Kofu Honmachi Subdivision: A Build-to-Order Land Opportunity in Kumamoto
This listing presents the Kofu Honmachi Subdivision, a build-to-order land development in the central ward of Kumamoto City. The property consists of two plots, each offering a generous land area of approximately 248.56 to 248.86 square meters. The location is highly convenient, with a 24-hour MaxValu supermarket just a 3-minute walk away and other discount stores within a 6-minute walking radius. The area is served by Kumamoto Municipal Shirahama Elementary School, a 7-minute walk, and Izumi Junior High School, a 13-minute walk.
As a build-to-condition land sale, this is a significant opportunity to create a custom home with Sekisui House, one of Japan's leading homebuilders. The agent notes provide critical details for potential buyers. Regarding equipment and facilities, the land does not require a development permit application. Important remarks outline additional costs and contract conditions: a separate water supply connection fee is not required for the current 13mm diameter, but will be necessary if a larger diameter is desired. Crucially, the land purchase contract for this subdivision will only take effect on the condition that a building construction contract is concluded with the sales agent, Sekisui House Co., Ltd., within three months of signing the land contract. If the building contract is not finalized within this period, the land sale contract becomes void, and any deposit monies received will be promptly refunded in full without interest.
The surrounding area of Kumamoto is rich in history and culture. An interesting fact is that Kumamoto City is home to one of Japan's three most famous castles, Kumamoto Castle, a magnificent fortress originally built in the early 17th century. While the castle suffered damage in the 2016 earthquakes, extensive and ongoing restoration work showcases traditional Japanese carpentry and castle construction techniques, making it a fascinating site for history enthusiasts. The property's location offers a blend of suburban convenience with easy access to the city's major historical landmarks.
