Vacant Land Opportunity in Iwanai, Hokkaido
This vacant land parcel, located in the town of Iwanai, Hokkaido, presents a prime opportunity for residential development. The property is a sizable plot of 417 square meters (approximately 126.14 tsubo), situated in a designated Category I Low-Rise Residential zone. This zoning allows for a building coverage ratio of 40% and a floor area ratio of 60%, providing ample scope for constructing a comfortable family home.
According to the agent's special notes, there is a garage from the neighboring property that currently encroaches onto this land. However, a critical condition of the sale is that this structure will be removed prior to the handover of the land, ensuring the buyer receives a clear and fully usable plot. The land is classified as 'zasshuchi' (miscellaneous land) and is in a ready-to-build state, with all essential utilities including water, sewer, gas, and electricity available at the site. The property is also noted for its corner lot position, offering better access and potential for natural light.
The location offers convenient access via the local Iwanai Circular Bus 'Nottaline', with the Higashi Aioi Assembly Hall bus stop just a 5-minute walk away. The town of Iwanai is part of Hokkaido's scenic Shiribeshi region, known for its stunning coastal views and fresh seafood. An interesting local fact is that Iwanai was once a major herring fishing port, and its historical prosperity can still be seen in some of the older architecture. The area is also within reach of major natural attractions, including the iconic Niseko United ski resorts and the serene shores of Lake Toya, a volcanic caldera lake and a UNESCO Global Geopark.
