Spacious Kominka with Storehouses in Niigata's Serene Countryside
This large traditional Japanese house (kominka) with storehouses and a warehouse is located in a tranquil settlement within Niigata City's Nishikan Ward. Inherited by the seller following their parents' passing two years ago, the property has been used periodically as a vacation home and for remote work. With the estate settlement largely complete and the third-year memorial service finished, the owner is now considering a sale for future planning.
The land spans approximately 600 tsubo (2,011 sqm) across three registered plots designated as residential land. The main building is 73 years old and covers about 300 sqm. It is accompanied by separate structures including a storehouse (kura), a warehouse, and a garage. The seller visited approximately once every two months, staying for about a week each time for remote work, so all utilities—electricity, gas, water, toilet, bath, and kitchen—are fully functional and ready for use.
The interior layout is expansive. The first floor features seven rooms (15-jo, 10-jo, 10-jo, 10-jo, 8-jo, 8-jo, 6-jo), a shared space of about 9-jo, a 10-jo kitchen, and a 6-jo storage room. The second floor has two rooms (10-jo and 6-jo). The property is in livable condition, though some belongings remain from its use as a vacation home. The seller is prepared to act quickly upon a decision to sell and is willing to include appliances and furniture such as air conditioners, a refrigerator, and a dining board if desired.
The area offers convenient access to a supermarket and a market. Niigata city center is just a 30-minute drive away, and shopping is a 5-minute drive. The region is rich in tourism resources, providing easy access to diverse spots like Yahiko, Niigata City, Tsukada, Iwamuro, and Teradomari, where one can enjoy the sea, mountains, and snow. The presence of a kura and warehouse allows for storage of large items, and the parking area can comfortably accommodate five or more vehicles. The ample open space is also suitable for a home vegetable garden.
A notable point regarding registration: while the land title was registered in the seller's name upon inheritance, the building's registered owner is still the seller's great-grandfather. Although a preliminary building registration exists, a full title registration has not been completed. The process for this building registration is scheduled for completion between February and March 2025. Preliminary discussions are possible for interested buyers comfortable with this timeline. The sale is for the land with existing buildings in their current condition (現状有姿) and will be based on the registered land area (公簿売買).
