Spacious Countryside Home with Agricultural Land in Oshu, Iwate
Critical agent notes provide essential details. The facilities include separate bath and toilet rooms, electricity, tap water, a septic tank (requiring periodic emptying), propane gas, and attached farmland. Special notes indicate that repairs are needed for the bathroom shower and toilet, and a new septic tank system must be installed (subsidies are available). The property comes with agricultural land, and purchase of only the residential portion is not permitted; procedures with the Agricultural Committee are required. Furthermore, part of the paddy field is participating in the 'Iwate Prefecture Field Improvement Project' from the 2024 fiscal year. A notable feature is that the surrounding woodland is registered under the 'Iwate Environment Forest Environmental Project' from 2003 to 2043, meaning logging is prohibited.
The property includes a main house plus separate outbuildings: a 70-tsubo (approx. 231 sqm) two-story livestock barn and an 18-tsubo (approx. 59 sqm) storage shed/garage. The grounds feature plum and persimmon trees, offering the pleasure of harvesting your own fruit. The area is part of the beautiful Isawa region, known for its sprawling rice fields and traditional countryside landscapes. An interesting local fact is that Oshu City is home to the Chuson-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most significant Buddhist temples in the Tohoku region, showcasing stunning gold-leafed Konjikido (Golden Hall). The closest major landmark is the historic Hiraizumi area, a UNESCO site featuring several temples and gardens, located a short drive away.
