Spacious Land Parcel with Existing Structure in Setouchi, Okayama
This property presents a substantial land opportunity in Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture. The site comprises two distinct lots, approximately 200 tsubo (about 660 square meters) and 100 tsubo (about 330 square meters), offering a combined total land area of 993.89 square meters (approximately 300.65 tsubo). This scale makes it highly suitable for use as a spacious warehouse or factory, providing ample space for industrial or storage operations.
Critical information from the agent's notes must be highlighted. The special remarks (備考1) state: "There are parts of the building's slate where asbestos has been used. The current status of the building is unregistered." This is a crucial disclosure for any potential buyer, indicating the presence of asbestos-containing materials in the existing structure and that the building is not officially registered, which may have legal and renovation implications.
The land is designated as residential land (宅地) and is located outside of the urban planning area, offering flexibility. The site is flat, features an existing old house, and comes with full ownership rights. The building coverage ratio is 60% with a floor area ratio of 200%. It is situated approximately 1,520 meters, or a 29-minute walk, from Nagafune Station on the Ako Line.
The Setouchi region, part of the larger Seto Inland Sea area, is renowned for its stunning coastal scenery, mild climate, and production of high-quality fruits like peaches and grapes. An interesting local fact is that the nearby city of Kurashiki is famous for its beautifully preserved Edo-period merchant quarter, the Bikan Historical Area, with its iconic white-walled warehouses and willow-lined canal. The property is within reasonable driving distance of major tourist attractions such as the iconic Okayama Castle, known for its striking black exterior, and the exquisite Korakuen Garden, one of Japan's three great gardens.
