Free Ancestral Land with Dilapidated House in Tosashimizu, Kochi
This is a unique opportunity to acquire ancestral land and a dilapidated house in Tosashimizu City, Kochi Prefecture, for free. The property was previously lived in by the owner's grandparents until 1995 and was then lent to a neighbor free of charge until January 2007. Since then, it has been vacant. The current owner lives far away and, with no plans for future use by their son, has decided to pass it on due to the increasing difficulty of maintenance.
The location offers a sunny, peaceful, and calm environment. However, the building is significantly deteriorated, with the roofs over the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet having collapsed. Renovation appears to be difficult. There are no special conditions set, allowing for free consideration.
The property includes a field for which a non-agricultural land certificate was obtained in September 2019, meaning no farmer qualification is necessary. The land category has been changed to wilderness. Persimmon trees (both astringent and sweet), konatsu citrus, and shiba grass are planted. Transportation options include a bus route, but services are limited, making a private car essential. The nearest convenience store-style shop is close, while large commercial facilities and hospitals are about 30 minutes (approx. 17 km) away by car. Herbicide is applied periodically (about once every three months). The road from the national highway to the house is narrow in parts, but a standard car can pass.
