Land for Sale in Miyakojima: A Prime Plot with Development Potential
This 490m² (approximately 148 tsubo) plot of land is located in the Nishizato district of Hirara, Miyakojima City, Okinawa. The nearly rectangular-shaped land is just a one-minute walk from the Noharagoe Community Center, offering a convenient and peaceful residential setting. The property is currently classified as "farmland" (畑), which presents a specific opportunity for those looking to build a home in this beautiful island location.
Critical agent notes have been translated and must be considered. The property utilizes propane gas and has access to the public water supply. The transaction will be an "as-is" handover. The site falls under specific landscape ordinances: it is within an "Agricultural Settlement Landscape Zone d. Agricultural Landscape," which imposes a maximum building height of 13 meters. The stated area is an approximate value prior to formal subdivision (分筆). Most importantly, as the land is officially registered as farmland, permission under Article 5 of the Agricultural Land Act is required for development. The listing agency, which has an affiliated administrative scrivener office, can consult on this necessary application. Applications for non-residential purposes are not permitted, though it is noted that determining the feasibility of agricultural land conversion is challenging for this particular location. The agent's commission fee is set at 330,000 yen (including tax).
The area of Miyakojima is renowned for its stunning cobalt-blue seas, white sand beaches, and unique culture. An interesting fact is that Miyakojima is home to some of Japan's most spectacular starry skies, having been recognized as a "Starry Sky Conservation Area." The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic and breathtakingly beautiful Yonaha Maehama Beach, consistently ranked among Japan's best beaches, located just a short drive away.
