Full description

Excellent station access! Most of the property has been renovated and is spacious and clean. The charming garden is a must-see! / Remarks: Partially agricultural land (residential land 780.13m² + agricultural land 29m²) / Designated flood risk area (floods, storm surge, tsunami) / History of flooding under the floor / Water rights permission required / Partial structural tilting in west-side Japanese room (5-tatami space) / No hot water heater / This property qualifies for up to 1.2 million yen in subsidies. / Uto City is right in the center of Kyushu. Uto City is at the junction of National Route 3 connecting north and south of Kyushu with the JR Kagoshima Main Line, National Route 57 running east-west across the Uto Peninsula, and the JR Mishima Line branch. It is characterized by good access to Fukuoka, Kumamoto City, and Kagoshima areas. Additionally, while there is abundant natural beauty in mountains and sea, there are also large commercial facilities, allowing for "just right" rural living. Moreover, from fiscal year 2024, the city is focusing on settlement and migration initiatives, with various expanded subsidies including up to 1 million yen for purchasing newly built homes in the western area, subsidies for acquiring properties on the akiya bank, and subsidies for newlywed couples to help with new life startup costs.
