Uninhabited Island for Sale in Matsushima Bay
This listing presents a unique opportunity to acquire an uninhabited island, Shirahama Island, located within the famed Matsushima Bay, one of Japan's Three Great Views. Currently owned by a corporation that is not utilizing the property, the island is being sold as part of a strategic decision to consolidate investments. The transaction can be completed promptly after the contract is finalized.
The island features a private beach composed of white seashells, giving it its name. Due to the absence of broad-leaved trees that collect rainwater, the island is notably free from mosquitoes even in summer, making it an ideal location for camping. The terrain includes flat areas suitable for pitching tents. However, there are no existing infrastructure utilities, requiring creative solutions for any use.
It is important to note that this is a land-only offering. Under the Natural Parks Act, construction of buildings on the island is prohibited. The property is also subject to regulations under the Landscape Act and the Coast Act, meaning any construction of structures or felling of windbreak forests requires consultation and permission from the prefectural government. The sale is on an as-is basis and by public register.
