Expansive Hillside Land in Tosa Shimizu with Solar Potential
This is a substantial plot of land located in the Matsuo area of Tosa Shimizu City, Kochi Prefecture. The property spans approximately 68,894 square meters, equivalent to over 20,000 tsubo. It was originally acquired by the seller's father over 60 years ago from local farmers to expand a tea plantation. The land has remained undeveloped since then and is now overgrown with low shrubs.
The site is situated on a hilltop that overlooks Tosa Bay, offering excellent sunlight exposure and panoramic views. It has frontage along a prefectural road and is adjacent to utility poles, providing easy access to the power grid. The land falls within the second-class special zone of Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park, but development is permitted. Potential uses include a solar power plant, a vacation home site, or a campground.
Tosa Shimizu City is noted for having the highest amount of solar radiation in Japan, making it a highly suitable location for solar power generation. The seller previously owned a separate 10,000-tsubo plot in the city center, which was sold to Tokyo Smart Energy Co., Ltd., which is currently operating a 2-megawatt solar power plant there. The water supply line reaches the adjacent prefectural road, but there is no sewer system connection; a septic tank would need to be installed individually. The property is being sold as-is based on the official registry.
