 We
Purchased a New House
Yup, we are now in our new home in Setouchi City in
Okayama Prefecture, Japan. The house was extremely cheap and only cost the
equivalent of $9,735 (based on the exchange rate when we
closed the equivalent of Japanese escrow), and
is fully furnished. Oy, such a deal. Anyway, the property is
a two story house in Setouchi City, a basically rural, kind
of a bedroom community (the suburbs), located a mere 6 km (4
mi) from the coast and the Seto Sea where there is fantastic
fishing. The house has 650.2 m2 (6,998 sf) of land and 151.28 m2
(1628 sf) of
living space in the house with a nice view of the
surrounding mountains. There is also a storage shed and
a huge garage with a second floor room. The property is
located at the base of a mountain with the trailhead to a
hiking trail a few meters away from the house.
The city is in an area known as the Setouchi region
containing the Seto Sea and is known as the Aegean Sea of Japan
since the location has the most sunshine and least rainfall
in all of Japan.

I put a lot of house pictures on this page from the original listing on
the real estate website. Yeah, the house
needs some work, but for the price, come on now. Enjoy. |
