Seaside Akiya with Renovation Potential in Iwami, Tottori
This property is a vacant house (akiya) located in the coastal town of Iwami, Tottori Prefecture. The house is a 5DK layout with four Japanese-style rooms (washitsu) of varying sizes (4.5, 6, 6, 4.5, and 6 tatami mats) and a separate dining-kitchen area. The building is a two-story wooden structure built in June 1975, with a total floor area of 102.46 sqm. The land area is a generous 184.59 sqm. The property features good sunlight exposure and has a flower bed at the front entrance.
According to the agent's notes, the property is close to the sea, specifically about 400 meters (a 5-minute walk) from Uradome Coast Beach. The sale is for the property in its current 'as-is' condition, and the price is negotiable. The agent notes that renovation work is likely required in several areas, including the water heater, kitchen and other water-related fixtures, the kitchen floorboards (which have warping), and the tatami mats which need replacing. Exterior areas like the eaves and outer walls also need attention. Furthermore, the water and gas meters have been removed, so the buyer will need to cover the costs for purchase, installation, and reconnection fees.
The property is situated in a non-designated urban planning area with a building-to-land ratio of 70% and a floor area ratio of 400%. Access is from a 2.6m wide public road to the southeast, but as it is classified as a '2-ko road', a 1.54 sqm setback is required for any future rebuilding.
The area of Iwami is renowned for its stunning coastline, part of the San'in Kaigan Geopark, a UNESCO Global Geopark. The Uradome Coast, just a short stroll from this property, is famous for its unique rock formations, clear blue waters, and scenic walking trails. It's a popular spot for swimming, kayaking, and enjoying spectacular seaside views, making it a significant tourist attraction for the region.
