Land for Sale in Kasaoka, Okayama: A Spacious Residential Plot with Development Potential
This residential land plot, located in the Yokoshima district of Kasaoka City, Okayama Prefecture, offers a substantial 249.87 square meters (approximately 75.59 tsubo) of flat land designated for residential use. The property is in a vacant, ready-to-build state, presenting a blank canvas for constructing a new home. Its location is highly convenient, being just a 2-minute walk (100 meters) from the Yokoshima Children's Park, a local public facility.
Critical infrastructure details are provided in the agent's notes. The property is equipped with propane gas, well water, and a sewer connection. However, a significant note is that there is no municipal water supply directly connected; the owner will need to fund the connection to a main water pipe located approximately 50 meters away. The road access is to a public road on the northwest side, with an 8-meter width and a 12-meter frontage.
Several important special notes must be considered. Firstly, there is a sloped section within the property that may be subject to cliff regulations. Secondly, there are two utility poles and an existing well on the land. The zoning is designated as Category 1 Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
The area of Kasaoka City is part of Okayama Prefecture, known for its pleasant Seto Inland Sea climate. An interesting local fact is that Kasaoka is famous for its traditional 'Kasaoka-bushi' (dried bonito flakes), a key ingredient in Japanese dashi stock. For a major tourist attraction, residents can easily visit the iconic Kasaoka Bay area or take a short trip to the historic Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, one of Japan's few remaining original castles perched atop a mountain.
