Spacious Family Home with Generous Gardens in Asakuchi, Okayama
This substantial property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a large, well-maintained family home on an expansive plot of land in the quiet residential area of Asakuchi City, Okayama. The house itself features a 5LDK layout, providing ample space for a large family. The living and dining area is notably spacious, and the open, two-story staircase with a void creates a sense of openness and grandeur. The second-floor hall is also a generous, open space. The Japanese-style rooms are wide and relaxing, finished with calm tatami matting, and the interior has been kept in clean condition.
Key equipment and facilities include two toilets, a water supply, sewerage system, and lighting fixtures. The property's special features, as noted by the agent, include a bath area of over 1 tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm), a quiet residential neighborhood, a distance of over 2 meters to adjacent buildings, and excellent sunlight exposure.
Special remarks highlight that the rooms are large and numerous, making it suitable for a large family. The garden area allows for gardening and light farming, making it an ideal choice for a family with children, those relocating from the city, or as a second home. The property includes a parking space that can also be used for storage, and the front road is wide enough for smooth pedestrian and vehicle traffic, contributing to the quiet living environment. The balcony offers pleasant views of the garden, perfect for relaxing in the evening.
The area of Asakuchi is part of the scenic Okayama Prefecture, known for its mild climate and historical sites. An interesting local fact is that the nearby city of Kurashiki is famous for its beautifully preserved Edo-period merchant quarter, the Bikan Historical Quarter, with its iconic white-walled warehouses and willow-lined canal. The closest major landmark from this property is the historic Okayama Castle, known as "Crow Castle" due to its black exterior, located approximately a 40-minute drive away.
