GRAFARE: A New Development of 17 Houses in Sakamoto, Otsu City
GRAFARE is a new development of 17 detached houses located in Sakamoto 8-chome, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. This project offers a range of floor plans from 3LDK to 4LDK+S, with building sizes from approximately 96.05 m² to 105.16 m² and land plots ranging from 120.22 m² to 158.29 m². Prices start from 21.8 million yen and go up to 32.8 million yen. The development is currently under construction with immediate handover available upon completion, which is scheduled for January 2026.
The property features include a high-performance exterior designed to stay clean longer, as rain helps lift and wash away dirt. The kitchen is high-performance and easy to maintain, featuring ample storage space and a wide work area. The bathroom is equipped with an insulated bathtub that retains heat and a bench-type shape convenient for half-body baths and bathing with children. The living room features highly durable, cost-effective, and easy-to-maintain wax-free flooring that is resistant to scratches and dents. Bright, open living spaces allow plenty of natural light to create a comfortable environment where families can gather.
All units in the development have achieved the highest grade in both the Design and Construction Housing Performance Evaluation. Each home includes two car parking spaces. Key equipment and facilities include a monitor-equipped intercom for security, a built-in gas stove, a wide sink, an auto bath remote that heats water to a set temperature, a toilet with a standard washlet function and energy-saving features, a vanity with ample storage, and an energy-efficient, insulated entrance door. The development utilizes the I.D.S. construction method for high durability and performance and is certified as a Long-Term Excellent Housing property.
The location is highly accessible, situated within an 18-minute walk (approx. 1,530m) of JR West Japan's Hieizan Sakamoto Station on the Kosei Line, and a 15-minute walk (approx. 1,140m) from Keihan's Sakamoto-Hieizanguchi Station on the Ishiyama Sakamoto Line. The area is rich in history and natural beauty, being at the foot of the sacred Mount Hiei. A major nearby landmark is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Enryaku-ji Temple, a vast and historically significant temple complex atop Mount Hiei, which has been a center of Japanese Buddhism for over 1,200 years.
