Traditional Farmhouse in Nagaoka, Niigata
This property is a traditional Japanese farmhouse constructed 53 years ago, located in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The home features a classic 'ta-no-ji' (character 'field') layout, a common design for farmhouses in the region. The first floor contains four Japanese-style rooms and one Western-style room, a kitchen, a toilet, and a bath. The second floor offers six additional rooms, providing generous living space. The current owner inherited the property from their father, but due to living far away, it has become vacant. The seller is looking for someone to purchase the property. Some belongings will remain, but the seller states they can be disposed of by the time of handover.
The property's most distinctive feature is the koi pond in the garden and a separate tank for wintering the fish, a remnant of the previous owner's hobby of raising koi carp. There is also a two-story work shed for agricultural tasks and a garage. This makes the property particularly suitable for anyone interested in keeping koi. The bath is currently usable, and while the gas is disconnected, the kitchen is also functional. The area experiences heavy snowfall, so winter snow removal work is essential. The seller prefers to sell the residential land, forest, farm fields, and other land together, but is open to negotiating the exclusion of the farmland. The farmland generates rental income from a tenant farmer, and the outbuildings (shed and garage) are also currently rented out, providing a small income stream.
The property includes a main house with a floor area of 133 square meters on the first floor and 89 square meters on the second floor, plus outbuildings. The total land area is 768 square meters for the residential site, with additional forest land of 13,277 square meters, farmland of 9,721 square meters, and other land of 2,419 square meters. The property is located in Oguni-machi, Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, a rural area with a convenience store within walking distance.
