Spacious Residential Plot in Itoman's Maehira District
This 245.58 square meter (approximately 74.29 tsubo) plot of land in the Maehira area of Itoman City, Okinawa, presents an excellent opportunity for building a spacious single-story home. The property is listed at a price of 9.8 million yen. The land is designated as residential land (宅地) and is situated within an Urbanization Control Area (市街化調整区域), but benefits from specific regulatory relaxations. According to the agent's special notes, this is because it is an "old existing residential site" (旧既存宅地), and as such, restrictions are eased, with the area being treated as a Category II Low-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone (第二種低層住居専用地域扱い). A crucial point noted is that verification of road frontage/access (接道の確認) is required.
The land has a building-to-land ratio (建ぺい率) of 60% and a floor area ratio (容積率) of 200%. There is no private road burden (私道負担無し), and the land rights are full ownership (所有権). The property fronts a 6-meter wide road to the west. Public transportation is accessible, with the Maehira bus stop approximately a 3-minute walk away.
The area of Itoman is rich in history and culture, known for its deep connections to Okinawan traditions and the sea. An interesting fact is that Itoman is famous for its female divers, known as "ama," who have historically harvested seafood. The city is also home to the Okinawa Peace Memorial Park, a major national landmark dedicated to reflecting on the history of the Battle of Okinawa and promoting peace. This serene and historically significant site is a key attraction in the region.
