Historic 1930s Wooden Home in Izumi, Kagoshima
This property is a unique piece of history, a wooden-built home constructed in January 1930, now standing for 96 years. It offers a generous 3LDK layout spread across a single-story structure with a total floor area of 86.21 square meters. The home sits on a substantial plot of land measuring 431.64 square meters, providing ample outdoor space. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate handover to a new owner.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with propane gas and a septic tank system for drainage. This setup is typical for rural and older residential areas in Japan not connected to a municipal sewer system.
Located in the Uenami area of Noda Town, Izumi City, this home is situated in a region renowned for its natural beauty and historical significance. Izumi City is famously the largest wintering ground for cranes in Japan, with thousands migrating to the area each year. The city also boasts one of Japan's largest preserved samurai residence districts, a legacy from its time as a Satsuma Domain "outpost" during the Edo period. A major landmark nearby is the Izumi Crane Migration Observatory, where visitors can observe these majestic birds in their natural habitat.
