Ultra-Cheap Homes

This Old House needs a new owner

Oh give me lands, lots of lands and the sunny skies above…

At just $690, this 6DK home in the Makiku Tsuboyama area of Joetsu City is an opportunity that seems too good to be true. But the price is real—and it reflects the fact that this property needs a lot of TLC. Surrounded by nature, the house features traditional architecture, including a shuttered garage and a kura (storehouse), perfect for those who love the charm of old Japanese homes. However, be prepared to roll up your sleeves; this house requires significant renovation work to restore it to its former glory.

Prefecture: Niigata
Price: $690
Living Space: 259.86 m²
Land Space: 491.94 m²
