Spacious Villa Plot with Bus Access in Hakone's Gora Area
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, undeveloped villa plot in the sought-after Gora district of Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture. The land spans approximately 1,062 tsubo (3,513 square meters), offering ample space to design and build a custom vacation home. The location provides convenient access via bus from Gora Station on the Hakone Tozan Railway, making it an accessible retreat within this famous hot spring region.
Critical agent notes have been provided. The "現況" (Special Notes/Remarks) state: "If you wish to see it in person for free, please feel free to inquire about your preferred date." The detailed "備考" (Special Notes/Remarks) provide essential legal and practical information: "This property is subject to the Sediment Disaster Prevention Countermeasures Promotion Act, Landscape Act, Forest Act, and Sabo Act. It is an approximately 1,062 tsubo villa site with easy bus access from Gora Station. It is recommended for those who want to build a villa on a spacious piece of land. As it is an undeveloped sloping land, land development costs will be incurred depending on the building's location, scale, weight, and construction method. Please consult with the house maker or contractor you commission regarding the development costs."
The land is situated on a corner lot, fronting Prefectural Road 733 and a private road. The site features a relatively flat approach area, an existing but inactive hot spring wellhead (subject to various regulations for reactivation), a water channel, and a municipal fire hose storage box that can be removed. Prospective buyers are advised that the terrain is overgrown, making the topography difficult to discern, and are requested not to visit the site without an agent to avoid disturbing neighbors.
The area surrounding Hakone is renowned for its natural beauty, onsen (hot springs), and museums. An interesting fact is that Hakone is part of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, and the area's volcanic activity is responsible for its numerous hot springs. The closest major landmark is the historic and beautiful Hakone Gora Park, a Western-style garden built on a slope, known for its seasonal flowers, fountains, and a traditional tea ceremony house.
