Spacious 8DK Detached House in Oshu, Iwate
This detached house, built in May 1998 (27 years old), offers a generous living space of 192.52 square meters on a large plot of 970.33 square meters. The property features an 8DK layout, providing ample room for a large family or multi-generational living. The surrounding area is a flat, expansive rice field region dotted with farmhouses in a dispersed settlement pattern. The roof was repainted around 2021 (Reiwa 3). One of the Japanese-style rooms requires replacement of the ceiling and tatami mats in certain areas.
Key equipment and facilities include separate bath and toilet rooms, electricity, tap water, a night soil collection system, and propane gas. Important special notes: the property is outside the public sewerage area, but there is a subsidy system available for installing a septic tank. As the land is within an area containing buried cultural properties (archaeological site), prior notification is required for any excavation on the premises. Furniture and household goods are present, but some items will be handed over 'as-is'.
The area of Oshu is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting fact is that Oshu was once part of the powerful Mutsu Province and is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hiraizumi, which features stunning temples and gardens reflecting the Pure Land Buddhist philosophy. The closest major landmark is the historic Chuson-ji Temple in Hiraizumi, a site of immense cultural and architectural significance.
