A Spacious Kominka with Attached Farmland in Yurihonjo, Akita
This distinctive property offers a rare opportunity to own a large, traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) with an expansive plot of land and attached agricultural field. The house itself is a two-story wooden structure built in 1981 (Showa 56), featuring a remarkably spacious 7LDK layout across a total floor area of 171.49 square meters. The land parcel is a generous 664.70 square meters, providing ample outdoor space. A unique and charming feature noted by the agent is a 'hidden staircase' that adds a playful touch to the home's character.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for potential buyers. The property comes with an adjacent agricultural field (area: 223 square meters, land category: field). It is important to note that upon purchase, an application for permission under Article 3 of the Agricultural Land Act is required. Furthermore, the second floor of the house is unregistered, so registration procedures will be necessary at the time of the sales contract.
The home is ready for connection to utilities, with water available for immediate use, though procedures are required for electricity and gas. The kitchen is equipped for gas, and the house features an oil-fired bath and a flush toilet. Parking is available on-site.
Located in the Nishime area of Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture, this property is ideal for those seeking a countryside lifestyle with room for a large family, hobbies, and even home farming on the attached field. The area is part of Akita's beautiful rural landscape, known for its serene environment and traditional charm. A notable regional attraction is the stunning Lake Tazawa, Japan's deepest lake, located approximately an hour's drive away, offering year-round scenic beauty and recreational activities.
