An Unprecedented Land Opportunity in Kumano, Mie Prefecture

This extraordinary property in the Kumano City district of Mie Prefecture presents a rare and massive land acquisition opportunity for a mere 1 million yen. The offering includes two dilapidated wooden houses and an astonishing 33 separate land plots totaling approximately 38,000 square meters. The first house is a single-story structure of 33.71 sqm with a cedar bark roof, while the second is a two-story building of 55.52 sqm with the same roofing. Critically, both structures are in very poor condition with almost no maintenance, essentially in a state of ruin and likely require demolition. The land portfolio is diverse, encompassing residential lots, rice paddies, farmland, and forested mountains.

The property's sheer scale and low entry price open vast possibilities for redevelopment and creative utilization. The owner notes that within the extensive grounds, there is even an area suitable for river play. The land has been left unused due to inheritance circumstances. Given the condition of the buildings, this purchase is fundamentally about securing an immense tract of land. The variety of terrain—from flat, sunny areas perfect for development to overgrown fields and bamboo groves—offers a blank canvas for ambitious projects.

The surrounding area of Kumano City is renowned for its rich natural environment. An interesting local fact is that the district is the only place in Japan where "Nachiguroishi" (Nach Black Stone) is mined, a stone historically used for Go stones and inkstones. The closest major landmark is the Shichihiro Dam, a large dam in the vicinity known as a famous spot for bass fishing. This property represents a chance to become a steward of a significant portion of this scenic region, with the potential to create a private retreat, a large-scale campground, an agricultural venture, or a combination of all three.
