A Spacious Century-Old Kominka in the Rural Heart of Makinohara

This property is located in a tranquil agricultural zone in the Oyose area of Makinohara City (formerly Sagara Town), just over 4 kilometers north of the old town center and close to the Sagara Bypass Oyose Interchange. The building is a grand structure, estimated to have been built over 100 years ago. It features the high ceilings characteristic of a traditional kominka, along with thick, dignified beams and pillars that are rarely seen. The property has been partially renovated, including the water areas, and is basically in a move-in ready condition.

The flat land totals over 500 tsubo (approximately 1,754.10 sqm). Within the grounds, a spacious Japanese garden has been carefully maintained, complete with an artificial hill (tsukiyama). Adjacent to the main residence, a relatively new warehouse with wooden siding has also been constructed.

The location is convenient to the former castle town of Sagara, once ruled by Tanuma Okitsugu, as well as the Omaezaki Peninsula, where fresh seafood is readily available. This area of Suruga enjoys a warm climate, making it well-suited for retirement living in a quiet rural setting.
