Spacious Land Plot in Okinawa City with Development Potential
This substantial land plot, located in Okinawa City's Momohara 2-chome, offers a generous area of 948.6 square meters (approximately 287 tsubo). Priced at 37 million yen, it presents a significant opportunity for development, such as apartment construction or subdivision into residential lots. The property is designated as residential land within a Category I Low-Rise Residential Zone, with a building coverage ratio of 50% and a floor area ratio of 100%.
Critical agent notes have been provided, which contain essential information for potential buyers. The remarks translate as follows: "Setback required; Height difference with neighboring land of 1-6m; Partial agricultural land conversion required; Designated as a sediment disaster warning area (Yellow Zone); Water channel on the south side; No water/sewer lines on the front road (available nearby)." These points are crucial for development planning and due diligence. The land is vacant and flat, but buyers must account for the required setback from the road, the significant slope with adjacent properties, and the need to convert part of the land from agricultural use. Being in a designated sediment disaster warning zone may affect insurance and construction requirements. While utilities are not directly on the front road, they are accessible in the vicinity.
The area, Momohara in Okinawa City, is part of central Okinawa Island, offering a blend of residential comfort and accessibility. An interesting local fact is that Okinawa City was formed from the merger of several towns, including the former Koza, which was profoundly influenced by the nearby U.S. military bases, creating a unique cultural fusion. The closest major tourist attraction is the Okinawa Zoo & Museum (Okinawa Kodomo no Kuni), a family-friendly destination featuring a zoo, museum, and expansive parklands, located just a short drive away.
