Spacious Former Barber Shop Residence with Commercial Potential in Nishiawakura Village
This unique property, located along a national highway near the center of Nishiawakura Village, offers a rare blend of residential comfort and commercial opportunity. Originally a barber shop with an attached residence, the building has been thoughtfully converted, with the former shop area now finished with flooring and repurposed as living space. However, its design allows for easy reversion to a shop-front property, providing flexibility for business use or multi-generational living. With eight rooms, the home is well-suited for larger families or groups.
The property includes several key facilities: a system kitchen, a separate bath and toilet, a unit bath with a window, electricity, water supply, sewerage, propane gas, and a traditional Japanese-style room. Special notes from the agent confirm that leftover items have been removed in advance, there is no cemetery within the grounds, and termite prevention treatment has been completed. It is important to note that the kerosene water heater is currently out of order, and the property will be delivered in that condition.
Nishiawakura Village is nestled in the scenic Chugoku Mountains of Okayama Prefecture, renowned for its commitment to sustainability and forest management. The area is a gateway to natural beauty, with the stunning Hattoji Valley, famous for its autumn colors and clear streams, located a short drive away. This property enjoys a convenient location within walking distance of the village library, town hall, elementary and junior high schools, kindergarten, and a clinic, with a police box situated across the street. Three parking spaces are available on-site.
