Spacious Land Plot in Itoman City with Development Potential and Ocean Views
This 667.93 square meter plot of land in the KuniYoshi area of Itoman City offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of Okinawa. The property is praised for its harmonious atmosphere, blending the nostalgic, original scenery of old Okinawa with its natural beauty. The expansive land provides endless possibilities, whether for farming, gardening, use as a vehicle parking area, or as a storage space for materials—your ideas can make the potential limitless.
Critical agent notes detail important conditions for development. The land is an existing residential plot but is located within a City Planning Area of Adjustment, requiring a development permit. It is also subject to the Itoman City Scenery Creation Plan, necessitating prior coordination and notification. A portion of the land falls within the Third Category Special Zone of the Okinawa War Memorial National Park, requiring permission from Okinawa Prefecture. The buyer must handle all notifications, permit acquisitions, development permit procedures, building confirmation applications, and final inspections with the relevant authorities.
Additional essential notes include a recommendation for an unexploded ordnance magnetic survey prior to construction, with support available through an Okinawa Prefecture program. The site requires a septic tank system without sewer connection, and the buyer is responsible for installing a leaching pit and catch basin; installing side ditches will be at the buyer's expense. The road frontage is a Type 2 Road with private road burden. The exact setback area will be determined by survey. While boundary surveys are complete, the private road burden area will not be settled upon transfer. The existing exterior blocks may be deteriorated and potentially non-compliant with current building codes, possibly requiring retaining wall and exterior work. Depending on the building plan, the property may fall under the Okinawa Prefecture Cliff Ordinance, potentially necessitating new retaining walls, earth retaining works, and structural calculations to ensure safety compliance. Consulting with an architect is strongly advised.
The area is notable for its scenic beauty and proximity to significant landmarks. An interesting local fact is that Itoman City is historically known as a fishing town with a deep cultural heritage. From a design ground level of approximately two stories, the property offers potential views of the East China Sea to the west. The closest major tourist attraction is the Okinawa Peace Memorial Park, a solemn and historically important site dedicated to the lives lost during the Battle of Okinawa.
