In Yamagata Prefecture, this spacious rural home is not only impressive in size, but also in value. Built in December 1967, the house offers 150㎡ of living space with a generous 9DK layout.
What makes this property especially striking is its recent price drop. Just six months ago, this house was listed at 2 million yen, and it is now available for only 500,000 yen. That is a discount of 1.5 million yen, which equals about $10,000 USD, representing an incredible 75% price reduction 📉🔥. Opportunities like this are extremely rare, especially for a house of this size with land included.
The home sits on a wide 745㎡ plot, complete with an attached field that can be used for a vegetable garden, small-scale farming, or simply enjoying open green space 🌱. The main living areas face south, allowing sunlight to pour in throughout the day, creating a bright and comfortable atmosphere inside.
Daily life is comfortable with city gas, a system kitchen, two toilets, and a bath reheating function, all set on a quiet corner lot with parking for multiple cars. The nearest train station is about 6 minutes away by car, offering easy access while enjoying a peaceful rural lifestyle.
