This is an old house and land located in Etajima City, which is composed of islands in the Seto Inland Sea. Surrounded by mountains, it is about a 15-minute walk to the sea (there are no nearby swimming beaches), making it a place where you can enjoy the unique lifestyle of an island. Although there is no parking, within a 15-minute walk, there are supermarkets, convenience stores, home centers, kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools, the city hall, post office, and bus stops, making it a convenient location for daily needs. There are vacant lots nearby, so if you can get along with the landowners, you might be able to rent a parking space. Generally, the roads leading into the village from National Route 487, where buses run, are only wide enough for one regular car to pass. There are places where the road widens for passing.

The road on the south side of this building (the road in front of the entrance in the photo) has a land number on the official map, but it is owned by Ogaki Town (which has merged into Etajima City) and is designated as a public road (public road "Oohara No. 62") and is recognized as a city road under Article 42, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Building Standards Act.

However, this property has the following drawbacks. Investigations have revealed that construction is necessary to bring in drinking water and electricity. Originally, it seems that water and electricity were drawn from the main house, which is now owned by someone else, to this building, which served as an annex. When inquiring with the designated contractor for public water supply, it was mentioned that due to the road surface being more expensive concrete pavement rather than asphalt, it would cost over 2 million yen. The main house is currently vacant, so it is believed that you can consult with the owner to continue using the water meter from that house (this was how it was done when the previous owner rented it), but please handle the consultation yourself. Regarding the cost of bringing in electricity, please kindly investigate it yourself.

Currently, sewage is handled by a simple water closet and wastewater is drained into a ditch. There is no public manhole installed on the property, but a public sewer main is buried in the city road in front, so it can be connected by paying the beneficiary burden fee and construction costs. The installation of public manholes in Etajima City is also at the owner's expense. It is believed that doing the water supply construction simultaneously would reduce costs. This area is not in a city gas supply zone, and currently, it uses individual propane gas (there is a storage area on the property). The washing machine space is indoors but is located away from the bathroom. The washbasin is located in the hallway leading out from the changing area of the bathroom.

The building is encroaching about 1 meter into the city-owned waterway on the north side. It seems that permission from the city is required for occupation. There may be usage fees in the future. There is an unregistered extension, and the current structure is believed to be two stories with an area of about 100 square meters. It is possible that it exceeds the building coverage ratio. Additionally, the eaves and water heater are encroaching into the neighboring land on the south side. The west side is a field, providing a good view. Although the road access requirements are met (it connects to a city road of 4.0 meters wide, which is a road under the Building Standards Act, with more than 2 meters of frontage), due to the north side having a waterway about 1.5 meters deep and the land being a long, narrow rectangle, it seems difficult to rebuild.

According to neighbors, the area near the south entrance tends to accumulate rainwater due to poor drainage into the rainwater ditch. There is no door-to-door garbage collection, and the garbage collection point is about a 5-minute walk away. I live far away, so I cannot confirm the current situation. Given the age of the building, repairs may be necessary when moving in.
