Land for Sale in Ashibetsu, Hokkaido: A Prime Residential Development Opportunity
This listing presents a substantial plot of land for sale in the city of Ashibetsu, Hokkaido. The property, identified as Land Lot No. 107, offers a total land area of 441.4 square meters (approximately 133.52 tsubo), providing ample space for residential construction. The land is currently utilized as a cultivated field. However, a critical note from the agent specifies that after the sales contract is finalized, the current owner will take responsibility for clearing the land and delivering it as a vacant lot to the purchaser.
The property is situated in a 1st Category Exclusive Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%, offering favorable conditions for building a family home. It is designated as a corner lot, which often allows for more design flexibility and natural light. All essential utilities—water supply, sewerage, town gas, and electricity—are available at the site, and side ditches are in place. The land rights are for full ownership, and immediate transfer is possible upon negotiation.
For prospective buyers seeking information beyond what is published on the website, the Ashibetsu City office requires the submission of an 'Application for Use' form, which can be downloaded from the city's official homepage. The sale and any associated costs, such as those for ownership transfer registration, will be negotiated directly with the property owner.
The location in Kamiashibetsu-cho is approximately a 25-minute walk from JR Nemuro Main Line's Kami-Ashibetsu Station, offering connectivity to the wider Hokkaido region. Ashibetsu is part of the scenic Sorachi Subprefecture, known for its natural beauty and outdoor recreation. An interesting local fact is that the area was historically a major coal mining center, and its heritage is preserved at sites like the Ashibetsu Coal Mine Memorial Park. The region is also a gateway to the stunning natural landscapes of Daisetsuzan National Park, Japan's largest national park, renowned for its volcanic mountain ranges, hiking trails, and hot springs.
