Spacious Rural Property with Historic Charm in Saitama
This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of land with a historic dwelling in Saitama Prefecture. The main building, constructed in May 1916, is a wooden structure with a total floor area of approximately 173.54 square meters (about 52.49 tsubo). The layout is a spacious 5DK, providing ample room for various living arrangements or potential projects. The true highlight is the expansive land, covering 2261.69 square meters (approximately 684.16 tsubo), offering immense potential for gardening, farming, or future development.
The property is designated as an 'akiya' (vacant house) and is registered with the local Akiya Bank program, indicating it is part of a municipal initiative to revitalize vacant properties. It is situated within a City Planning Area designated as an 'Adjustment Area' (市街化調整区域), and the land use zone is 'Unspecified' (無指定). The site is flat, classified as residential land (宅地), and has a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. Parking is available. The property rights are full ownership (所有権). The energy consumption performance and insulation standards are noted, and the current status is vacant.
The property is located in the Mitsutagaya district of Hanyu City, Saitama Prefecture. Hanyu City is known for its traditional 'Hanyu Kasuri' indigo-dyed textiles, a craft with a history spanning over 200 years. The area provides a peaceful, rural lifestyle while remaining accessible. The closest major landmark is the historic Kawagoe City, often called 'Little Edo' for its beautifully preserved warehouse-style buildings from the Edo period, located within a reasonable drive and offering a fascinating glimpse into Japan's past.
