Imagine stepping onto your balcony to beautiful sea views stretching out in two directions. For $19,000, this island home in Bizen, Okayama, puts that scenery at the heart of everyday life. Morning coffee overlooking the water, lunch in the sea breeze, or simply watching the changing colors of the sea: the view is what makes this little retreat special.
The spacious south-facing balcony is the perfect place to take it all in, with a brick BBQ grill for meals shared against a gorgeous coastal backdrop. 🌅 Fenced and gated, it also offers an outdoor space to enjoy with your dog while you relax above the surrounding island scenery.
