Vacant Land with Panoramic Sea Views in Shirahama, Wakayama
This expansive 3,600.43 square meter plot of land presents a rare development opportunity in the highly sought-after resort area of Shirahama, Wakayama. Situated on an elevated plateau at approximately 44 meters above sea level, the property offers sweeping, unobstructed views over Yumiyama Bay, creating a profound sense of openness. The land is flat, making it ideal for construction, and benefits from excellent sunlight due to its three-sided road frontage. These characteristics make it highly suitable for a variety of uses, including a private villa, or even commercial ventures such as a resort hotel, pension, or retreat facility.
According to the agent's notes, the property is currently leased as a parking lot. The seller does not assume liability for contractual non-conformities. Utilities are well-established: electricity is provided by Kansai Electric Power Co., water by the public water supply, and sewage is connected to the public sewer system. Gas is available via individual LP gas tanks. The land is classified as "zasshuchi" (miscellaneous land) and "genya" (wilderness). It is located within a City Planning Area, designated as a Category 1 Residential District, with a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. Please note there are restrictions on property installation in the area surrounding Nanki-Shirahama Airport under the Aviation Act.
The location is exceptionally convenient for a resort property. The famous Shirarahama Beach, with its iconic white sands, is only about a 10-minute walk (approximately 750 meters) away. The Shirahama Onsen Saki-no-Yu hot spring facility is about a 15-minute walk. For access, Nanki-Shirahama Airport is just a 4-minute drive, and the Kisei Main Line's Shirahama Station is about an 11-minute drive. The Kisei Expressway's Nanki-Shirahama Interchange is approximately a 10-minute drive away.
The surrounding area of Shirahama is one of western Japan's premier coastal resort destinations, famed for its hot springs, dramatic coastal scenery, and relaxed atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that the sand of Shirarahama Beach is not naturally white; it was historically imported from Australia to create its stunning appearance, though conservation efforts now focus on preserving the local coastline. Beyond the beach, a major landmark is the ancient Kumano Nachi Taisha Grand Shrine, part of the UNESCO World Heritage "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range," located within a reasonable drive and offering a profound cultural counterpoint to the area's natural beauty.
