Charming Single-Story 2DK House in Ibaraki's Miho Village
This property is a single-story (平屋) 2DK layout, offering a practical and comfortable living space. The bathroom and toilet are separate, and there is a designated indoor space for a washing machine. The rooms are distinct and separated, making the layout easy to use. Please note that utility connection fees will apply.
According to the agent's notes, the property has several key features and important considerations. The equipment includes propane gas and a septic tank (jōkasō). A special note is that the house benefits from 2-sided natural light. The property is sold in its current 'as-is' condition (現状有姿引渡), with a contract that includes a disclaimer of non-conformity liability. After handover, the buyer will bear separate costs. Crucially, the well water pump is currently stopped, rendering the water supply unusable. The buyer will need to re-install a water supply line. While the kitchen and washbasin use the septic tank system, the sewage and waste disposal is actually a cesspit (汲み取り式) system, meaning both the sewer and septic tank systems require re-installation. There is a noticeable tilt/slope in the rooms (the exact angle is unknown but perceptible upon entry). The estimated cost to connect to the public water and sewer lines is between 550,000 and 800,000 yen. The annual running cost includes 25,000 yen for the well pump.
The property is located in Miho Village, Ibaraki Prefecture, a peaceful area known for its connection to horse racing, as it is home to the Miho Training Center (美浦トレーニング・センター), one of Japan's two major horse racing training facilities. The area offers a serene rural lifestyle while being within reach of larger cities. A major nearby landmark is the expansive Lake Kasumigaura, Japan's second-largest lake, which is a popular spot for boating, fishing, and enjoying scenic views.
