Free Kominka and Farmland in Tosashimizu, Kochi Prefecture
This property offers a traditional wooden house and farmland in Tosashimizu City, Kochi Prefecture, available at no cost. The land has been passed down through generations and was last inhabited by the owner's grandparents until 1995. After that, it was lent to a neighbor until January 2007, and has since remained vacant. The owner, now living far away, finds it difficult to maintain the property and has decided to transfer it to someone who can utilize it.
The building is a single-story wooden structure with a floor area of 23.59 tsubo (approximately 77.98 square meters). The land includes a residential plot of 101 tsubo (333.88 square meters) and a former field of 54.45 tsubo (180 square meters). The property is in a state of significant disrepair, with the roof over the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet having collapsed. A beam in the eastern room has also fallen. Renovation appears challenging. The property is being sold as-is, based on the official registry.
The field has been certified as non-agricultural land since September 2019, meaning no farming qualifications are required. The land category has been changed to wilderness. Persimmon trees (both astringent and sweet varieties), konatsu citrus, and shiba grass are planted on the land.
Utilities include propane gas. The toilet is a pit latrine. There is parking space for approximately five cars. The property is eligible for rebuilding. Annual fixed asset tax is 4,010 yen.
Located in Kainokawa, Tosashimizu City, the area is sunny and offers a peaceful rural environment. Public bus service is available but infrequent, making a private car essential. A convenience store-style shop is nearby, while larger commercial facilities and hospitals are about 30 minutes away by car (approximately 17 kilometers). The road from the national highway to the house is narrow in parts, but standard cars can pass. The owner sprays herbicide on the land periodically, about once every three months.
