes with ample storage closets and some furniture will be transferred to the new owner. A charming feature is the antique-style sliding entrance door. However, some rooms have warping, indicating renovation work will be necessary.
Key equipment and features translated from the agent notes include: The toilet is a Japanese-style, pit latrine. There is a water supply, but the sewer system is not connected, so construction work will be required. Electricity is connected (50A). Telephone lines and optical fiber cables can be installed. Gas is propane, and the bath runs on kerosene. The property is sold 'as-is' (現況有姿). Notably, the property includes a cattle barn and a fertilizer shed, remnants of the seller's family who operated a dairy farm here. The land also includes agricultural fields.
The area is surrounded by rich nature and fresh air. An interesting local fact is that the property is relatively close to the Naruko Onsenkyo (Naruko Hot Spring Village), a collection of five hot spring areas, offering a high level of relaxation and therapeutic benefits. The closest major tourist attraction is the Naruko Onsen Village itself, a famous hot spring destination known for its historic baths and autumn foliage.
This property is steeped in history, originally cleared and settled by the seller's grandfather shortly after WWII. The family's hope is for a new owner to breathe fresh life into this land filled with memories. With its vast size, outbuildings, and agricultural potential, this is a rare find for anyone seeking a large-scale project in the Japanese countryside.
