Sunny Hills Harumidai: Spacious Plots for Custom-Built Homes in Nara
Sunny Hills Harumidai is a large-scale development of 257 plots in Kashiba City, Nara Prefecture, offering a rare opportunity to build a custom home on a generous piece of land. With 16 plots currently available, each plot is over 54 tsubo (approximately 179 square meters), providing ample space for a comfortable family home. The development features a relaxed, open streetscape surrounded by nature, creating a peaceful residential environment.
As a "construction condition attached" land sale, the purchase is finalized alongside a building contract with the developer, Roof Home. This integrated approach allows for seamless coordination from land acquisition to home construction. The developer offers a wide selection of eight standard design plans, including the popular ZERO-CUBE series, Sunny Track House, and Nordic House, all of which can be customized to suit individual lifestyles and tastes. For the ZERO-CUBE reference plan, the total package price for land and construction starts from 25.7 million yen (including tax).
Detailed agent notes provide specifics on available plots. For example, Plot 129 is a spacious approximately 58 tsubo lot compatible with the ZERO-CUBE plan and can accommodate parking for three cars. Plot 131 is a regular-shaped 57 tsubo lot for the ZERO-CUBE+BOX plan, featuring a generous 19.5-jo LDK (living-dining-kitchen) layout. Plot 139 (approx. 54 tsubo) is for the ZERO-CUBE+SKYBALCONY plan, offering three parking spaces and an enjoyable rooftop balcony. Other plans like PENTHOUSE, BLANC ANGE, and ZERO-CUBE MINI cater to different needs, from open living with rooftop terraces to compact, efficient layouts with ample storage.
The developer, Roof Home, emphasizes a thorough, client-focused consultation process. They work with you to discuss layout, interior specifications, home performance, utility costs, and financial planning, tailoring the process to your individual situation. They are confident in their high-performance standards: homes are built to Long-Term Excellent Housing standards. Construction uses a wooden post-and-beam method with domestically sourced lumber treated with preservatives that penetrate deep into the wood, making it resistant to rot and termites. The foundation is a slab foundation, insulation meets grade 5 (ZEH standard) using spray foam insulation, and seismic resistance is grade 3. Third-party inspections are conducted at five critical stages from foundation reinforcement to completion. After moving in, free periodic inspections are provided at 1, 5, and 10 years. The home comes with a 20-year ground warranty and a 20-year initial building warranty.
The surrounding area of Kashiba City offers a tranquil suburban lifestyle within Nara Prefecture. An interesting historical fact about the region is its proximity to the ancient capital of Asuka, the center of Japanese politics and culture in the 6th and 7th centuries, where many keyhole-shaped burial mounds (kofun) can still be found. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Tōdai-ji Temple in Nara City, a UNESCO World Heritage site housing the Great Buddha (Daibutsu), located approximately a 30-minute drive away.
