Affordable Renovation Opportunity in Hita's Quiet Residential Neighborhood
This property is a registered Akiya Bank listing, offering a unique chance for buyers or renovators to acquire a detached house in a quiet residential area of Hita City, Oita Prefecture. The house is priced at 1.5 million yen, presenting a highly accessible entry point into homeownership or a potential renovation project. Built in January 1953, the 73-year-old wooden structure has a total floor area of 31.74 square meters laid out in a 2DK configuration, situated on a corner plot of land measuring 130.83 square meters.
The property's equipment includes electricity, a septic tank system (汲取), and propane gas (プロパンガス). As highlighted in the agent's notes, a key feature is that this is an Akiya Bank registered property (空き家バンク登録物件), indicating it is part of a municipal program to match vacant houses with new owners, often offering support or information for revitalization.
The home is located in the Yoake district of Hita City, a south-facing, quiet neighborhood. It offers parking space for two or more vehicles. The interior includes a system kitchen and two toilet areas. Additional noted features that may appeal to buyers include a corner lot location, a monitor-equipped intercom, and potential suitability for multi-generational living (二世帯向). The property is currently vacant, with the timing of possession open for discussion.
The area around Hita City is rich in natural beauty and history. An interesting fact is that Hita is often called the "Little Kyoto of Kyushu" due to its well-preserved merchant district from the Edo period. The closest major landmark is the stunning Kuju Mountain Range, part of Aso-Kuju National Park, which offers breathtaking volcanic landscapes, hiking trails, and hot springs, all within a reasonable drive from the property.
