The property boasts a substantial land area of 15,131 square meters (approximately 4,577.13 tsubo), characterized by its long, rectangular shape, offering significant flexibility for design and subdivision.

The building-to-land ratio is 70% with a floor area ratio of 400%.
Critical infrastructure details, as provided in the agent's notes, include the availability of public water supply. However, there is no public sewer system; therefore, the installation of a private septic tank (jokaso) is required.
The property's western frontage connects to the municipal road, Hirafu 10-gō Line, which has a width of 6.9 meters, ensuring excellent access. It is conveniently located approximately an 8-minute drive (about 4.3 km) from JR Hirafu Station on the Hakodate Main Line.
The standout feature of this land is its spectacular, unobstructed view of Mount Yotei, an iconic and perfectly symmetrical volcano often referred to as "Ezo Fuji" for its resemblance to Mount Fuji. This panoramic vista provides an unparalleled backdrop for any residential or commercial development, adding immense value and appeal. The Hirafu area is internationally renowned as the gateway to the Niseko United ski resort, one of the world's premier winter destinations famous for its incredibly light, powdery snow. Beyond skiing, the region offers world-class golfing in summer, renowned hot springs (onsen), and access to the natural beauty of Shikotsu-Toya National Park, making it a year-round destination for tourism and luxury living.
