Historic Rural Home with Farmland in Fukuoka's Yame Tea Region
This distinctive 125-year-old wooden house presents a rare opportunity for countryside living enthusiasts. Built in 1901, the two-story detached residence features a 6DK layout (six rooms plus dining-kitchen) with approximately 100.82 square meters of living space. The southeast-facing orientation provides excellent natural sunlight, making it ideal for enjoying the tranquil rural environment throughout the day.
The property sits on 912.1 square meters of land, which significantly includes 437 square meters of farmland—a substantial advantage for those interested in agricultural pursuits or traditional Japanese farming practices. Road access is provided via a 4.4-meter-wide frontage on a public, paved road, ensuring convenient vehicle access. The property includes dedicated parking facilities.
Utilities and infrastructure include propane gas, electricity, and a septic tank system. An important consideration: the property contains unregistered building extensions that are scheduled for official registration with the building authority. These extensions are undergoing the building title change registration process, which should be confirmed with local government during your due diligence period.
