Description
A traditional kominka with old-style beams and an earthen-floor entrance (doma), ready to be worked on and lived in for years to come.
This kominka, built in 1974, sits quietly on high ground at the far end of a village, where you can hear the murmur of the Ukan River.
The main house is a calm, traditional home centered on Japanese-style tatami rooms.
Daily water comes from a well. A pump motor is installed, but we recommend having it serviced before use.
(Public water: the main line runs to the road in front of the property and can be connected with installation work, but the construction cost is separate.)
There are three toilets. Only the one near the first-floor bathroom of the main house is a flush toilet (septic tank). The others are vault (pit) toilets.
The barn has an earthen-floor area and a tatami room on the first floor, and on the second floor a characterful wooden-floored space with exposed beams. It also has a shutter, making it useful for storing farm equipment and firewood, or as a workshop.
The house has been vacant for a long time, and both the main house and the barn show deterioration from age. However, you can gradually do the work yourself and shape it into your ideal home.
A rice field of about 203 tsubo is a 2-minute walk west of the residential lot and is currently being cultivated. Another field of about 375 tsubo, a 2-minute walk to the north, is currently lying fallow, but offers the enjoyment of reclaiming and cultivating it yourself.
The Miyaseguchi bus stop is a 7-minute walk away, and the Okayama Expressway (Kaga IC) is about 14 minutes by car, so even in this quiet setting, daily transport is well supported.
This property comes with farmland.

昔ながらの梁と土間、手を入れて住み継ぐ古民家
有漢川のせせらぎを感じられる集落奥の高台にひっそりと佇む、昭和４９年築の古民家物件です。
母屋は和室を中心とした、昔ながらの静かで落ち着いた住まい。
生活水は井戸を使用しており、モーターも備わっていますが、使用の際はメンテナンスをおすすめします。
（上水道：前面道路まで本管あり、接続工事を行えば引き込み可能ですが工事費用は別途掛かります）
３ヶ所に設置されたお手洗いは、母屋１階浴室そばのみ水洗式（浄化槽）。その他の箇所は汲み取り式です。
納屋は１階に土間と和室、２階には梁を見せた趣ある板間が広がります。
また、シャッターが付いており、農機具や薪の保管・作業場などとしても頼れる存在です。
空き家歴長く、母屋・納屋の両方に経年劣化による傷みが見られますが、自身の手で少しずつ手を入れ、理想の住まいへと育てていけます。
宅地から西へ徒歩２分の場所にある田（約２０３坪）は現在耕作中。
また、北へ徒歩２分の田（約３７５坪）は現在休耕中ですが、自身で開墾し育てる楽しみがあります。
宮瀬口バス停まで徒歩７分、また、岡山自動車道（賀陽ＩＣ）までは車で約１４分と、静けさの中にも暮らしを支える足回りが整っています。
こちらは農地付きの物件です。
