Nature-Rich 5K Light Steel Two-Story Home in Shimohama, Akita City – 455 sqm Land

Nestled in a nature-rich setting in the Shimohama Hatta district of Akita City, this two-story light steel-frame (軽量鉄骨造) residence offers a 5K layout spread across two floors — three rooms on the ground floor (Western-style 8-mat, Japanese-style 6-mat × 2) and two rooms upstairs (Western-style 6-mat, Japanese-style 6-mat). Built in November 1985, the property sits on a generous 455.56 sqm plot with a total floor area of 95.45 sqm (68.65 sqm on the first floor, 26.80 sqm on the second). **The property requires some repair work** — the condition survey notes "minor to moderate repairs needed," and no building condition inspection (建物状況調査) has been carried out. The seismic diagnosis waiver applies under current exemption criteria. **Critical hazard disclosures — please read carefully:** The entire site falls within a Steep-Slope Collapse Hazard Zone (急傾斜地崩壊危険区域). A portion of the site, including part of the building, lies within a Sediment Disaster Warning Zone (土砂災害警戒区域). Furthermore, part of the site is designated as a Sediment Disaster Special Warning Zone (土砂災害特別警戒区域 — the more restrictive "red zone"), which carries significant legal and financing implications. Utilities include connected electricity, LP gas for the bath and kitchen, public water supply, a flush toilet on a cesspit/pump-out (汲取り) system, and "other" drainage (not connected to public sewerage). Three off-street parking spaces are available. The property also benefits from a household kitchen garden (家庭菜園) and a dedicated snow-disposal area (雪捨て場) — a practical asset in Akita's heavy-snow winters. Located outside any urban planning zone (都市計画区域外), the nearest bus stop (Akasaka) is approximay 0.6 km away. Shimohama Station is about 8.4 km, and the nearest supermarket (Marudai Onoba) is roughly 9.6 km. Registered with the Akita City Akiya Bank on 21 October 2024.
