Charming 130-Year-Old Farmhouse with Spacious Garden in Isa City, Kagoshima
This property is a traditional single-story farmhouse (kominka) located in Hishikari Arata, Isa City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Built approximately 130 years ago, this 4DK layout home offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of rural Japan. The property sits on a generous plot of land, providing ample space for a vegetable garden for those interested in homegrown produce. A detached storage shed is also included on the premises.
The house features a water-flush toilet and an engawa (veranda). It also has a tsuzukima (connecting room) and a traditional Goemonburo (a cast-iron bathtub heated by a wood fire). The property is equipped with propane gas and firewood for heating and cooking.
This listing is part of the Isa City Akiya Bank initiative, which aims to highlight the appeal of vacant houses. As a pre-owned home, it may not be in perfect condition like a new build. Prospective buyers are encouraged to thoroughly inspect the property and consult with the real estate agent or owner regarding details such as the presence of roof leaks, termite damage, and the status of groundwater or mountain water sources.
