Renovated Traditional House in Iga City, Mie Prefecture
This property is a charmingly renovated traditional kominka (old folk house) located in the quiet countryside of Iga City, Mie Prefecture, the city of ninja. The property was featured on Kansai Television's program "Yo-i Don! Ai Love Inakagurashi." The land is approximately 226 tsubo (approx. 750.41 m²), and the property includes a main house, a detached annex, a warehouse, a vegetable garden area, and parking space for several cars. The concept for this renovation was to create a simple, open, and spacious space suitable for use as a café or restaurant. The renovation work has been completed, and the property is now available for sale.
The main house features a large single-floor design (one floor) created by combining four tatami rooms, plus two additional tatami rooms. The spacious, open living-dining area features a newly installed system kitchen with a stylish wine color, and an engawa (veranda) that lets in plenty of natural light. The property retains the charm of a traditional house with impressive thick beams and a doma (earthen floor). A new bathroom, washstand/dressing room, and toilet have been installed. The detached annex contains two tatami rooms and a loft space, with newly replaced fittings and tatami mats. The warehouse has two rooms and a loft space, which could also be used as a room. The garden and vegetable garden area are spacious and open, and the property enjoys good sunlight. The front garden has been beautifully arranged as a stone garden. A pond in the garden is home to killifish.
Utilities include Chubu Electric Power, a municipal water supply, a simplified flush toilet (with a subsidy program from Iga City for changing to a septic tank flush toilet), and LPG gas. The property is located outside the Urbanization Control Area. The property is currently vacant and ready for move-in. An open house is scheduled for April 29 (Wednesday/National Holiday) from 11:00 to 14:00, no reservation needed.
