Sunny Subdivision Land Near the Naka River in Tochigi
This 1,981.85 sqm (approximately 599.5 tsubo) plot of land is located in a sunny subdivision near the Naka River in Motegi Town, Tochigi Prefecture. The property is officially registered as residential land, though it currently presents as undeveloped wilderness, offering a perfect blank canvas. It is ideally suited for building a single-family home and creating a substantial space for a personal vegetable garden. The land consists of three separate titled lots, which can be purchased together or subdivided and sold individually. If subdivided, the seller's share of the private road can also be transferred.
The land is equipped with access to electricity and public water supply. A private septic tank (jōkasō) will be required. It is situated on a gentle slope, with frontage on a paved public/private road approximately 5 meters wide to the east. The property falls outside of urban planning zones and has no specific land use designation, with a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. Important legal notes include compliance with the Tochigi Prefecture Landscape Ordinance and the Cultural Properties Protection Law (Kawatsura Minami Site). The property is also within a flood hazard area with an estimated inundation depth of 0.5 to under 3.0 meters.
The area is renowned for the Naka River, which flows from the Nasu mountain range to the Pacific Ocean. It is famous for ayu (sweetfish) fishing, with the Motegi Town's 'Ōse Yana' fishing weir boasting the highest catch in Japan, making it a true ayu fishing sanctuary. This property is located approximately 5km downstream from this notable spot. A major landmark in the broader region is the historic and culturally significant Nikko Toshogu Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site located roughly 50km away, known for its breathtakingly ornate architecture and deep connection to the Tokugawa shogunate.
