Spacious 5DK Detached House in Nakatsu, Oita
This property is a detached house for sale located in the quiet residential area of Imazu, Nakatsu City, Oita Prefecture. Built in October 1974, it is a single-story wooden structure with a generous total floor area of 128.99 sqm (approximately 39.01 tsubo). The layout is a 5DK, comprising four 6-tatami Japanese-style rooms, one 6-tatami Western-style room, and an 8.4-tatami dining-kitchen area. The property sits on a large plot of land measuring 481.84 sqm (approximately 145.75 tsubo) and includes a garden and free parking for three or more vehicles.
According to the agent's notes, the property is registered with the Akiya Bank (vacant house bank), and subsidies may be available depending on conditions. The utilities include a well (primary water source), a municipal water supply connection on the property (though its current connection status is unconfirmed), a combined septic tank (Jokaso), and propane gas. Special equipment includes a washlet toilet, a tankless toilet, a bathroom with a window, a 2-burner stove, and a bay window. A notable remark is that termite damage has been discovered, and discussions with the seller on how to address it are ongoing. The annual running cost for septic tank maintenance is 36,300 yen.
The agent's remarks also highlight that there are three adjacent plots of land (all residential, totaling 247.92 sqm) with an annual fixed asset tax of 11,062 yen. The owner intends to transfer these plots free of charge and wishes to sell them in conjunction with this main property. Located within walking distance, these additional plots could be ideal for uses like a home vegetable garden.
