Rare White Beach Land Parcel in Uruma, Okinawa
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a 683 m² (approximately 206.6 tsubo) land parcel in the Katsuren Heshikya area of Uruma City, Okinawa. The property is listed for sale at 28,260,000 JPY. The land is classified as "zasshuchi" (miscellaneous land) and is not subject to specific use district regulations, offering flexibility for future development.
Critical information from the agent's notes highlights the property's unique context. The land is situated near White Beach, a U.S. military facility considered of utmost importance for supply logistics, with no scheduled return to Japan. This factor contributes to the property's stable, long-term environment. Furthermore, the agent emphasizes that parcels in this area rarely come to market due to the low number of landowners, making this listing exceptionally uncommon. The annual land lease fee is noted as 642,419 yen, with a land price multiple of 44 times. The listing has been updated with a price reduction, reflecting a lowered multiple.
The area of Uruma City is rich in history and natural beauty, formed from the merger of several towns on the eastern coast of Okinawa Island. An interesting historical fact is that the Katsuren Castle Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are located nearby, offering a glimpse into the Ryukyu Kingdom's past. The closest major landmark is the Katsuren Castle, a powerful gusuku (castle) from the 15th century with stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Kin Bay.
