Four timber buildings on one flat freehold plot, with rail and bus nearby
Otsu in Shiga offers a residential setting with both rail and bus access within walking distance. The property is a compound of four two-storey timber buildings dating from the 1950s to 1980, set on a single flat freehold plot behind a plastered wall and stone base. It is vacant and available for immediate handover, though some buildings need repair before use and it is sold as is. It suits a buyer planning a renovation, a family compound or a larger restoration project.
Why This Opportunity
The buildings share a single flat freehold site, so a main house and further family or guest space sit within one boundary. Their total registered floor area is large for a house.
A private railway station is about a quarter of an hour on foot, a second line is further, and a bus stop is a few minutes away. This supports daily travel without a car.
The property is empty, so surveys and renovation planning can begin straight after agreement. Furniture shown in the photographs is open to negotiation.
Construction dates span the mid twentieth century to 1980, giving a choice between traditional timber structures and a later build. Works could be phased accordingly.
