The house, built in February 1967, offers a unique living experience with its classic architectural elements.

The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate occupancy.
According to the agent's special notes, several important conditions apply. The transaction is a general intermediary arrangement. The property is sold under specific terms: the seller is exempt from liability for contract non-conformities, the exact property boundaries are not explicitly stated, the property is sold in its current 'as-is' condition, and there are numerous items left behind by previous occupants.
The house itself is a single-story wooden structure with a total floor area of 135.93 sqm (approximately 41.11 tsubo), laid out in a 3DK configuration. The rooms consist of three Japanese-style rooms of 8, 6, and 6 tatami mats respectively. The land is a generous 450.23 sqm (approx. 136.19 tsubo) and is classified as residential land. It is located outside of urban planning zones, meaning there are no specific building coverage or floor area ratio restrictions. Access is via a narrow road on the west side, approximately 2.3 meters wide, which may be challenging for vehicles larger than light automobiles.
The Shirahama area of Minamiboso is renowned for its stunning coastal scenery and is part of the Boso Peninsula, a popular getaway from Tokyo. An interesting local fact is that the coastline here is part of the Minami Boso Quasi-National Park, known for its dramatic cliffs, clear waters, and seasonal whale watching opportunities. The closest major landmark is the iconic white sand of Shirahama Beach, a famous and picturesque swimming spot that attracts visitors year-round.
