Vintage Vacant House with Generous Land in Iwate's Serene Sumita Town
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious vacant house on a substantial plot of land in the tranquil setting of Sumita Town, Iwate Prefecture. The building is a two-story wooden structure with a cement tile roof, constructed in 1960 (Showa 35). It offers a total floor area of 227.48 square meters, situated on a large 595.32 square meter plot of land. The property is categorized as an akiya (vacant house) and is also considered a kominka (old folk house), making it suitable for restoration enthusiasts or investors.
According to the agent's notes, the property is sold in its current condition, including any remaining fixtures and land. The seller, Nexwill Corporation, will specify the judicial scrivener for the transaction. There is no rental history for the property, so no rent roll is available. The infrastructure includes public water supply, a cesspool-type sewage system, and individual propane gas, all as declared by the previous owner. A separate building is also noted on the property: House Number 52-1-1, a two-story wooden structure with a galvanized steel sheet roof, measuring 60.66 square meters.
