Historic 1934 Kominka with Well and Outbuilding in Shimane Prefecture
This property is a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) built in January 1934, located in Hikiyacho, Hamada City, Shimane Prefecture. The house is offered for sale at a symbolic price, reflecting its need for significant renovation. The structure is a two-story wooden building with a total floor area of 156.02 sqm (approximately 47.19 tsubo), featuring a spacious 9DK layout. The land is a generous 688.44 sqm (approximately 208.25 tsubo) and is classified as residential land in a non-city planning area, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
Key equipment and features of the property include a bath and toilet in separate rooms, a shower, washroom, washbasin, storage space, a washing machine area, propane gas, electricity, and both city water and a well. The property also comes with a well and an outbuilding (naya). Special notes from the agent highlight that the house is near the sea, near a river, close to mountains, and situated in a green, quiet residential area with good sunlight and ventilation. It is classified as a kominka and is suitable for a home garden. Importantly, the agent notes that the ceiling in the bath has collapsed, and there are many areas where the floors and ceilings have given way. While indoor leftover items are minimal, substantial management and repair are required to make the house livable. The property includes a well, and the previous owner managed it diligently, airing it out almost daily until around 2006.
