Vacant Land in Uto City, Kumamoto: A Prime Building Plot with Scenic Views
This vacant land parcel, designated as Vacant Land R7-3 in Amatsu-cho, Uto City, presents a rare opportunity for those looking to build a home in a peaceful, green residential area. The plot is a flat, sunny, south-facing property with a total land area of 228.09 square meters (approximately 69 tsubo). It is offered as a clear plot of land (更地渡) with immediate possession available. The price is set at a very accessible 800,000 yen.
The property's features, as detailed in the agent's notes, are numerous. It is south-facing with good sunlight (陽当り良好). The walk to the station is flat (駅まで平坦), and it is within a 10-minute walk to an elementary school. The area is described as a quiet residential neighborhood (閑静な住宅街) that is rich in greenery (緑豊かな住宅地), near the sea (海に近い), and riverside (リバーサイド). The land itself is flat (平坦地) and offers views of mountains (山が見える) and rural scenery (田園風景). Essential utilities include a water supply and a septic tank (浄化槽).
Critical special notes must be carefully considered. The land is located within several designated hazard zones: a flood inundation area (for storm surge and river flooding), an area at risk of house collapse due to riverbank erosion, and a special landslide warning zone for steep slope collapse. Therefore, any construction will require building confirmation and consultation with authorities. A boundary meeting with neighboring landowners is also necessary. Legal restrictions apply under the Landscape Act, as it is in a steep slope collapse danger zone, and there are building restrictions due to its location below a cliff.
The area offers a relaxed lifestyle with nature close at hand. A notable local amenity is the "Ajisai no Yu" hot spring facility, located just about a 7-minute walk from the property, providing a perfect spot for relaxation. For a major landmark, the historic Kumamoto Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most iconic fortresses, is approximately a 40-minute drive away, offering a deep connection to the region's samurai history.
