Spacious Residential Plot in the Quiet Hills of Okayama City
This property presents a prime opportunity to acquire a substantial residential plot in the serene Hirayama district of Okayama City's Kita Ward. The land spans a generous 231.4 square meters (approximately 70 tsubo), offering ample space for custom home construction. The area is known for its quiet and peaceful environment, ideal for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle away from the bustle of the city center.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The property requires water supply connection work, with an associated membership fee of 800,000 JPY. A building permit application is also necessary, with its costs to be borne separately. Notably, the land is being offered as one large plot, but the agent confirms that sale as a single, separate lot is also a possibility, providing flexibility for development plans.
The land is designated as residential (宅地) within a City Planning Area of Unrestricted Urbanization. It has a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The plot is slightly sloped, has road frontage to the south with a width of 3.7 meters, and currently contains an old house, indicating it will be delivered as vacant land. The transaction is handled under an agency agreement.
The Hirayama area in Kita Ward offers a relaxed residential atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that Okayama is famously known as the "Land of Sunshine" due to its remarkably low annual rainfall and abundant sunny days. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Okayama Castle, also called "Crow Castle" for its distinctive black exterior, located a convenient distance away and surrounded by the beautiful Korakuen Garden, one of Japan's Three Great Gardens.
