Affordable Fixer-Upper in Susaki, Kochi
This property, listed as Susaki City / Sale Property No. 20, is a vacant house (akiya) located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Oma Nishicho in Susaki City, Kochi Prefecture. Priced at a highly accessible 1.5 million yen, it presents a significant opportunity for buyers looking for a project or a second home in Shikoku. The property is a single-story wooden structure with a total floor area of 40.40 square meters, situated on a corner plot of land measuring 80.62 square meters. The layout is a 2K (two rooms plus kitchen), and the property features two parking spaces, a south-facing orientation, city gas, a system kitchen, two toilets, a reheating function for the bath, a monitor-equipped intercom, and is noted as being suitable for two-generation living.
Critical information from the agent's notes must be considered: the property's septic tank is cracked and cannot be used as-is, requiring repair or replacement. However, a significant advantage is that the public sewer line runs nearby, which could simplify and reduce the cost of connecting to the municipal system. This is a key detail for any renovation plans.
The property is conveniently located within an 8-minute walk from JR Dosan Line's Oma Station, providing direct rail access to Kochi City and other parts of the region. The area around Susaki is known for its stunning natural scenery along the clear waters of the Niyodo River, which is famous for its brilliant blue color. A major landmark and tourist attraction in the broader Kochi area is the iconic Katsurahama Beach, a picturesque crescent-shaped beach known for its views, the statue of Sakamoto Ryoma, and the nearby aquarium.
