Sturdy Carpenter-Built Home with Vacant Land in Imabari, Ehime
This property features a robust wooden two-storey house originally built in 1976 by a master carpenter for his second son. The building offers a total floor area of 90.57 square meters and sits on a generous 263 square meter plot of land. Approximately half of the land is vacant, providing ample space for various uses. The exterior paint was renewed four years ago.
The property was previously rented out until two years ago, and the interior has been cleaned following the tenant's departure. The current owner, who runs an abacus school in Matsuyama City about 50 kilometers away, finds the weed management on the vacant portion of the land challenging due to advancing age. This has prompted the decision to sell the now-vacant property.
The house is located in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, set back about 200 meters from the prefectural road "Sakuraidani Miyagasaki Line." The approach road is unpaved gravel with a width of less than 4 meters. The area is classified as a urbanization control area. Any future new construction would require permission from the agricultural committee for land use conversion and compliance with building standards, including setting back the building to ensure a 4-meter road width. Boundary confirmation has not been formally established.
The current owner recommends considering renovation, particularly of the water-related areas, for immediate reuse of the property. The vacant land can be utilized as a pet exercise area or a vegetable garden, as the previous tenant kept large and medium-sized dogs. Shopping requires traveling approximately one kilometer to a supermarket or convenience store. Nearby popular restaurants include the udon shop "Yamabiko" and the Italian restaurant "Umakoshi." The property is located a short distance from the center of Imabari, but construction of the Imabari Interchange in the nearby Shintani area is expected to improve access upon completion.
