Special notes from the agent highlight key features and conditions. The property includes a parking space for one car, though there are vehicle type restrictions.

The property is sold as-is, with the current condition taking priority over floor plans. In addition to the main house, the sale includes an outbuilding storage shed (46.56 sqm) and a forested mountain plot (181 sqm). Running costs include an annual fixed asset tax of 27,900 yen.
