Spacious Modern Home with Catwalk Feature in Oshu's Tranquil Countryside
This recently built detached house, constructed in June 2023, offers a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly new property in the serene landscape of Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture. The home features a 3LDK layout across two storeys, providing a comfortable 94.00㎡ of living space on a generous 396.83㎡ plot of land. Its location on the border between the Mizusawa and Isawa districts is surrounded by rice paddies, ensuring a peaceful and quiet environment. A unique architectural feature of this property is the inclusion of a catwalk.
Key equipment and facilities include separate bathroom and toilet rooms, electricity, tap water, a septic tank, and an all-electric home system. The property also boasts a detached 2-tsubo (approximately 6.6㎡) storage shed. Important notes from the agent must be considered: as the current owners are in residence, viewing appointments must be arranged by consultation. Furthermore, the property is located within an area containing buried cultural properties (an archaeological site), meaning prior notification is required for any excavation work on the land. It is also noted that cats are currently kept indoors.
The area around Oshu is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that Oshu was once part of the powerful Fujiwara clan's domain in the 12th century, leaving a legacy of cultural heritage. The closest major landmark is the historic Chuson-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site in nearby Hiraizumi, renowned for its stunning Konjikido (Golden Hall) and representing the pinnacle of Buddhist art from that era.
