Critical agent notes provide essential information for potential buyers. The current status is vacant land, and the agent encourages interested parties to feel free to inquire about arranging a viewing on a preferred date. A crucial remark details that any construction on this land is subject to the Taketomi Island Landscape Ordinance. This ordinance, which applies to the Taketomi Island Settlement Landscape Zone, imposes specific architectural restrictions to preserve the island's traditional aesthetic. These restrictions include regulations on exterior wall setback distances, building height, total area, color schemes, greening requirements, and building shape (which must align with Taketomi's traditional architectural styles). Furthermore, building coverage and floor area ratios are also regulated under this ordinance.
The land is designated as residential land (宅地) with no specific use district assigned and falls outside of an urban planning area. It comes with full ownership rights (所有権). The plot offers a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%, with no pre-set construction conditions. The transaction is an exclusive dedicated agency, and possession is available immediately.
Taketomi Island is famed for its meticulously preserved Ryukyu villagescape, with white sand streets, traditional red-tiled houses, and stone walls. A unique and iconic feature of the island is the water buffalo-drawn carts that offer leisurely tours through the village, providing a timeless travel experience. The island is part of the Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park, and its most famous landmark, just a short distance away, is the stunning Kondoi Beach, known for its shallow, crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine white sand.
