Prime Land for Custom Home Building in Oita City's Akemino South
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a plot of land within the established Livio Town Akemino Minami J Block development, a residential community set amidst the verdant hills of eastern Oita City. The land is offered with a building condition attached to Sekisui House, one of Japan's leading homebuilders. The development features a total of 35 plots, with 2 currently available for sale, ranging in size from 206.45 to 223.13 square meters.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The development permit number is Oita City Directive No. 1983 (September 10, 2024). Additional costs required at the time of construction include a water supply connection fee of 154,000 yen (tax included, for 20mm diameter), a design review and completion inspection fee of 4,000 yen, and a meter box cost of 19,239 yen (tax included). Ongoing monthly fees include a neighborhood association fee of 500 yen (as of February 2025), an environmental management fee of 4,810 yen (non-taxable), and a one-time management union operation fund of 100,000 yen (non-taxable). Optional home security and mechanical guard service costs 3,960 yen per month (consumption tax included), with a separate installation cost of approximately 220,000 yen (tax included). Walking times are calculated at 80 meters per minute, and distances/times may vary depending on the route. The community has established "townscape rules" and plans to conclude a "green space agreement" based on the Urban Green Space Law.
Most importantly, the land purchase contract for this subdivision becomes valid on the condition that a building construction contract is concluded with the seller, Sekisui House Co., Ltd., within three months of signing the land contract. If the building contract is not established within this period, the land sale contract becomes definitively void, and any received deposits will be promptly refunded in full without interest.
The area offers excellent daily convenience, with the Akemino Junior High School bus stop a 4-minute walk away and the Akemino Acros Town shopping mall within a 10-minute walk. The plots themselves are well-designed, with some being corner lots that allow for ample sunlight. The road frontage is generous, facilitating flexible parking plans. The land is level, allowing for high degrees of freedom in home design.
Oita City is the capital of Oita Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, known for its numerous hot springs. A major landmark not far from this development is the iconic Oita Bank Dome (currently named due to sponsorship), a large multi-purpose stadium that hosts major concerts and sporting events, including games for the professional baseball team, the Oita Seagulls.
