A Traditional Japanese Home in Kagoshima's Countryside

This property is a spacious traditional Japanese house located in Yosei-cho, Satsumasendai City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Built in 1952, the wooden structure offers a generous 117.15㎡ of living space across a single story, featuring a 5K layout. The land itself is substantial at 648.79㎡, providing ample outdoor space including a garden. The property is accessed from a 3.5-meter wide public road to the east, with a frontage of 11 meters.

Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The property includes a garden. Access is via a one-way road to the east, 3.5 meters wide, with 11 meters of frontage on the public road. Importantly, a permit under Article 3 of the Agricultural Land Law is required for the transaction. The sale is conditional on the buyer also purchasing the seller's nearby agricultural land and forest (approximately 75,000㎡) in a single package. The property lacks a public water supply, relying solely on well water, and the toilet is a pit latrine. The house's doors and windows are wooden, and due to the building's tilt, many are difficult to open and close; even when closed, there are multiple areas with significant gaps. Two storage sheds are severely deteriorated and their demolition is recommended, with the cost to be borne by the buyer. While the charm of this old folk house is attractive, significant costs may be required to improve its performance, and some upgrades may be impossible.

The surrounding area of Satsumasendai City offers a blend of history and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that the city is home to the Satsuma Kiriko glassware tradition, a craft perfected by the Shimazu clan in the 19th century. The closest major landmark is the Sendai Nuclear Power Plant, a significant industrial facility on the coast, though the property itself is situated in a more rural setting.
