Affordable Single-Story Home with Land in Himeji's Okuyama Area
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached house with a generous plot of land in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, for the remarkably low price of 1 million yen. The home, built in May 1977, is a 2DK layout with a total floor area of 50.87 square meters, situated on a 163.12 square meter land parcel. The property is currently vacant and ready for viewing.
Key equipment and features of the house include a system kitchen, a counter kitchen, an IH cooktop, a gas cooktop, a bath with reheating function, a bath dryer, a washbasin with a shower attachment, a bidet toilet seat, a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped door phone, and underfloor heating. The property is described as being all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and comes with a parking space. Other utilities include public water supply, propane gas, sewer, a private bath, a private toilet, and an independent washroom.
Important special notes from the agent reveal several critical details. The listed total floor area is the combined area of the main house and a separate outbuilding. The property is unregistered. There is evidence of termite damage and water leakage stains. The transaction will be 'as-is'. Crucially, as the building was constructed before zoning regulations were applied, it is eligible for reconstruction. The owner also holds a share in a pump room on the west side of the property. The estimated fixed asset tax for fiscal year 2025 is 8,248 yen for the land and building combined. The agent encourages consultation on financing plans and pre-approvals.
The location in the Okuyama district offers a quiet residential setting. Access is via the JR Sanyo Main Line to Himeji Station, followed by a 26-minute bus ride and a 14-minute walk from the Okuyamaguchi (Himeji City) bus stop. Daily necessities are within a 15-minute walk, with a supermarket approximately 1,146 meters away. The area is steeped in history, being part of the greater Himeji region, which is home to the magnificent Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most iconic and pristine surviving feudal castles, easily accessible from the city center.
