Land for Development in Matsumoto, Nagano
This 983.00 square meter (approximately 297.35 tsubo) plot of land is located in the Matsumoto City area of Nagano Prefecture. The property is designated as a corner lot with road frontage on two sides: a 4.4-meter wide public road to the east with 24 meters of frontage, and a 3-meter wide public road to the north with 39 meters of frontage. The land is currently undeveloped mixed woodland, requiring significant preparation including tree felling, stump removal, land grading, and the installation of retaining walls. Essential utilities—water supply, sewerage, and electricity—are available up to the front road, but connections must be extended onto the site. Associated costs include water meter installation fees and sewerage beneficiary charges calculated at 340 yen per square meter.
Critical notes for potential buyers include the property's location within a designated sediment disaster warning zone for debris flows. Furthermore, as the northern road is less than 4 meters wide, a road setback (setback) is legally required. The land is classified as farmland (hatake) but falls within an Urbanization Promotion Area zoned as Category 1 Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The optimal use is considered to be for business purposes.
The area around Matsumoto is rich in history and natural beauty. The city is home to the iconic Matsumoto Castle, one of Japan's premier historic castles, known for its striking black exterior and being the oldest surviving castle keep in the country. This plot offers a blank canvas for development in a region celebrated for its alpine scenery and cultural heritage.
