Spacious Traditional Japanese Home with Warehouse in Koka City
This property presents a rare opportunity to own a large, traditional Japanese house with a substantial steel-frame warehouse on an expansive plot of land in Shiga Prefecture. The residence offers a generous 10SDK layout, providing ample space for multi-generational living or flexible use. Built in January 1965, the home is situated on a south-facing corner lot in a quiet residential neighborhood with no buildings obstructing the view, ensuring excellent sunlight and privacy.
According to the agent's notes, the total floor area of 315.14 square meters is the taxable area and includes the 115-square-meter steel warehouse. It is important to note that this is an unregistered property, so costs will be required for its official registration and for the conversion of agricultural land. Additionally, the seller is willing to include a leveled paddy field (1,382 sqm) and mountain forest land (4,323 sqm) at no extra charge, significantly expanding the potential of this holding.
The property boasts a prime location within a 10-minute walk to a comprehensive supermarket and within 2 km of JR Konan Station on the Kusatsu Line, offering convenient access to daily necessities and regional transport. The home features desirable amenities including city gas, a system kitchen, two toilets, a reheating function for the bath, a monitor-equipped intercom, and parking for two or more vehicles.
The area around Koka City is steeped in history, famously known as one of the birthplaces of the ninja. For a fascinating day trip, the iconic Hikone Castle, a designated National Treasure with its original keep overlooking Lake Biwa, is approximately a 30-minute drive away, offering a glimpse into Japan's feudal past.
