Affordable Fixer-Upper in a Lush Sado Island Neighborhood
This property presents a significant opportunity for a buyer seeking a project on Sado Island. Listed at a remarkably low price of 1 million yen, this two-story wooden house requires substantial repair. The interior has been cleared out, but key fixtures such as the kitchen sink, washbasin, and toilet are missing. Cracks are visible on the entrance tiles, as well as in the bathroom and on walls, indicating the need for a comprehensive renovation.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes electricity, a septic tank, propane gas, public water supply, and a garden. The home is situated in a quiet, green residential area, offering a peaceful living environment. The layout is an 8K configuration, providing multiple rooms. The building spans 202.59 square meters over two stories, set on a generous 210.10 square meter corner plot. Additional features include parking for two or more cars, a south-facing orientation, city gas, a system kitchen, two toilets, a bath with reheat function, a monitor-equipped intercom, and suitability for multi-generational living.
The location in Sado City's Kasuga district offers convenient access to daily amenities. The agent's remarks note proximity to a supermarket (0.4km), a bus stop (0.2km), a kindergarten (0.5km), elementary and junior high schools, city hall (1.7km), a post office (1.0km), and a general hospital (10.9km). The property is 1.4km from Ryotsu Port, a major gateway to the island. Sado Island is rich in history and natural beauty, famously known as a place of exile for intellectuals and political figures during the Edo period. A major nearby landmark is the Sado Kinzan Gold Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage site that offers a fascinating glimpse into Japan's gold mining history.
