Farmland in Naruto, Tokushima Prefecture
This property offers approximately 506 square meters of farmland located in Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture. The land is currently being used for broccoli cultivation and is ready for immediate agricultural use. It is situated in a quiet area surrounded by rice fields and farmland. The location is near the first and second temples of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, as well as Oasahiko Shrine. Naruto City is known for supporting lifestyles that combine farming with other work or activities, often referred to as 'semi-agriculture, semi-X,' and also offers support for relocation and business startups. The property is a 20-minute drive from Naruto City Hall, about one and a half hours from Kobe City, and approximately two hours from the Osaka area, making it a practical option for a dual-location lifestyle.
The land area is 506 square meters (approximately 5 se). It is being sold as agricultural land. The surrounding area is predominantly fields and farmland, offering a peaceful environment. This property is suitable for those looking to start small-scale agriculture, enjoy a scale of farming between a home garden and full-time professional farming, or pursue a semi-agricultural lifestyle. It is also ideal for those seeking a base for a dual-location lifestyle or considering future relocation. The seller hopes to find someone who will continue to use the land for agricultural purposes.
Regarding land use conversion, while this land is in a urbanization control area, it is located in a district designated under Article 34, Item 11 of the City Planning Act, which means development permits are relatively easier to obtain. However, for converting the land use, several procedures are required, including a development permit application, a regional plan exclusion application (taking about two months), and an Agricultural Land Act Article 5 permit application. The shortest estimated time for delivery is about three months, with a more comfortable estimate being six months. For use as farmland, a sale can proceed after applying for an Agricultural Land Act Article 3 permit from the Agricultural Committee. The so-called 'farmer qualification' is not always strictly required, and acquisition may be possible depending on the situation. The seller, who has returned to Naruto, is also available to discuss relocation and life planning.
