Spacious 7DK Traditional Home Near the Sea on Sado Island
This property is a traditional two-story wooden house located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Kawasaki, Sado City, Niigata Prefecture. Built in January 1969, this 57-year-old home offers a generous 181.43 square meters of living space across a 7DK layout, providing ample room for a large family or multi-generational living. The property sits on a sizable 402.21 square meter corner plot, which includes a garden and agricultural land at the rear of the site.
The home's equipment and facilities include a separate bath and toilet (B/T), two toilet locations, electricity, a septic tank, propane gas, public water supply, and a garden. A notable feature is the presence of an unregistered building at the back of the property and an attached storage shed (a two-story wooden structure with tiled roofing). It is important to note that the equipment inside the building may have experienced natural wear and tear, deterioration, and aging changes due to the number of years it has been left unoccupied. Some repair work is likely necessary.
Special notes regarding the vicinity indicate its proximity to essential services: the post office is 0.3km away, a bus stop is 0.4km, an elementary school is 1.2km, a kindergarten is 3.0km, Sado City Hall is 5.0km, Sado General Hospital is 6.0km, a junior high school is 6.5km, and a supermarket is 7.2km. The property's key highlight is that it is close to the sea. Other desirable points include parking for two or more cars, a south-facing orientation, a system kitchen, a reheating function for the bath, suitability for two-generation households, and a monitor-equipped intercom.
Sado Island is rich in history and natural beauty, famously known as a place of exile for political dissidents during the Edo period, including the scholar Sugawara no Michizane and the founder of Noh drama, Zeami. The island is also a critical sanctuary for the endangered Japanese crested ibis. A major landmark near this property is the historic Sado Kinzan Gold Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage site candidate, which offers a fascinating glimpse into Japan's gold mining history and is a significant tourist attraction on the island.
