A Solidly Built Folk House in Chiba's Vast Kujukuri Plain
This property is a traditional folk house located in the quiet countryside of the expansive Kujukuri Plain in Chiba Prefecture. The house, built using conventional Japanese post-and-beam construction, boasts a robust and solid structural frame, making it a worthwhile renovation project. While the tatami mats and some equipment require refurbishment, the core integrity of the building is excellent. The home offers ample room space and the added convenience of city gas supply.
The 760-tsubo (approximately 2,512 square meters) plot is sandy soil with good sunlight exposure throughout. The land is graced with mature fruit trees, including three heavily bearing Hassaku orange trees, as well as loquat and chestnut trees. Roads border the property on three sides around the Hassaku trees, providing easy access. The famous Kujukuri Beach is within walking distance. The recent completion of the Ken-O Expressway's Oamishirasato Smart Interchange has significantly improved access to both the southern Boso and northern Soso areas.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with electricity, public water supply, a flush toilet system (using a septic tank), and city gas. The land is classified as residential and farmland within a City Planning Area's Urbanization Control District, where rebuilding is permitted. The site is flat, with a paved public road approximately 3 meters wide on the east side. Important legal notes state that ownership transfer registration for the farmland portion requires permission under the Agricultural Land Law, or delivery can be made under provisional registration.
The area is part of the vast Kujukuri Plain, known for its long, sandy beaches stretching approximately 66 kilometers—a distance that historically inspired its name, which translates to "Ninety-Nine Ri Beach." The nearest major landmark is the iconic Kujukuri Beach itself, a popular destination for surfing, swimming, and scenic walks along one of Japan's longest coastlines.
