Historic 1930s Wooden Home in Oita's Coastal Serenity

This unique property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in the tranquil coastal area of Saiki City, Oita Prefecture. The house, built in April 1930, is a two-story wooden structure with a substantial 82.63㎡ (approximately 24.99 tsubo) of floor space, situated on a generous 236.75㎡ (approximately 71.61 tsubo) corner plot of land. The layout is exceptionally spacious, featuring eight Japanese-style rooms (washitsu) of varying sizes: 8, 6, 6, 4.5, 4.5, 7.5, 3, and 6 tatami mats, plus a 4-tatami mat kitchen (K). The property is currently vacant and ready for a new chapter.

Key features and equipment notes from the agent highlight the property's character and condition. It is a corner lot with road frontage to the south (1.2m wide, 14.5m long) and east (2m wide, 11m long). The land is classified as residential (宅地) and is located outside of urban planning zones, meaning there are no building-to-land ratio or floor area ratio restrictions. The property is subject to the National Land Use Law (国土法). The transaction is handled as a general brokerage (一般媒介). The property is noted as being eligible for rebuilding, but a building confirmation would be required. The listing also mentions that the floor plan is subject to the actual current condition of the property.
