Traditional Japanese Single-Story Home with Expansive Garden and Outbuildings in Koka City
This property is a pure Japanese-style single-story residence (平家建) located in the Tsuchiyama-cho Ono area of Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. The main house offers a spacious 13SLDK layout with a total floor area of approximately 561.68 square meters. The building is surrounded by a traditional Japanese garden (和風庭園) that is integrated into the design of the property.
The home features a large living, dining, and kitchen area of approximately 22 tatami mats, which benefits from large windows that provide natural light despite a northern orientation. There are multiple Japanese-style rooms (和室), including two adjoining 8-tatami rooms on the south side of the main entrance, another 8-tatami room on the north side, and an additional 8-tatami room adjacent to the LDK which includes a sunken kotatsu (掘りごたつ付き). The kitchen is designed as an open-facing layout (対面キッチン).
The bathroom is a generously sized unit bath measuring approximately 2.7 meters by 1.6 meters, featuring a bay window that overlooks the inner garden. There are two separate toilets, a spacious washroom with a double vanity, and a separate laundry room equipped with indoor drying pipes. A wide veranda (広縁) runs along the north side of the building.
In addition to the main house, the property includes a separate office space (事務所スペース) connected to the main building, and a detached garage (車庫) with two entrances—one with an opening of approximately 9.8 meters by 6.5 meters and another of approximately 6.4 meters by 6.4 meters—providing parking capacity for about six vehicles. There is also an artificial grass area next to the garage and a drying space on the west side of the lot.
The property has been renovated with a focus on addressing common risks for used homes, including a two-year warranty against roof leaks, structural defects or corrosion, and water leaks or malfunctions in the plumbing system. Termite damage inspections and preventive treatment have been carried out, with a five-year warranty on the termite control work and two free follow-up inspections included. The renovation was completed in May 2026.
The land area is approximately 1,941.11 square meters, with a building coverage ratio of 70% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The property is situated on a flat plot with road access from two sides (southeast and northeast), both public roads with a width of 4.0 meters. The current status is vacant, and the property is available for immediate occupancy. The property is located in the Tsuchiyama-cho Ono area of Koka City, approximately an 85-minute walk from Koka Station on the Kusatsu Line.
