Vacant House with Land and DIY Potential in Kasaoka, Okayama
This property, listed as Kasaoka City Vacant House Bank No. 611, is a substantial 5K layout wooden house situated on a large 582.05 sqm plot in a quiet residential area of Kasaoka City, Okayama Prefecture. The house itself offers 160.02 sqm of floor space and has been vacant since approximately December 2005. The sale is an 'as-is' transfer, meaning the seller's belongings remain on the premises and most equipment is not currently in usable condition, presenting a significant opportunity for renovation or redevelopment.
The property's equipment and facilities, as detailed in the agent notes, include CATV internet, a separate bath and toilet room, a toilet, a bath, separate men's and women's toilets, a public water supply, a septic tank (汲取), a Japanese-style room (和室), an engawa veranda (縁側), a field (畑), a home vegetable garden (家庭菜園), and a storage room (納戸). Key features highlight that this is a registered vacant house bank property and that adjacent buildings are spaced more than 2 meters away, offering good privacy and light. The land includes rice paddies, fields, mountain forest, and miscellaneous land types. The agent specifically recommends demolishing the existing house and utilizing the land, making this an ideal project for DIY enthusiasts or those looking to build their dream home.
The area of Kasaoka offers a blend of coastal and rural living within Okayama Prefecture. An interesting local fact is that Kasaoka is home to the Kasaoka Islands, a group of scenic islands in the Seto Inland Sea known for their natural beauty and traditional salt production. The closest major landmark and significant tourist attraction is the iconic Seto Ohashi Bridge, one of the world's longest two-tiered bridge systems, connecting Honshu to Shikoku and offering breathtaking views, located just a short drive from the city.
