A Family Home with History in Sano, Tochigi

This property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a family home in Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture. The property has been inherited but has become vacant, and the owner is now looking to sell. While the building is older, it was occupied by the owner's younger brother and his wife until one year ago, meaning it has been maintained relatively recently. The owner has been spending time after work and on holidays tending to the garden, cleaning, and sorting through belongings. The property is offered for sale in its current condition, with a preference for a buyer who will continue to use the buildings rather than demolish them. This point is negotiable, however. The property also features a well, which can provide water for daily use in the event of a water outage, though the water would need to be tested for drinking. The property includes a main wooden single-story house with a kitchen and storage shed, a separate two-story wooden building, and a two-story wooden storage shed. The land is residential, with an adjacent field that can potentially be included in the sale. The location is described as not too rural and not too urban, with reasonable access to the city center. The owner notes that the area was largely unaffected by the flooding from Typhoon 19 in 2019, suggesting a lower risk of inundation.
