Spacious Residential Plot in a Vibrant Family-Friendly Development in Setouchi City, Okayama
This 169.69㎡ (approximately 51.33 tsubo) residential plot is situated within a bright and lively housing development in Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture. The property is part of a new subdivision of 9 plots, with 8 still available, designed to attract families and create a community of similar-aged residents. The development boasts a total of 33 beautifully arranged plots, combining the existing Phase 1 (8 plots) and Phase 2 (16 plots, all sold) estates.
The property comes with essential utilities and infrastructure in place. Facilities include Propane gas, mains water supply, a septic tank, side ditches, and electricity. Access is via a one-sided road to the southeast, which is a private road 5.8 meters wide, with a frontage of 11.3 meters. The land is a level, rectangular plot, making it ideal for construction.
Key community features and special notes have been translated from the agent's details. The old Nagafune Town public hall site is scheduled to have a new children's garden (kodomoen) open in April 2027. The neighborhood association, shared with the 16 homes of Phase 2, has minimal obligations, with only an annual waterway cleaning event and a single rotating officer position. For daily needs, an internal medicine clinic is within walking distance, and a warm-water pool (B&G Ocean Center) is nearby for health and recreation (summer only). The under-construction Iris Ohyama "Okayama Setouchi Factory" in the 2nd Miyashita Industrial Park is about a 2-minute drive away, and access to Oku Town via this industrial park is excellent.
There are separate required fees totaling 600,000 yen (tax included): a 400,000 yen water supply connection fee (includes a 13mm meter; upgrade to 20mm is at actual cost) and a 200,000 yen boundary block fee for a core-stacked block fence already installed on the boundary line, eliminating the need for complicated negotiations with neighbors. Furthermore, a septic tank installation subsidy is available from Setouchi City, starting from 332,000 yen depending on scale.
The area offers a fantastic setting for family life. An interesting local fact is that the development is near the "Nagafune Kome" (Nagafune Rice) landmark, a testament to the region's agricultural heritage. For a major tourist attraction, residents are within a reasonable distance of the historic Bizen Osafune Sword Museum, located in the former Osafune area known for its centuries-old tradition of Japanese sword forging.
