Essential utilities are in place, including electricity, a septic tank system, propane gas, and public water supply. The home requires significant sorting of personal belongings left by the previous owner and substantial repairs, with all costs to be borne by the buyer.

Additionally, the land includes separate outbuildings, a barn, and encompasses farmland, mountain forest, and natural water features, offering a self-sufficient lifestyle.
Located in the Ōhaga Nishi area of Misaki Town, the property sits at a high elevation, commanding views of the surrounding mountains and the iconic terraced rice fields (tanada) that the region is known for. The area offers a tranquil, quiet residential atmosphere on a south-facing corner plot. An interesting local fact is that the preserved terraced landscapes are not only beautiful but also represent centuries-old agricultural techniques that shape the local culture and environment. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic town of Kurashiki, approximately an hour's drive away, famous for its beautifully preserved Edo-period canal area and museums.
