A Former Farmhouse in a Sunny Rural Hamlet

This property is a former farmhouse located in a sunny rural hamlet in Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture. The site features a main house with a traditional tiled roof, a large-roofed farm equipment shed, and an old wooden livestock barn. While the main house has not been used for a long time and shows signs of deterioration in various places, it retains many period fittings, structural materials, and furnishings. Although the condition may be challenging for on-site restoration, the property offers a flat, rectangular plot of 792 tsubo (approximately 2,618.57 square meters), presenting a significant opportunity for creative reuse.

According to agent notes, the property includes electricity, public water supply, and a pit toilet. There is also a parking area. Additional notes specify that there are two more sheds and a registered kitchen area. A critical remark states: "Regarding the farmland, it is necessary to renegotiate with the city along with the buyer's intended use. Handover will occur after land category change or following Article 3 permission." The red marker on the map indicates an approximate location and is not specific.

The property is situated in the former Kitakawabe Town area, which serves as a gateway to the Watarase Retarding Basin. This unique location is the only area in Saitama Prefecture entirely on the left bank (north side) of the Tone River, characterized by expansive rice fields. It borders Gunma, Tochigi, and Ibaraki prefectures. The area is part of a serene agricultural landscape. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Watarase Retarding Basin is one of Japan's largest flood control basins, transforming into a vast, seasonal wetland that attracts many migratory birds. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Kawagoe City, known as "Little Edo" for its well-preserved kura (warehouse) buildings and a famous bell tower, located approximately 30 kilometers away.
