Prime Land for Custom-Built Living in Ritto, Shiga
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The property is designated as a Category 1 Height District. The water supply connection fee, including consumption tax, is 179,000 yen per lot (covering 20mm connection, review and inspection fees, and sewer inspection). There is no private road burden. The plot is subject to standard building restrictions including road slope, adjacent land slope, and sunlight regulations. Additional regulations include compliance with the Landscape Act (following the "Ritto City Landscape Plan") and the Cultural Properties Protection Act, as the site falls within the "Kunugi Historical Ruins" area, a buried cultural property site. The development has established basic exterior guidelines to ensure a comfortable and pleasant living environment for all residents.
Most importantly, this is a land sale with a building condition. The land purchase contract becomes valid only on the condition that a building construction contract with the seller, Sekisui House Co., Ltd., is concluded within three months of signing the land contract. If the building contract is not finalized within this period, the land sale contract becomes null and void, and any deposits received will be refunded in full without interest.
The surrounding area is family-friendly and convenient, with a children's park and a nursery school within a 4-minute walk, and an elementary school a 9-minute walk away. Daily necessities are easily accessible at a nearby drugstore that also sells groceries, and a popular coffee shop is just a 6-minute stroll away. For a notable day trip, residents can easily visit the iconic Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake, located just north of Ritto. It offers boating, cycling along its shores, and numerous scenic spots, making it a major recreational attraction for the entire Kansai region.
