Former Tobacco Farm with Scenic Surroundings in Sukumo, Kochi
This property is a former tobacco farm located in Sukumo City, Kochi Prefecture. The owner inherited the family home in 2025 and the property is currently vacant. It was previously a two-generation household that cultivated tobacco leaves, and as such, the site still contains drying equipment and a warehouse from that era. The owner is currently visiting the property three times a week to sort, dispose of, and clean the premises.
The residence consists of an older house and an extension built in 1995 that are connected. The extended section is habitable immediately without repairs. The older section has suffered from moisture, causing the floor joists to rot; the tatami mats and wood have been removed, leaving a dirt-floor state. This area presents a DIY opportunity for anyone wishing to replace the flooring and make it usable again. The property offers ample parking for multiple vehicles.
The land area is approximately 300 tsubo, and the building area is roughly 100 tsubo. The structure is a combination of wood and steel frame (warehouse). The property is being sold in its current condition and as a public record transaction. The asking price is 7,000,000 yen. Price negotiation is possible after an in-person visit. The owner is also open to assisting with disposal or repairs within reason.
The location is peaceful, with no immediate neighbors and very little traffic passing by, as the municipal road ends here. A river flows in front of the house, and while it has flooded in the past, the property is on high ground and did not experience inundation even when the national road across the river was submerged. Cherry blossom trees line the slope at the entrance, offering a seasonal view in spring, and a persimmon tree provides fruit in autumn. An adjacent field of approximately 80 tsubo is available for vegetable cultivation, with an outdoor water tap nearby for easy irrigation.
While the area is depopulated and there is no supermarket immediately nearby, a city supermarket is a 10-minute drive away. A prefectural hospital is also available for medical needs. River shrimp can be caught in the river in front of the house. The sea is less than a 5-minute drive away, a location known for catching large squid. The famous squid fishing spot of Otsuki Town is about a 10-minute drive, and the tourist destination of Kashiwajima is approximately 15 minutes away.
