Spacious 4DK Wooden House in Shiga's Scenic Highlands
This property is a detached wooden house built in December 1976, located in the peaceful area of Asahi, Shinshashi-cho, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture. The house offers a generous 4DK layout with a total floor area of approximately 84.94 square meters (about 25.69 tsubo) spread over two stories. It sits on a sizable plot of land measuring 138.4 square meters (about 41.86 tsubo), with a building-to-land ratio of 70% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The property is currently vacant and available for immediate consultation regarding the handover timing.
Key equipment and features include a parking space. Important special notes from the agent must be highlighted: The road fronting the property is not currently designated as a road under the Building Standards Act. Therefore, any rebuilding would require certification under Article 43, Paragraph 2, Item 1 of the Building Standards Act. However, it is noted that the road is scheduled to be designated as a road under the Act in the near future. The property is being sold 'as-is' (genjo yushi torihiki). Utilities on the lot include water and sewer pipes already installed, though the current status is that water is supplied from a well (groundwater) and the toilet is a pit latrine (kumitori-shiki). The seller is exempt from liability for non-conformities in the contract.
The location is highly convenient, being just a 7-minute walk from Shinshashi Station on the JR Kosei Line, providing easy access to Kyoto and beyond. The area around Takashima City is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, being part of the Biwako Quasi-National Park. An interesting local fact is that Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake, is a central feature of the region and has inspired centuries of art and poetry. The closest major landmark is the breathtaking Lake Biwa itself, offering year-round recreational activities like boating, fishing, and lakeside cycling.
