Prime Residential Land in Soka City, Saitama
This prime residential land plot, located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Shinmei 1-chome in Soka City, Saitama Prefecture, offers an excellent opportunity for building your dream home. The property is a vacant lot with a generous land area of 171.89 square meters (approximately 51.99 tsubo) and benefits from good sunlight. There are no specific building conditions attached to the sale, providing significant flexibility for the future owner's design and construction plans.
According to the agent's notes, the property is situated within Soka City's landscape plan under the 'Historical, Cultural, and Traditional Landscape Zone' for areas from block 6 onward in the 1-chome. The seller specifically wishes to limit the sale to buyers intending to use the land for a personal residence. A current survey is planned, and upon handover, the seller will take responsibility for terminating any existing parking lot contracts. A critical note for potential builders is that the road on the west side of the property is designated as a waterway on the official map and does not meet the road frontage requirements of the Building Standards Act. The property is subject to a minimum lot area of 100 square meters and falls within the Location Optimization Plan (Urban Function Induction Area and Residential Induction Area). Utilities include public water supply and sewerage.
The location is highly convenient, within a 12-minute walk from the JR East and Tobu Railway's Soka Station, providing excellent access to central Tokyo and the wider Kanto region. The area is a quiet residential district with essential amenities nearby, including a drugstore, clinic, nursery, and elementary school within a short walking distance.
An interesting fact about Soka City is its fame as the birthplace of 'Soka Senbei' (rice crackers), a traditional Japanese snack with a history dating back over a century. For recreation and nature, residents can easily visit the nearby Koshigaya Lake Town, a massive commercial and leisure complex built around a scenic lake, offering shopping, dining, and waterfront strolls just a short train or car ride away.
