Description
Hokkaido has established itself as a world-renowned destination thanks to its high-quality powder snow, beautiful natural landscapes, and relaxing hot springs. In the peaceful city of Akabira, this spacious wooden two-story house features a four-room (4LDK) layout on a generous freehold plot of 335 m² (3,602 ft²) with a building area of 90 m² (963 ft²). This property is offered at a highly accessible price of USD 5,714 (based on the price of the house in JPY of "800,000 JPY" at 1 USD = 140) (Additional notary, processing, documentation, and tax expenses are estimated at approximately USD 10,000). Since this is a land-value property sold as-is, it represents an excellent blank canvas for creative renovations or future rebuilding.
The residence is equipped with a private yard, a balcony, traditional tatami rooms with ample built-in storage, and is fully connected to the public water supply and public sewer system—a significant advantage for rural homes. It also features propane gas, a forced-flue (FF) heater for winter, and free on-site parking.
Strategically located in central Hokkaido, the property is about a 15-minute drive from the Elm Highland Resort and its relaxing hot springs, and the same distance from the famous Takikawa Rapeseed Fields in spring. The prestigious Somes Saddle leather goods factory and showroom in Sunagawa is just 25 minutes away. For winter sports and nature lovers, the world-famous Furano Ski Resort and its iconic lavender fields are located about 40 to 45 minutes away by car. International access is very convenient, with Asahikawa Airport roughly 50 to 60 minutes away, while Sapporo is about an hour and a half by highway or express train. This property offers a low-cost, low-risk investment opportunity in one of Japan's most desirable tourist regions.
