Spacious Countryside Estate with Agricultural Land in Maniwa, Okayama
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with water from a well, propane gas, and a septic tank drainage system. It includes a dedicated laundry area, an IH kitchen, a private garden, and available parking. The current status is vacant. The transfer of the property is subject to consultation. Importantly, the sale includes not only the main house and a separate guest house but also a longhouse and a garage. A note for buyers: the 6-tatami mat Japanese-style room at the back of the main house requires floor renovation.
The real highlight is the extensive land package. Beyond the 425.59 square meters of residential land, the sale includes significant additional plots: a rice paddy (3,457 sqm), cultivated field (2,758 sqm), pond/marsh (10 sqm), forested mountain land (9,778 sqm), undeveloped field (468 sqm), and an additional 115.44 square meters of residential land. This makes it a perfect base for agricultural pursuits or simply enjoying vast private natural surroundings.
