Unique Joetsu Property at $19K

Flexible Use & Great Features

Discover a unique chance to acquire a versatile property in the scenic Joetsu area of Niigata! Located at 794-4 Takasumi, this single-story wooden building, originally constructed in August 1991 (approx. 33 years old), is being offered at the remarkably low price of just $19,000 (all purchase costs included). This makes it an ideal option for those seeking a peaceful, functional space in a beautiful setting.

Measuring 41 m² (444 ft²) on a generous 196 m² (2,114 ft²) plot, the property features a 1K layout, system kitchen, 1 toilet, built-in storage, a loft, monitor intercom system, and a storage shed. One notable aspect is its past use as a hair salon. The current setup remains suitable for light service-oriented activities or personal use, supported by existing infrastructure (propane gas, electricity, city water, septic tank).

While currently arranged for non-residential use (note: no traditional bathroom/bathtub area is included), it can be adapted for residential purposes with the appropriate change-of-use procedures. This flexibility allows future owners to shape the space according to their own needs—whether for living, creative projects, or occasional guest use.

The property is located in a quiet, nature-rich mountainous area with easy coastal access. It includes free on-site parking for three cars—practical for any lifestyle. Though Arimagawa Station is about a 13-minute bicycle ride away, the site is easily reached by car, approximately five minutes from the station.

Nearby regional destinations include:

• Itoigawa Global Geopark (~15–20 minutes drive) – ideal for nature lovers
• Joetsu Aquarium Umigatari (~20–30 minutes drive) – a popular regional attraction
• Kasugayama Castle Ruins (~20–30 minutes drive) – rich in local history
• Joetsu-Myoko Shinkansen Station (~30 minutes drive) – direct links to major cities

The exterior has been recently re-sided, giving the property a refreshed appearance. Currently vacant, it’s ready for immediate transfer and personal adaptation. This is a rare opportunity to own a practical, adaptable space in one of Niigata’s peaceful regions—without the high cost often seen in urban areas.
