Historic 1923 Timber Home in Kihoku Town with Sea Views

This property, listed as No. 261 "Funatsu no Ie," is a traditional Japanese timber house built in March 1923, offering over a century of history and character. Located in a quiet, south-facing residential area of Kihoku Town, Mie Prefecture, the home features a spacious 6DK layout across a total floor area of 106.92 square meters. The property sits on a generous 209.48 square meter plot of flat land, providing ample outdoor space and potential.

According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with electricity, a public water supply, a cesspit (汲取), and propane gas. Special remarks indicate the property's elevation is 5.7 meters above sea level. It is noted that the registered area figures are provided, but the current condition takes precedence. The home includes loft storage above the entrance. Important points for buyers include the need to replace the electric water heater and that the propane gas is used only for the stove, with hot water supplied by electricity.

A key feature is that this is a registered property on the Kihoku Town Akiya Bank, highlighting it as a vacant house ready for new ownership and renovation. The flat land (平坦地) is another significant advantage.

The area of Kihoku Town in Mie Prefecture is known for its stunning coastal scenery along the Kumano Sea. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kumano Kodō is a network of ancient pilgrimage routes registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site, connecting various sacred sites. The closest major landmark is the revered Kumano Nachi Taisha, one of the three grand shrines of Kumano, famous for its iconic Nachi Falls, located approximately an hour's drive south.
