Charming Vacation Home in a Lakeside Resort Area
This property is a detached wooden two-story house located in a vacation home area in Makino, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, near the northern shores of Lake Biwa. The total floor area is 94.86 square meters, with the main building comprising 57.19 square meters on the first floor and 37.67 square meters on the second floor. The structure features a straight roof and is currently vacant. The land size is 346 square meters.
The property offers a lifestyle surrounded by nature, with seasonal leisure opportunities. In spring, the cherry blossoms at Kaizu Osaki are nearby. Summer provides access to Makino Sunny Beach for water activities, and the city of Tsuruga is about a 40-minute drive away for swimming and fishing. Autumn brings beautiful foliage from the surrounding deciduous trees, and the Metasequoia-lined avenue is also close by. The vacation home area itself is a kunugi (oak) forest, offering pleasant autumn colors. Winter offers proximity to several ski resorts, including Hakodateyama Ski Area, Kokkyo Snow Park, Kutsuki Ski Area, Yogogahara Resort Yap, and Biwako Valley Ski Area.
The nearest train station is Omi-Nakasho Station, less than 2 kilometers away, and some visitors reportedly leave bicycles at the station to arrive by train. The roads within the resort area are public roads, not private association roads, and Takashima City provides snow removal in winter, which is reportedly rare for vacation home areas in the city. The site is on a gentle slope close to flat land, unlike many steeper resort areas. A mini log cabin on the property provides additional storage space. Access from the Kansai and Chubu regions is considered reasonable. The property relies on well water, making water bills free. Utilities are provided by Kansai Electric Power and propane gas. There is no management fee as the neighborhood association handles matters. Annual maintenance costs include a neighborhood association fee of 6,000 yen, property tax of 31,500 yen, municipal tax of 4,800 yen, and a septic tank fee of 46,970 yen. The transaction is on an as-is basis and based on the public registry.
