Spacious Flat Land in Hakone's Sengokuhara with Natural Surroundings
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, flat, and regularly shaped plot of land in the sought-after Sengokuhara area of Hakone. The site spans 2,631 square meters (approximately 795 tsubo), offering ample space for development within a serene natural setting. The land is situated within a villa district, providing a peaceful retreat atmosphere while maintaining convenient access to daily necessities. A convenience store is approximately a 12-minute walk (950m) away, and a supermarket is about a 16-minute walk (1,200m) away.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for potential buyers. The property's utilities include electricity supplied by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). Importantly, the sale of this land is based on the registered (public ledger) area. There will be no financial adjustment or settlement, regardless of any increase or decrease in the actual measured area. Furthermore, additional costs will apply separately: a water usage fee (based on consumption) and a share of the cost for exterior lights within the shared common area (apportioned based on the electricity bill).
The land is designated as "wilderness" and faces multiple roads. It falls under the First Category Low-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone within the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, classified as a Type 2 Special Area and a First Category Tourist District. These designations come with specific regulations, including a building coverage ratio of 20%, a floor area ratio of 40%, a height restriction of 10 meters (maximum two stories), and a green space requirement of 70% or more. Setback regulations require buildings to be at least 5.0 meters from road and neighboring boundaries. It is also noted that the property is within a sediment disaster warning area (yellow zone).
The Hakone region, part of the iconic Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, is famed for its volcanic hot springs, stunning views of Mount Fuji, and rich artistic history. The area is a major tourist destination, attracting visitors to its numerous onsens, museums like the Hakone Open-Air Museum, and the historic Hakone Checkpoint. The property in Sengokuhara is notably close to the expansive Sengokuhara Susuki (Pampas Grass) Fields, a famous seasonal scenic spot that draws photographers and nature lovers, especially in autumn when the grasses turn golden.
