Build Your Dream Home on a Prime Plot in Kanuma, Tochigi
This prime plot of land in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture, offers a fantastic opportunity to build a custom home in a well-connected and convenient neighborhood. The property, designated as "Kanuma Saiwaicho 1-chome 4th Phase," is a single lot with a generous land area of 289.88 square meters (approximately 87.68 tsubo), priced at 12,978,000 JPY. It is strategically located within a 3-minute walk from the "Saiwaicho 1-chome" bus stop and an 18-minute walk from JR Nikkō Line's Kanuma Station, providing excellent access to public transportation.
This is a build-to-suit land sale with a critical condition: the land purchase contract is contingent upon signing a house construction contract with Toyota Wood You Home Co., Ltd. within three months of the land sale agreement. If a construction contract is not finalized within this period, the land sale contract becomes void and all deposited funds are promptly refunded in full.
Essential agent notes provide crucial details for prospective builders. The land does not require a development permit application. Key infrastructure details are as follows: rainwater is managed via road infiltration layers, with no individual rainwater pits or on-site infiltration tanks on the plot. There is a minimum lot area restriction of 165 square meters. Importantly, the entire subdivision is located within the "Uenohara Land Readjustment Project" area, which means construction requires a permit under Article 53 of the City Planning Act. The project was officially decided on October 22, 1966 (Showa 41), but its implementation schedule remains undetermined as of July 28, 2023 (Reiwa 5). The water supply connection fee for a Φ20mm pipe is 135,000 JPY (excluding consumption tax), with an additional inspection fee.
The surrounding area is highly livable, with daily conveniences within easy reach. Multiple drugstores like Welcia and Tsuruha Drug, supermarkets such as Yaohan and Kasumi, and convenience stores are all within a short walking distance. The neighborhood is also family-friendly, with parks like Kibodai Park nearby. The property falls within the school districts for Midorigaoka Elementary School and Kanuma Higashi Junior High School.
An interesting fact about the broader Kanuma area is its historical significance as a major producer of high-quality granite, known as "Kanuma-ishi," which has been used in construction and landscaping across Japan for centuries. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Nikkō Tōshō-gū, a UNESCO World Heritage site approximately a 30-minute drive away. This lavishly decorated shrine is the final resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, and is renowned for its intricate carvings and beautiful setting within Nikkō National Park.
