According to the agent's detailed notes, the property is equipped with public water supply, propane gas, a sewer drainage system, and a dedicated laundry area. Indoor amenities include air conditioning for cooling and heating, a dedicated bath with a reheating function, a dedicated Western-style flush toilet, and a three-burner stove. The home also features a balcony, a garden, and parking space for up to five vehicles. The current status is vacant, and handover conditions are negotiable.
A critical note is that the purchase includes an additional 1,315.39㎡ of adjacent land to the west of the residential plot. This land comprises agricultural fields, mixed-use land, and wilderness. The buyer must obtain permission under Article 3 of the Agricultural Land Law for the agricultural portion. Approximately 100㎡ is suitable for a home vegetable garden, with the remainder being an extension of the residential land and sloped valley terrain.
The location is highly accessible, just a 6-minute walk from JR Shinonoi Line's Obasute Station and a 5-minute drive from the Obasute Smart Interchange. The area is famously part of the "Obasute" region, renowned as one of Japan's "Three Great Train Window Views." Chikuma City, nestled in the foothills and bisected by the Chikuma River, offers a blend of rural charm and urban convenience with easy access to supermarkets, home centers, and medical facilities. An interesting local fact is that the Obasute area's terraced rice fields, a stunning seasonal attraction, are said to be where the moon appears most beautifully in Japan. The closest major landmark is the historic and scenic Obasute Station area itself, famed for its panoramic vistas.
