The view out of this house is the kind you usually have to hike to a lookout for. Small island in the Seto Inland Sea, $62,000.

Koujima is a 15 minute ferry from Hinase port in Okayama, and that port is 90 minutes from Kobe. The whole island is vacation homes, close to 300 of them, known for oranges and oysters.

Built in the early 1990s and renovated inside and out a few years back, roof included. Just over 90 m² of house on a plot a bit over 280 m², two rooms upstairs, a living room with a vaulted ceiling and a big south facing balcony off it.

The bathroom sits on the sea side with far more space than a bathroom needs. Black tile, big window. Somebody built this place to be looked out of.

Real catches: no parking at the house, the toilet is a pump out system, and the water heater is gone, so buy one before your first shower.

$62,000 USD / ¥9.8million JPY
