Renovated Two-Story Home in the Tranquil Nature of Hokuei Town
This two-story house, built in 1999, offers a peaceful life surrounded by nature in the quiet hamlet of Shitane, Hokuei Town, Tottori Prefecture. Having undergone a complete interior renovation in September 2025, the property presents a fresh and modern living space with a generous floor area of 164.28 square meters. The layout is a spacious 5SLDK, providing ample room for families. The construction is lightweight steel frame, and the property includes a dedicated parking space for 3 to 4 vehicles.
Key property features include public water supply, town gas, propane, sewer drainage, a laundry area, an indoor bath, and a dedicated toilet. The property is currently vacant, and pet ownership is negotiable. Important notes from the agent include: a designated evacuation shelter is 250m away (Daiei Fureai Kaikan); a hospital is 2.8km away (Kawamoto Clinic); a police box is 5.1km away (Yurashuku Residential Police Box); a kindergarten/nursery is 350m away (Sakae Hoikusho); and the town hall is 5.6km away (Hokuei Town Hall). Additional remarks indicate that while major facilities like stations and schools are somewhat distant, the property requires joining a guarantee company and fire insurance. After a tenant is decided, the tatami mats will be re-covered. Cleaning and air conditioner cleaning fees are required upon moving out, and repair or replacement costs for faulty air conditioners are the tenant's responsibility. Tenants are also responsible for replacing tatami and fusuma sliding doors upon departure. Please note that part of the land is within a sediment disaster alert zone.
The area of Hokuei Town is blessed with rich natural features including the sea, mountains, and sand dunes. The climate is relatively mild, allowing residents to enjoy the distinct four seasons.
