Harmony of Traditional Japanese Essence and Modern Design: A Refined Space in Shimizu
This unique property stands proudly in Ihara-cho, located in the southern part of Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City. The former owner, a master carpenter, personally built this one-of-a-kind home, resulting in a space where meticulous craftsmanship and passion are evident in every detail. The interior features a high wood visibility ratio, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere with excellent tactile feel underfoot and hands, making it as visually pleasing as it is comfortable.
The property sits on an expansive plot of approximately 300 tsubo (about 990 square meters) and includes a main house, an office, workshops, and storage sheds, with additional space for a home vegetable garden. This versatile setup offers numerous possibilities: starting a business from the office, dedicating yourself to DIY projects in the workshop, or simply enjoying the spacious compound. The location offers excellent access to stations and interchanges, striking a perfect balance—neither too urban nor too rural.
Equipment & Features: The property is equipped with electricity, public water supply, a private purification tank, and an IH cooktop. The legal framework includes the Agricultural Land Law and the Shizuoka City Landscape Plan. A special note regarding the building: due to unregistered portions, the exact area per floor is unclear. The附属建物 (attached buildings) consist of a registered office (97.51 sqm), a storage shed (16.52 sqm), Workshop ① (99.26 sqm), and Workshop ② (26.40 sqm), with the latter three being unregistered. The kitchen in the workshop uses propane gas.
Shimizu Ward is renowned as a treasure trove of seafood, famous for having Japan's highest tuna landings at its port, as well as fresh shirasu (whitebait) and sakura shrimp from Suruga Bay. The area seamlessly blends its rich maritime culture with stunning natural scenery. A major landmark and UNESCO World Heritage site, the iconic Mount Fuji, is prominently visible across Suruga Bay, offering breathtaking views and serving as a constant, majestic backdrop to life in this region.
