Historic 1929 Home in Unnan, Shimane: A Renovation Opportunity
This property is a detached house for sale located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Kizuki-cho Satokata, Unnan City, Shimane Prefecture. Built in September 1929, this 96-year-old wooden structure offers a significant renovation project on a 72.69 square meter plot of land with a building area of 97.63 square meters. The layout is a 3K (three rooms plus kitchen), spread over two stories.
According to the agent's notes, this property requires substantial work. Critical information includes: there is no bath, and the well water is not drinkable. The agent also states that the property has overall deterioration. When making an inquiry, mentioning that you saw the listing on the At Home Akiya Bank will help streamline the process.
The home features a south-facing orientation, city gas, a system kitchen, two toilets, a reheat function for hot water, a monitor-equipped intercom, and parking for two or more vehicles. Its corner lot position in a quiet residential area adds to its potential. The property is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Kizuki Station on the Kisuki Line, offering excellent access to local transportation.
The surrounding area of Unnan City is part of the scenic Izumo region of Shimane Prefecture, known for its deep historical and mythological roots. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine, one of Japan's oldest and most important Shinto shrines, is traditionally believed to host all the gods of Japan during the lunar month of Kannazuki (October), which is instead called Kamiarizuki (the month with gods) in the Izumo region. While Izumo Taisha is a major landmark, the property is also within reach of the beautiful Lake Shinji, famous for its sunset views and fresh clams.
