Affordable Family Home in Oki Islands with Spacious Land
This property presents a rare opportunity to own a detached house on the scenic Oki Islands of Shimane Prefecture. Listed at an affordable price of 2 million yen, this 3DK layout home is situated on a generous 160.92 square meter plot, offering ample outdoor space. The house itself has a total floor area of 67.79 square meters and was built in August 1971, making it 54 years old.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes a separate bath and toilet (B/T), a water supply system, and a septic tank requiring periodic emptying. The house is located in a quiet, south-facing residential neighborhood and features several desirable points: availability of city gas, a system kitchen, two toilets, a reheating function for the bath, suitability for two-generation living, a corner lot location, and a monitor-equipped intercom. Parking is available for two or more vehicles.
Special remarks from the agent provide key distances to local amenities: the town hall is 2.1km away, a clinic is 1.5km, a nursery school is 1.5km, an elementary school is a very close 0.3km, and a junior high school is 1km away. This proximity to schools and childcare facilities creates a favorable environment for families. Important notes for buyers: the property is located within a sediment disaster warning zone (steep slope) and does not have road frontage, meaning it cannot be rebuilt.
The Oki Islands region, part of the UNESCO Global Geopark, is renowned for its stunning volcanic coastlines, sacred shrines, and unique culture. A fascinating fact about the area is that the islands were once a place of exile for emperors and nobles during ancient times. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mt. Daimanji, a sacred mountain and one of the central peaks of Dogo, the largest of the Oki Islands, offering breathtaking panoramic views.
