Traditional Japanese Single-Story House in Sanmu City, Chiba
This property is a well-maintained Japanese-style single-story house located in the Hasunuma Ha area of Sanmu City (山武市), Chiba Prefecture. The house was reportedly built around 1996 (Heisei 8) and features a stately tiled roof. The total land area is 492.57 square meters (approximately 149 tsubo), and the building has a floor area of 112.81 square meters (approximately 34.12 tsubo). The layout is 4LDK plus a storage shed (物置). The property is currently vacant and can be moved into as-is.
The property is equipped with electricity and well water (井戸), propane gas (プロパンガス), and a septic system (浄化槽). Please note that the property does not have access to public water mains and relies on a well for water supply. While this saves on water bills, in the event of a long-term power outage during a typhoon, the pump will not function and water will become unavailable. It may be advisable to consider switching to public water in the future. The well water can still be used for garden watering, car washing, and cleaning.
The interior includes a 10-tatami-mat Western-style room adjacent to a Japanese-style room with a tokonoma (alcove), creating a combined space of 22 tatami mats. There is also a long, narrow LDK (living-dining-kitchen) area running from the east to the north side of the house. The living room features a sunken kotatsu (堀コタツ), which can be used like a dining table. The kitchen is located on the north side with a window-side sink that provides good natural light. The bathroom, washroom, and laundry area are consolidated, and there are separate toilets for men and a Western-style toilet. The property also includes a large storage shed with a concrete floor, a sink, and a simple shower, which can be used as a workshop or hobby space.
The property is located in a quiet rural area, approximately 550 meters from the roadside station "Orai Hasunuma" (道の駅オライはすぬま), about 650 meters from a convenience store, and about 600 meters from the Hasunuma Post Office. The sea is about 1.8 kilometers away, and the popular Hasunuma Water Garden is within cycling distance. Narita Airport is approximately 23.5 kilometers away (about 30 minutes by car), making this property suitable as a second home for frequent travelers. Note that due to the proximity to Narita's flight path, aircraft noise may sometimes be heard. The property is on flat land with an elevation of about 2.5 meters.
