Historic Farmhouse in Kawasaki Town, Miyagi Prefecture

This property is an estimated 130-year-old farmhouse kominka located in Kawasaki Town, Shibata District, Miyagi Prefecture. The current owner is seeking someone who will relocate and restore the structure. If the buyer is willing to dismantle the building and clear the land, and will cherish and actively use the old materials, the owner is prepared to transfer the property free of charge. A kominka appraisal was conducted eight years ago. The owner states this is the final listing; if no interested party comes forward by the end of this year, the property will be disposed of. The owner has previously relied on member networks to find relocation candidates, but due to advanced age, the decision has been made to proceed with disposal.

The building is a single-story wooden structure with a thatched roof. The total floor area is 183.78 square meters. The layout is 4LDK plus 2N. The land ownership is freehold. The property is located adjacent to the Kawauchi Tenjin shrine, which enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning, in the suburbs of Kawasaki Town. The nearest station is Rikuzen-Shiraiwa Station on the JR Senzan Line, approximately 23 minutes away by car. The property falls under an unzoned white area in the city planning map.
