Sekisui Heim Smart Heim Place Nagahama Yotsuzuka: A Build-to-Order Land Opportunity in Shiga
This listing presents a rare opportunity to acquire a plot of land in the desirable and quiet residential area of Yotsuzuka-cho, Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture. The property consists of two nearly flat lots, each approximately 165.5 square meters (about 50 tsubo), offering ample space to design your ideal home. The site benefits from a wide frontage road of about 6.3 meters, ensuring easy vehicle access and peace of mind.
This is a build-to-order land sale with specific conditions. The sale is contingent upon signing a building contract with Sekisui Heim Kinki K.K. within three months of the land purchase agreement. If a building contract is not concluded within this period, the land sale agreement becomes void, and all deposits and payments will be fully refunded. Furthermore, exterior construction work must be contracted to Sekisui Heim, with some limitations on the exterior specifications.
The property comes with detailed development notes that are crucial for planning. Key regulations include: Setback requirements (minimum 0.5 meters from the neighboring boundary), maximum height restrictions (20 meters), and snow load considerations (110 cm). Specific slope restrictions apply: a north-side slope of 10m with a 1.25 gradient and a neighboring lot slope of 20m with a 1.25 gradient. The land is not in a designated fire zone, and there is no private road burden. Road widths are 6.84m on the north side (Katsukita Heihosen) and 6.40m on the west side (Yotsuzuka Nanbokusen), both asphalt-paved.
Additional costs include a water supply membership fee of 154,000 yen (20mm, tax included), an examination fee of 1,000 yen, an inspection fee of 2,000 yen, a new connection fee of 1,000 yen, and a city gas burden fee of 180,000 yen. Rainwater drainage is handled via side gutters.
The area is highly convenient for daily life, with Nagahama Elementary School and Nagahama Nishi Junior High School within walking distance, making it ideal for families. Nearby amenities include a drugstore and Friend Mart supermarket. The location is within the sought-after Nagahama Elementary School district. For travel, JR Hokuriku Main Line's Nagahama Station is a 24-minute walk away.
An interesting fact about Nagahama is its deep historical connection to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of Japan's great unifiers, who developed the castle town in the late 16th century. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake, offering year-round recreational activities, beautiful scenery, and a rich ecosystem just a short distance from the property.
