Spacious Land Plot in Kurashiki, Okayama with Development Potential
This listing presents a substantial land plot for sale in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. The property is a large, level plot of land with a total registered area of 1,566 square meters (approximately 473.72 tsubo). Located in the Tamashima 1-chome area, it is situated within a City Planning Area designated as a Quasi-Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The land is currently vacant and ready for development.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The land is comprised of two lot numbers: 1464-1 at 632 sqm and 1465-1 at 934 sqm. A crucial point is that the sale of lot 1465-1 will occur after subdividing the portion containing a SoftBank steel tower. Consequently, the saleable area will be reduced, and the price will be adjusted downward accordingly, with the cost of this adjustment borne by the seller. Furthermore, the buyer will be responsible for all costs associated with the agricultural land conversion permit application, development permit application, and land preparation/construction work.
The property offers excellent access, with the JR Sanyo Main Line's Shin-Kurashiki Station reachable by bus in approximately 8 minutes, and the Hinode-cho bus stop just a 7-minute walk away. The surrounding area provides convenient daily amenities, including convenience stores and supermarkets within a short distance.
The Tamashima area of Kurashiki is a historically rich district known for its canal networks from the Edo period. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, famous for its preserved white-walled warehouses and willow-lined canals, is a major tourist attraction and a short drive from this property, offering a glimpse into Japan's merchant past.
