Affordable Fixer-Upper in Oshu City with Significant Potential and Restrictions
This property is a 5K layout detached house for sale in the Mizusawa area of Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture. Built in January 1965, this 61-year-old home spans a total floor area of 106.63 square meters on a generous 588.00 square meter plot of land. The location offers convenience for daily life, with supermarkets and hospitals nearby, and is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood. The property is priced at a remarkably low 500,000 JPY, reflecting its need for renovation.
As translated from the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes separate bathroom and toilet rooms, electricity, propane gas, and other water supply. Critical special notes must be considered: the cost for a definitive land survey is the buyer's responsibility. Rebuilding or extensions/alterations that require a confirmation application are not permitted. Furthermore, as the site is within an area containing buried cultural properties (an archaeological site), prior notification is required if any excavation of the land is planned. The property contains furniture and household goods but will be transferred 'as-is'. The features section was marked as not applicable.
The property shows age-appropriate deterioration, with wear and tear on the exterior walls and bathroom, necessitating repairs. Notably, while there is a toilet in a separate storage building from the main house, it is currently unusable, and a temporary toilet has been installed. There are no functional guarantees for the plumbing or electrical systems. The property includes parking for two or more vehicles and faces south.
The area of Oshu City is rich in history, being part of the former Mutsu Province. A major nearby landmark is the UNESCO World Heritage Site Hiraizumi, famed for its stunning temples and gardens representing the Buddhist Pure Land, located just a short drive away and offering a profound cultural experience.
