Agricultural Land with Additional Fields and Cemetery Plot in Tomata District, Okayama
This listing offers a substantial 1,244 sqm (approximately 376.31 tsubo) plot of agricultural land for sale in the Wada area of Kagamino Town, Tomata District, Okayama Prefecture. The property is notable for being sold as a package that includes not only the farmland but also an adjoining field and a cemetery plot. According to the agent's special notes, the included "cemetery" is currently in a completely empty state with no existing graves or structures. A critical restriction for potential buyers is that the installation of solar panels is not permitted on this land.
The land is situated within an Agricultural Promotion Area and is subject to the Agricultural Land Act. This legal framework imposes specific requirements for any transaction. If the agricultural land is to be bought or sold for the purpose of cultivation, permission from the Agricultural Committee is required under Article 3 of the Agricultural Land Act. Furthermore, if the intended use involves conversion from agricultural land to residential land (tenchi), and the sale or lease of the farmland is for that converted purpose, an application under the provisions of Article 5 of the Agricultural Land Act is necessary. The land is currently vacant and is designated as farmland (denchi) within the city planning area.
