Offered at an accessible price point of USD 12,857 (based on 1,800,000 JPY at 1 USD = 140) (Additional notary, processing, documentation, and tax expenses are estimated at approximately USD 10,000), this detached two-story wooden residence represents an exceptional entry into the Japanese regional property market. Set upon a generous 122 m² (1,314 ft²) parcel of freehold land in Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture, the property provides complete land ownership, offering investors and homeowners complete peace of mind and long-term autonomy.
The house itself encompasses 70 m² (749 ft²) of versatile interior living space configured in a classic 4DK layout.
