Spacious Two-Story House with Attached Forest Land in Ashikita
According to the agent's notes, the property requires some renovation. Specific repair areas include the kitchen and bathroom, replacement of tatami mats, and re-painting of the walls in the fifth Japanese-style room. The main structure was built in 1970 (Showa 45), with an extension added in 1983 (Showa 58). The house has been vacant since 2021. Key equipment includes a shower bath with a kerosene boiler for heating water, a kitchen with a mixed water faucet also heated by a kerosene boiler, and a combined purification tank for sewage. Parking is available for 3 to 4 vehicles on the premises.
A major feature is the inclusion of a 2,594 square meter forested mountain area located behind (west of) the main building. It is important to note that the entire site is within a Steep Slope Warning Area (Yellow Zone), with parts designated as a Steep Slope Special Warning Area (Red Zone). For a detailed interior view, prospective buyers are directed to the Kumamoto Prefecture Akiya Bank Platform website.
The area of Ashikita is known for its stunning coastal scenery and rich citrus production. An interesting local fact is that the town's mikans (mandarin oranges) are celebrated for their exceptional sweetness. The closest major landmark is the scenic Kushima Island, accessible via a bridge and famous for its lighthouse and panoramic views of the Yatsushiro Sea.
