A Modern, Energy-Efficient Family Home in Kochi
This property is a newly built, high-performance detached house located in a quiet residential area of Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture. Constructed in January 2020, it is certified as a "Long-Term Superior Housing" unit, designed for durability, energy efficiency, and comfort. The home is ZEH (Net Zero Energy House) ready, equipped with a 4.8kW solar power generation system and an Ene-Farm fuel cell unit, significantly reducing energy costs. It also boasts the highest seismic resistance rating of Level 3, and comes with both design and construction performance evaluation certificates, ensuring peace of mind for its residents.
The home's equipment and facilities are comprehensive and high-end. The kitchen features an IH cooking heater and a system kitchen with a Miele dishwasher. The bathroom is separate from the toilet, includes a bath larger than one tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm), a bath dryer, a reheating function, and a shampoo dresser. There are two toilets, both with warm-water washing bidet seats. Other notable features include double-glazed windows, a walk-in closet, CATV wiring, and underfloor heating in the living room. For air quality, a built-in air purifier "AirMe" and a ceiling-embedded nanoe generator "air-e" are installed. The living room is enhanced with downlights that incorporate speakers. Additional comforts include Eco-Carat walls, a wooden deck, an indoor laundry drying area, and an "Athletic Series (Un-tei)" play structure to nurture children's playful spirit.
The property is situated facing roads on both its north and south sides, benefiting from excellent sunlight and ventilation. The planned handover date is the end of March 2026, though this is negotiable. The area of Kochi City offers a blend of urban convenience and natural beauty, being the capital of the prefecture on the island of Shikoku. A major landmark is Kochi Castle, one of Japan's few original castles that has survived since the Edo period without being destroyed or rebuilt, offering a direct link to the region's samurai history.
