Modern Detached Home with Advanced Earthquake Resistance in Okinawa
This newly completed detached house, built in November 2024, offers a move-in ready 3LDK layout with a spacious 18-tatami mat living-dining-kitchen area. The property is located in the peaceful area of Furugen, Ōzato, Nanjō City, Okinawa Prefecture, and is part of a small development of five plots, with three still available. The total floor area is 94.81m² (approximately 28.68 tsubo) on a land plot of 112.36m² (approximately 33.99 tsubo).
The property is equipped with numerous high-grade features. The kitchen is a high-grade system kitchen from Takara Standard, complete with a dishwasher and a water purifier. A large-capacity cupboard (dish rack, W1800) is also standard. For laundry convenience, a gas-powered clothes dryer "Kantakun" is installed. The living room comes with one air conditioning unit. All rooms are fitted with insect screens, curtains, curtain rails, and lighting fixtures. The front door features a LIXIL touch-key smart lock, and a delivery box is provided for security. The house is fitted with Low-E double-glazed hybrid sash windows in all living rooms for energy efficiency.
A critical and standout feature is the inclusion of the MIRAIE seismic damping device, which has a proven record of zero total or partial collapses even during the Kumamoto earthquake, reducing seismic shaking by up to 95%. The property also meets ZEH (Net Zero Energy House) standards, which helps to lower utility costs, and is certified as a Long-Term Excellent Housing unit. The purchase price of 45,600,000 yen includes the cost of the MIRAIE device and the Long-Term Excellent Housing application fee. The seller, Life Design Kabaya, offers free services including creating estimated financing and loan repayment plans, as well as free代理 (agency) services for home loan pre-screening and formal application procedures.

They have achieved the number one sales ranking in the Chūgoku area for five consecutive years and in Okayama Prefecture for nine consecutive years, and won both the Good Design Award and the Wood Design Award in 2025. As the seller, they charge no brokerage fees and emphasize a customer-focused approach, encouraging potential buyers to view the property and proceed at their own pace once fully satisfied.
The surrounding area of Nanjō City offers excellent convenience for daily life. AEON Town shopping mall is just a 4-minute drive away, and the property is within a 9-minute walk to Ōzato Kita Elementary School, making it an attractive environment for families. An interesting fact about Nanjō City is that it is home to the peaceful and historic Nanjō Gusuku Sites, a collection of Ryukyuan castle ruins recognized as part of the UNESCO World Heritage "Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu," offering a deep dive into Okinawa's unique history.
