Free Traditional House with Barn and Farmland near Yanai Port Station
A charming two-story traditional house is available for free transfer in Yanai City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The property includes a residential building with an attached barn and multiple parcels of farmland, all being offered at no cost.
Located just 5 minutes by car from JR Sanyo Main Line's Yanai Port Station, this countryside home sits atop a gentle slope accessed by a 220-meter paved road from the coastal prefectural highway. A convenience store is within walking distance, making daily necessities easily accessible.
The property originally boasted stunning views of the Seto Inland Sea islands and Oshima Bridge until at least 2011, though growing trees now partially obstruct the vista. Being on private land, these trees could likely be trimmed to restore the views.
While requiring some renovation due to its age, the house features interesting elements like a solar water heater combined with a wood-burning system for the bath. The toilet is a traditional pit style. Basic utilities are connected, though modernization would be needed for contemporary living standards.
