United Heim Park Katayama Lot 10: A Modern, Eco-Friendly New Build in Imabari
This newly constructed detached house, located in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, offers a modern and comfortable living environment with a strong focus on smart, resilient, and eco-friendly features. The property is part of the United Heim Park Katayama development, which adheres to established "town development guidelines" to ensure a cohesive and pleasant community atmosphere.
The house itself presents a stylish exterior with a warm contrast of white and brown tones, featuring a textured facade and a spacious entrance porch that creates an elegant and high-quality impression. The interior is designed with a 3LDK+S layout, providing ample space for each family member. The first floor measures 47.73 sqm (14.43 tsubo) and the second floor is 40.32 sqm, resulting in a total building area of 88.05 sqm (26.63 tsubo). This plan successfully balances individual private spaces with practical, user-friendly living.
Key equipment and special features are comprehensively outlined. The property is all-electric, though the choice of other retail electricity providers is possible. A solar power generation system allows for eco-friendly living and can help reduce monthly utility costs. This is complemented by a storage battery system, which provides a backup power supply during outages. A Smart Heim Navi (HEMS) system visualizes power usage and allows for remote control of appliances via smartphone. For year-round comfort, a "Comfort Airy" whole-floor air conditioning system on the first floor provides consistent warmth from the ground up. Hot water is supplied by an Eco Cute heat pump water heater with a 370-liter tank. The home is also future-ready with an installed electric vehicle charging outlet.
Construction details include a raft foundation resistant to liquefaction, a high-strength unit structure designed to withstand major seismic events, and high insulation with performance glass wool filled in the ceilings and exterior walls. The kitchen is equipped with an IH cooktop, a counter kitchen, and a dishwasher. Ample storage is provided throughout, including underfloor storage, a walk-in closet, a shoe closet, and a pantry. Other notable features include two or more toilets and a parcel delivery box.
Regarding the lot and development specifics, the land area is a planned 148.62 sqm (44.95 tsubo), with final settlement to be based on actual measurement. A garbage station will be installed at the entrance of the subdivision, to be shared with six neighboring households. There is also a plan to install utility poles within the subdivision plots. The developer notes that if there are any discrepancies between the drawings and the actual conditions, the actual conditions will take precedence.
The location offers convenient daily living. The Setouchi Bus "Katayama" bus stop is within a 7-8 minute walk, providing public transport access. Nearby amenities include Imabari Koizumi Post Office (a 9-10 minute walk), Imabari City Higashi Elementary School (a 14-minute walk), and larger facilities such as Imabari First Hospital and AEON Mall Imabari Shintoshiten are approximately an 8-minute drive away.
