Pros and cons of this 2LDK house
Single-storey wooden 2LDK cabin of 69.56 m² on a freehold plot of 761 m² in the quiet Mitsuishi area of Bizen, Okayama.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 761 m² (about 230 tsubo)
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
- Low entry price — easy to buy with cash
Points to check
- Built 1980, before the 1981 earthquake code — inspect and budget for reinforcement
- Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
