Spacious Agricultural Land in Yonabaru, Okinawa
This listing presents a substantial plot of agricultural land for sale in the Yonabaru area of Okinawa Prefecture. The property spans approximately 2,332 square meters (about 705.4 tsubo), offering significant space. The land is currently classified as farmland and features a sloping terrain. It is in a vacant, undeveloped state, ready for a new owner.
Critical information from the agent's notes must be highlighted. The remarks state: "Sale price: 20,000,000 yen. Price per tsubo: 28,353 yen. Currently, construction is not possible. This is land that does not meet the road frontage obligation stipulated by the Building Standards Act." This is a crucial detail for potential buyers. The land is designated as a '袋地' (fukurochi), meaning it is landlocked and does not have direct frontage or legal access to a public road. Consequently, under current regulations, obtaining a building permit for any structure is not feasible. The transaction is handled as an exclusive listing, and the handover date is negotiable.
The property is situated in a City Planning Area designated as an "Urbanization Control Area," with no specific land use district assigned. The building-to-land ratio (建蔽率) is 60% and the floor area ratio (容積率) is 200%, which would apply if building were permitted in the future. The location is convenient, with the "Church-mae" bus stop just a 2-minute walk away, providing public transport access.
The Yonabaru area offers a blend of suburban living and Okinawan culture. An interesting local fact is that Yonabaru was historically a center for the production of 'bingata,' a traditional Okinawan dyed textile known for its vibrant colors and patterns. The closest major landmark is the scenic Nakagusuku Castle Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage site located a short drive away, offering breathtaking views and a deep dive into Ryukyu Kingdom history.
