Prime Residential Land with Construction Conditions in Yasu, Shiga
This listing presents a rare opportunity to acquire a plot of land in a highly convenient and family-friendly location in Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture. The property is a subdivision development consisting of three plots, with land sizes ranging from approximately 155.94 square meters (47.17 tsubo) to a spacious 435.96 square meters (131.87 tsubo). A key feature is that this is a "construction condition attached" land sale, meaning the purchase contract is conditional upon signing a building contract with a designated builder within a specified period. This structure provides security and a streamlined path to building your custom home.
According to the agent's notes, a significant advantage is that the land does not require a development permit application (開発許可申請不要な土地のためなし), simplifying the administrative process for the future homeowner. The location offers exceptional daily convenience, being just a 12-minute walk from JR Yasu Station on the JR Tokaido-Sanyo Main Line. Key amenities like Yasu Elementary School are a 7-minute walk away, and Yasu Kindergarten is within an 8-minute walk, making it ideal for families. A 7-Eleven convenience store is a mere 5-minute walk, and Yasu Post Office and Yasu Municipal Hospital are both within a 7-minute walking radius.
The development highlights several premium construction and material options available for your future home. Examples include the "Ophelia" system kitchen, the "yuashis" system bath, and the "MIRAIE" seismic damping unit from Sumitomo Rubber, which can reduce building sway by up to 95%. Exterior features like NICHIA's "Micro Guard" self-cleaning wall panels and lightweight KMEW roofing tiles are also presented. The plots offer desirable characteristics such as corner lots, south-facing road frontage, and a front road width of 6 meters.
The area around Yasu is part of the vibrant Shiga Prefecture, known for its beautiful natural scenery centered around Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake. A major historical landmark nearby is the stunning Hikone Castle, a designated National Treasure approximately 20 minutes away by train. This well-preserved feudal castle offers panoramic views of Lake Biwa and is one of only a handful of original castles remaining in Japan.
