Sprawling 39,000㎡ Estate with 8K House in Hyogo's Hot Spring Paradise
This extraordinary property in Shinonsen Town, Mikata District, Hyogo Prefecture, offers an unprecedented scale for the price. The core of the offer is a two-story, 8K (8-room) wooden house with a total floor area of approximately 200㎡ (111.07㎡ on the first floor, 89.25㎡ on the second). The building is 50 years old and features a traditional Japanese-style room layout. The property has been vacant for only one year. While the structure appears sound, some repairs are needed, including to the floors, tatami mats, and shoji screens. The bathroom area, noted for its charming blue and vermilion tiles, will require at least minimal renovation.
The true magnitude of this listing lies in the land. The total land area is a staggering 39,203.5㎡, comprised of 50 separate plots (筆). This includes the 258.6㎡ residential plot with the house, plus numerous other plots of farmland, rice paddies, forested mountain land, and wilderness scattered around the mountainous area of Shinonsen Town. The property comes with an additional storage shed. The ancestors of the previous owner were fishermen who also farmed this land, ensuring a life surrounded by natural bounty.
Shinonsen Town is a veritable hot spring heaven, home to five distinct hot spring areas including the historic Yumura Onsen. The town is part of the San'in Kaigan Geopark and National Park, offering rich natural scenery. A major local landmark is the stunning Hamasaka Kenmin Sun Beach, famous for its sunset views and a forest of roughly 5,000 black pine trees. During summer squid fishing season, the sight of fishing boats' lights, known as "isaribi," creates a magical scene over the sea. The property is about a 20-minute drive from JR Hamasaka Station and offers access to supermarkets and home centers for daily needs.
