Spacious Countryside Home with Garage and Farmland in Uto City
The house itself, built in November 1969, offers a generous 131.52 sqm of living space across two storeys. The property's key features include a south-facing orientation, a layout with three different exposures, and excellent ventilation and sunlight. The residence is equipped with hot water supply, a separate bath and toilet, a toilet, a bath, a bathroom with a window, city water and sewer systems, a Japanese-style room (washitsu) of 8 tatami mats or larger, a bicycle parking area, motorcycle parking space, a vegetable garden, storage space, and an indoor laundry area. The private garden is south-facing and exceeds 50 tsubo (approx. 165 sqm).
Significant highlights of this home are its spacious bath (over 1 tsubo), its location in a quiet, green residential area with light traffic and views of the mountains, and its pleasant rural scenery. The land consists of 308.48 sqm of residential land plus two plots of farmland totaling 661 sqm. Important notes: part of the farmland is designated as a sediment disaster warning zone (debris flow). As the front road is a private lane (里道), applications and procedures are required for any rebuilding. Viewings of the property require a prior application.
The area around Uto City in Kumamoto Prefecture is known for its relaxed pace and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that Uto City is historically linked to Kato Kiyomasa, a famous feudal lord who contributed to the construction of Kumamoto Castle. The closest major landmark is the magnificent Kumamoto Castle, one of Japan's most impressive feudal castles, located approximately a 30-minute drive away.
