Prime Development Land with Historical Character in Echizen Town
This 659 square meter (approximately 199.34 tsubo) plot of vacant land presents a significant opportunity for development in the scenic town of Echizen, Fukui Prefecture. Priced at 2,160,000 JPY, the property offers a generous canvas for building a custom home or other structure, with the added benefit of being immediately available for transfer.
Critical planning details from the agent's notes are as follows: The land is located within an Urban Planning Area but is not subject to a specific Use District designation. It has a high building coverage ratio of 70% and a floor area ratio of 200%, providing considerable flexibility for the size and footprint of any future construction. The site fronts a single road, classified as a red road with a width of 3.8 meters. A unique historical feature noted is the presence of a stone monument (石碑) within the property boundaries, adding a layer of cultural character to the land.
The property is fully serviced with essential utilities including water supply, sewerage, city gas, and electricity, and features side ditches. It is a corner lot, which often allows for better light and access. The land rights are freehold (ownership), and the current condition is vacant and ready for development.
Echizen Town in Fukui Prefecture is renowned for its rich history in traditional crafts, particularly Echizen-yaki pottery and Echizen washi paper, with a legacy stretching back centuries. The area offers a peaceful lifestyle with easy access to natural beauty. A major regional landmark is the stunning Tojinbo Cliffs, a series of rugged, columnar rock formations along the Sea of Japan coast, which is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty and a popular tourist destination approximately a 30-minute drive away.
