Charming Family Home with Japanese Garden in Gero, Gifu
This property is a cherished family home located in Gero City, Gifu Prefecture. It was originally the home of the seller's grandmother and was diligently maintained by their father, who traveled frequently from Aichi Prefecture to care for it. Following the father's passing, the family has been managing the property collectively, visiting periodically for ventilation and weeding. The property is being offered to someone who will cherish and live in it with care.
The property sits on a plot of 489.63 square meters across four lots. The main building is a two-story wooden structure with a tiled roof, built around 1968. The first floor is 92.06 square meters, the second floor is 52.12 square meters, and there is a storage shed of 6.62 square meters. The house is currently vacant but is considered immediately habitable, though it does show signs of age and some minor issues.
A notable feature is the garden, which, while currently somewhat overgrown, has the potential to become a beautiful Japanese-style garden with professional landscaping. The property is situated on a hill, offering pleasant views from the second floor. The location offers convenience, with a convenience store a 3-minute walk away, a pharmacy a 3-minute drive, and a supermarket a 5-minute drive. Gero Onsen's hot spring town is about a 15-minute walk, making for a pleasant stroll. The property also has ample parking space.
A key disadvantage is that based on available documents, the property does not appear to front a road that meets building standards, meaning it is currently considered not rebuildable in its present state. The sale is as-is and based on the official registry.
