Prime Building-Condition Land in Nara's Growing Suburb
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a plot of land in the desirable "Sumireno 1-chome" development in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture. The property is offered as a building-condition lot, meaning the land sale contract only becomes valid upon signing a construction contract with the seller, Sekisui House, Ltd., within three months of the initial agreement. This ensures a seamless process from land purchase to home construction with a major, trusted builder. If the construction contract is not finalized within this period, the land sale contract becomes void and all deposits are promptly refunded in full without interest.
Critical agent notes provide essential details. The land is located in a quasi-fire prevention zone and is subject to road and adjacent land slope restrictions. It is also within a buried cultural property containment area (the "Kawaguchi Morita Ruins"), and a townscape guideline is in effect to promote the formation of a good streetscape. There are associated fees: a water supply share cost of 245,951 yen (including tax and inspection fees) for a 20mm diameter connection. Importantly, the land does not require a development application.
The development, "Common Stage Kashihara Sumireno 1-chome," features two spacious lots, each approximately 278.7 square meters (about 84.3 tsubo). The area is zoned for neighborhood commercial use, offering flexibility for residential use or potential commercial facilities like clinics, offices, or shops, taking advantage of its roadside location. The property benefits from excellent access, being just an 11-minute walk from Kintetsu Osaka Line's "Goji" Station, a rapid express stop offering a 28-32 minute commute to Osaka Namba Station. JR Wakayama Line's "Kashiba" Station is also within a 13-minute walk.
The surrounding area of Kashihara is rich in history as the site of Japan's first permanent capital, Fujiwara-kyo, established in 694 AD. Today, visitors can explore the reconstructed Daigokuden (Imperial Audience Hall) at the Fujiwara Palace Site, a key historical park that offers a glimpse into Japan's ancient past. This blend of modern convenience, flexible land use, and proximity to profound historical sites makes this a compelling proposition for building a custom home in the Kansai region.
