A Traditional Red-Tiled Kominka in the Tranquil Taira-Toku District of Ishigaki Island

This property presents a rare opportunity to own a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) with distinctive red clay tile roofing, situated in the popular and convenient Taira-Toku district of Ishigaki Island. The property is being sold as land with an existing old house. The agent notes provide critical details: the sale includes the land and the old building. If the buyer wishes to demolish and remove the structure, the seller will bear the demolition costs. The existing structures include an old bath facility and a storage shed. The main house is a single-story, wooden-framed building with tile roofing, but its exact year of construction is unknown. There are areas of deterioration due to age, and it is assessed that large-scale repairs or complete demolition will be necessary. A setback requirement needs confirmation, and the exact area for this is unknown. The property is currently occupied, with the owner planning to move out after a sale is finalized. The current status is owner-occupied.

The spacious 478.53 sqm plot benefits from road frontage on two sides, offering excellent potential for various building plans such as a multi-unit residential building, a duplex for two generations, or a creative renovation that preserves the character of the charming red-tiled kominka. The location in Taira-Toku is highly desirable, with supermarkets and convenience stores nearby ensuring daily living convenience within a quiet residential neighborhood.
