Land for Sale in Kurashiki, Okayama: A Prime Residential Plot with Development Potential
This residential land plot, located in the Mizue district of Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, presents an excellent opportunity for building a custom home. The plot spans a generous 165.53 square meters (approximately 50.07 tsubo) and is situated in a quiet residential area. It is conveniently located just a 4-minute walk (650 meters) from Kyujo-mae Station on the Mizushima Rinkai Railway, offering easy access to local transit.
The property comes with essential utilities already in place. According to the agent's notes, the land is equipped with public water supply, sewerage, and electricity. A special note regarding the road access indicates it fronts a one-way public road to the east, which is 6 meters wide and paved, with a frontage of 4 meters on the property. The land is designated as residential use within a City Planning Area (Urbanization Promotion Area) and is zoned as a Category I Exclusive Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
Critical details from the agent's remarks must be considered. The land is currently vacant and level, but there is a height difference with the surrounding area; the site is planned to be graded to match the height of the road on the east side. Additionally, there is a separate fee of 600,000 yen required for water and sewerage connection charges. A notable legal point is that an easement for passage will be established on the extended portion of Lot 2 for the benefit of Lots 1 and 3.
The surrounding area of Kurashiki is rich in culture and history. The city is famously home to the beautiful Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, known for its picturesque canals lined with willow trees and well-preserved white-walled storehouses from the Edo period. This prime plot offers the chance to build a home within reach of both modern convenience and timeless Japanese scenery.
