Land with Traditional House in Wakayama City
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious plot of land measuring 297.64 square meters (approximately 90.03 tsubo) in the historic and scenic Wakaura district of Wakayama City. The land is situated in a corner location, offering frontage on two sides, and is designated for residential use within a commercial neighborhood zone, allowing for flexible development potential with a building coverage ratio of 80% and a floor area ratio of 300%.
A key feature of this listing is the existing traditional house on the premises. As noted in the agent's remarks, "古家あり実際に見てみたい無料ご希望のお日にちなど、お気軽にお問合せください," which translates to: "There is an old house on the property. If you would like to see it in person for free, please feel free to contact us with your preferred date." This indicates the presence of a kominka or older structure, offering potential for restoration, renovation, or creative reuse, subject to a personal inspection to assess its condition.
The property benefits from established public infrastructure including city water, sewer, and gas lines. The location offers convenient daily amenities with a convenience store, supermarket, and bank all within a short distance. Public transportation is accessible via a bus stop a 3-minute walk away, with service to Wakayamashi Station on the Nankai Line.
The Wakaura area is renowned for its beautiful coastal scenery and deep historical connections. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Wakayama Prefectural Museum houses important cultural artifacts related to the Kishu Tokugawa family, who ruled the region during the Edo period. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Wakayama Castle, a reconstructed hilltop fortress offering panoramic views of the city and recognized as one of Japan's top 100 castles. The property's location provides a blend of residential tranquility with easy access to the cultural and natural highlights of Wakayama Prefecture.
