Charming Waterfront Property in Sakaiminato, Tottori
This compact, single-story wooden house offers an excellent opportunity in Sakaiminato, a picturesque coastal city in Tottori Prefecture. Built in April 1959, the property features a practical 3-room layout with 52.25 square meters of living space situated on a generous 211.57 square meter lot. Priced at 1.5 million yen, this affordably-positioned home can serve as either a primary residence or a sound investment property.
The property comes equipped with several practical amenities. The bathroom features a heated drying and dehumidifying system, ensuring efficient management of moisture and laundry in the humid climate. The kitchen includes a service entrance with a dedicated washing machine hookup, ideal for outdoor laundry tasks. Underfloor storage in the Western-style room provides additional space for seasonal items or valuables. Air conditioning is installed throughout, and there is one free parking space available.
The layout features a Japanese-style tatami room on the south side with excellent natural light and a separate Western-style room. Both areas benefit from the south-facing orientation of the property. The home includes a convenient shed on the grounds, providing functional outdoor storage for tools and equipment. The south-facing garden receives exceptional sunlight, making it well-suited for vegetable gardening and seasonal planting.
An important consideration: the house is currently unregistered with the land registry. Transfer of ownership will occur following completion of registration, with all registration costs borne by the seller. The building area of 52.25 square meters is an estimate due to the unregistered status. The construction date is based on land acquisition records as the original construction date is not documented.
The property has demonstrated rental viability, with a lease history extending through March 2025. Located near the sea with excellent access to fishing opportunities, Sakaiminato is renowned throughout Japan as a premier seafood destination. The city's proximity to Tottori Sand Dunes, one of Japan's most iconic natural attractions, makes this location appealing for both living and tourism-related ventures. The nearest train station is approximately 22 minutes on foot.
