Panasonic Homes Yufu: A New Development in the Serene Foothills
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a plot in the new "Kono" subdivision in Yufu City, Oita Prefecture. Currently under development with an expected completion date of November 2025, this project offers three exclusive building lots for custom homes constructed by Panasonic Homes. The land parcels range in size from approximately 197.77 to 226.91 square meters, each fronting a wide 6-meter road and situated on elevated ground for excellent views and privacy.
The property is sold with a construction condition, meaning the purchase is contingent upon signing a building contract with the designated builder, Panasonic Homes, within a specified period. This ensures a seamless, coordinated process from land acquisition to moving into your new, custom-designed home. The sale includes ownership rights, and no brokerage fees are required from the buyer.
According to the agent's notes, the main utilities are provided by Kyushu Electric Power and public waterworks. A critical piece of administrative information is the development permit number: Directive Metropolitan No. 6-2 (指令都第6-2号). The land is zoned as a Category II Medium-to-High-Rise Exclusive Residential District within a city planning area, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
The location in Hasama-cho, Yufu City, offers a peaceful residential setting with excellent daily conveniences. Yufugawa Elementary School is within a short 460-meter walk, a Lawson convenience store is about 590 meters away, and the larger AEON Hasama store is approximately 1.9km from the site. For healthcare, the prestigious Oita University Faculty of Medicine Hospital is roughly 1km away. An interesting local fact is that Yufu City, formed from the merger of Yufuin and Hasama towns, is famous for its hot springs and stunning rural scenery dominated by the twin peaks of Mount Yufu. The area is a gateway to the natural beauty of central Oita. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Mount Yufu itself, a beloved hiking destination known for its distinctive silhouette, often called "Bungo Fuji."
