Former Cafe and Workshop Property with Expansive Land in Takahashi City
This unique commercial property, located in Takahashi City, Okayama Prefecture, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a former cafe and workshop with a substantial land area of approximately 395.45 tsubo (1,307.27 sqm). The site includes a distinctive former coffee shop with a characteristic red triangular roof, which operated until around 2019. While the interior shows signs of wear and tear from age, it retains a charming Showa-era retro atmosphere. The property also features a single-story former shop suitable for use as an atelier, workshop, or studio, as well as a separate, compact 3K residence. Please note, the residence also shows deterioration and would require renovation for comfortable living.
The property's facilities include water supply, sewerage, electricity, a private toilet, and a shared toilet. Special notes detail the road access: a 12-meter wide paved public road to the north. A key feature is the availability of free parking for three or more vehicles on the premises. The land is subdivided into approximately 310 tsubo of residential land and about 84 tsubo of adjacent wild land, perfect for creating a home vegetable garden. The former cafe's toilet is connected to the sewer system, while the residence's toilet is currently a pit latrine but can be connected to the sewer. The property is situated along a national route with views of the grand Takahashi River, about 15 minutes by car from the Kayo IC. Takahashi city center is just a 7-minute drive away, where many daily life facilities are concentrated around the city hall.
The area around Takahashi City is steeped in history and natural beauty. A notable landmark is the stunning Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, often called "Takahashi Castle," which is Japan's highest castle above sea level and offers breathtaking views, especially in the early morning mist. The property is in a location that balances rural charm with convenient access to both local amenities and the scenic wonders of Okayama Prefecture.
