Spacious Land with Traditional House and Japanese Garden in Matsuyama
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 362.49 square meter (approximately 109.65 tsubo) plot of land in the historically rich and quiet residential area of Ishite, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture. The land is currently occupied, and the southern half of the plot features a Japanese-style garden, offering a serene and established outdoor space. The property's current condition includes an existing old house, but the land can be delivered as vacant land, providing flexibility for the buyer's vision. The agent encourages interested parties to feel free to inquire about arranging a viewing on their preferred date.
The location offers excellent convenience, being just a 13-minute walk from Dogo Onsen Station on the Iyotetsu City Line, and a 1-minute walk from the Shimoishite bus stop. The land is flat, zoned for Category I Residential use, and has favorable building regulations with a 60% building coverage ratio and 200% floor area ratio. Infrastructure is in place with public water and sewer systems.
The Ishite area of Matsuyama is steeped in history and culture, providing a peaceful living environment. An interesting local fact is that the area is closely associated with the famous Dogo Onsen, one of Japan's oldest hot spring resorts, mentioned in the ancient Nihon Shoki chronicles. The closest major landmark is the iconic Dogo Onsen Honkan, a magnificent wooden public bathhouse designated as an Important Cultural Property and a must-visit tourist attraction.
