Land for Sale in Otofuke, Hokkaido with Development Potential
This 191-square-meter plot of land is located at 19-chome 4-ban 5, Kino Nishidori, Otofuke Town, Hokkaido. Priced at 4.5 million yen, the property is situated on a mid-slope area that slopes to the east, offering good views in that direction. The site currently contains an old house, which is noted as being unusable in its present condition. The land is classified as "miscellaneous land" and falls within a City Planning Act Urbanization Control Area.
Critical agent notes provide essential development information. According to the remarks, construction is permitted only for buildings that conform to the Category II Low-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone as per Article 34, Item 11 of the City Planning Act. If you intend to construct a building, permission under the City Planning Act is required prior to filing a building confirmation application. Furthermore, because the existing building on the lot was constructed before the enforcement of the City Planning Act, if the building is demolished after acquiring the land and building and after obtaining the necessary confirmation application permits, a development permit is not required. In that case, the total floor area of the new building can be up to 1.5 times the floor area of the current structure.
