Your Affordable Hot Spring Home in Miyagi
Discover an exceptional opportunity in Miyagi Prefecture’s renowned Naruko Onsen area! This vacant 2LDK detached house, built in 1990, offers a spacious 97m² (1052 sq ft) building area on a 566m² (6094 sq ft) registered land plot, recently reduced to an attractive price of just USD 36,000 (all purchase costs included).
For residents, the property provides a comfortable, villa-like lifestyle. It features a generously sized LDK (approx 23 tatami), ample storage throughout including an attic and shoe-in closet, and a private garden over 10 tsubo (approx 33 sq m) perfect for home gardening. Enjoy relaxing times in the bathroom, a highlight of the Onsen area, featuring a window. The home benefits from a south-facing orientation, two-sided lighting, and double glazing, creating a quiet and bright environment. It sits in a tranquil residential area with adjacent buildings over 2m away. Recent interior clearing (Oct 2024) means it’s ready for personalization.
As an investment, the low price point in a popular hot spring resort town (ranked 3rd in Miyagi) presents significant potential. Located within the renowned Naruko Onsen area, the property is not only close to local hot spring facilities but is also a short drive from several key attractions that draw tourists year-round, making it highly suitable for vacation rentals. The famous Naruko Gorge (鳴子峡), especially breathtaking in autumn, is a must-see and only about 823m away. Within a comfortable 45-minute drive, you can access other natural wonders and attractions. Explore the impressive engineering and scenic views at the Naruko Dam (鳴子ダム), or enjoy the tranquility of the Araike Marsh (荒沢ため池). For winter sports enthusiasts, the Onikobe Ski Resort (オニコウベスキー場) is easily reachable, adding seasonal appeal. The region is also the birthplace of the beloved Naruko Kokeshi dolls, and visitors can learn about their history and craft at the nearby Naruko Kokeshi Museum (鳴子こけし館). The variety of nearby attractions—nature, culture, hot springs, and seasonal activities—combined with the property’s features and attractive price, makes it a compelling investment opportunity. Convenient local amenities, including Michi-no-eki Naruko (道の駅なるこ) for local products and rest stops, are also within easy reach. The property is vacant, facilitating renovation or immediate use for rental purposes.
Access from JR Nakayamadaira-onsen Station is approximately 22 minutes on foot, translating to a comfortable approx. 6-7 minutes by bicycle. Parking for 2 cars is available and free. Utilities include propane gas, city water, septic tank, and cable TV. Embrace this chance for an affordable home or a promising investment in a beautiful resort destination.
