Land for Sale in Otsu, Shiga: A Prime Corner Plot with Building Conditions
This is a prime development plot located in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, offering a fantastic opportunity to build your custom home in a well-connected and established neighborhood. The land is part of a small, five-lot subdivision, with three plots currently available for sale. Positioned on a corner lot with a front road width exceeding 6 meters, the property provides excellent access and potential for a spacious, light-filled residence.
The property comes with building conditions attached. This means the sale is conditional upon signing a building contract with a designated contractor within a specified period after the land purchase. If a building plan is not agreed upon within that timeframe, the land sale contract becomes void and all monies paid are refunded. The advertised price is for the land only and does not include the cost of construction. The development is already completed, and the handover date is negotiable.
Regarding facilities and specifications, the agent notes that details are omitted as the development is already completed. The main utilities, including electricity, city gas, and water/sewer systems, are available. The land has a total area of 132.30 square meters (approximately 40.02 tsubo) and is zoned as a Category I Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
