This listing presents a substantial 6,957 square meter (approximately 2,104.5 tsubo) plot of farmland in the Shiraho (Osato) area of Ishigaki City, Okinawa. Currently utilized as pastureland, this property offers a significant opportunity for agricultural use. The price is set at 6,310,000 JPY.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The land is located within an Agricultural Promotion Area, which means construction of buildings is prohibited. Purchasing this land for farming will require obtaining permission under Article 3 of the Agricultural Land Law. The total area comprises four separate land registry lots, but as they are adjacent, they form one contiguous field. Furthermore, the plot is not part of a land improvement district, meaning there is no existing sprinkler irrigation infrastructure.
