Spacious Single-Story Home in the Historic Heart of Oe Town
This property is a generously sized single-story house located in the prime area of Aterazawa, at the center of a nostalgic streetscape that evokes a sense of history. According to the agent's special notes, the location offers excellent convenience: JR Aterazawa Station, large drugstores, a post office, a kindergarten, and an elementary school are all within walking distance. The home itself is a luxuriously built single-story structure featuring four spacious eight-tatami mat rooms.
The property is a 125.87㎡ wooden house built in January 1992, situated on a 505.25㎡ plot of land. It features a 4K layout and is essentially move-in ready, requiring almost no renovation. A home garden is included, perfect for growing your own vegetables. The house is equipped with public water, town gas (propane), a sewer drainage system, a laundry area, a private indoor garden, and dedicated parking spaces for cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. The current status is vacant, and the handover timing is open for consultation.
Oe Town is situated almost in the center of Yamagata Prefecture, blessed with rich nature and famous for fruits like cherries, plums, and apples. The Aterazawa area flourished as a port town during the Mogami River boat transport era, and its streets retain a retro atmosphere that hints at its former bustle. The area is designated as a National Cultural Landscape. While offering a relaxed lifestyle, it provides reasonable access to urban centers: about 20 minutes by car or train to Sagae City and about 45 minutes to central Yamagata City. An interesting local fact is that the town actively supports new farmers and has a strong community of fellow migrants, making it welcoming for those looking to start an agricultural life. The closest major landmark is the scenic Mogami River, historically vital for transport and now a popular spot for river cruises through beautiful gorges.
