A Spacious Countryside Home with Views of the Enogawa River
This distinctive property in Kitahiroshima Town, Hiroshima Prefecture, offers a unique blend of rural living and modern convenience. The house features a generous 6LDK layout across two stories, providing ample space for a large family or those seeking a project. The total building area is 160.47 sqm, situated on a substantial 767.49 sqm plot of land.
The home is equipped with propane gas, a sewer system, air conditioning, hot water supply, and separate bath and toilet areas. It includes two toilets, one with a warm-water washlet bidet, a shower, an indoor washing machine space, a system kitchen, and flooring throughout.

Special notes reveal the property's full potential. The house includes a shutter-equipped garage that can accommodate two or more cars and allows for indoor tire changes and maintenance, making it ideal for motorcycle owners. The interior has been renovated, including the kitchen, bathroom, entrance, and living/dining/kitchen areas. A separate barn (naya) contains a toilet accessible from outside with shoes on and a traditional Japanese goemon-buro (iron bathtub). Beyond the main land area, the property includes an additional 297 sqm of forested land and 152 sqm of farmland (official registry), though use of the farmland requires permission under the Agricultural Land Law. The agent suggests it could serve well as a second home or vacation property. Please note there is a legal restriction on part of the western land, which is registered as "forest" (ๅฑฑๆ).
