Vacant Land in Karuizawa's Serene Chigataki Resort Area
This 807 square meter vacant lot is located within the prestigious Chigataki Resort Area's Yamano-te District in Karuizawa. The property features a gentle south-facing slope and fronts a paved private road, offering an open and sunny setting ideal for a vacation home. It is situated approximately 1.3 km (about a 3-minute drive) from National Route 146, providing convenient access while maintaining a peaceful, secluded atmosphere.
According to the agent's notes, the electrical service for the property is provided by Chubu Electric Power Co. A critical point regarding the sale is that the transaction is based on the registered (公簿) land area. This means there will be no price adjustment or settlement, even if an actual survey measurement reveals an increase or decrease in the land size. Furthermore, while management fees are mentioned, they are noted as being based on a voluntary contract (任意契約), offering potential flexibility for the owner.
Additional construction details are provided: the water supply main runs along the front road, requiring a separate connection to be built to the site. At the time of construction, there is a maximum building area and total floor area limit of 200 square meters. The property is subject to various regulations, including the Nagano Prefecture Landscape Ordinance and Karuizawa Town's Nature Conservation Measures, with specific height restrictions of 10 meters or two stories and required setbacks from boundaries.
The surrounding Karuizawa area is a world-renowned highland resort, famous for its cool summers, beautiful natural scenery, and rich history as a summer retreat. An interesting fact is that Karuizawa was the location of the 1998 Winter Olympics curling competitions. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Asama, an active volcano that dominates the skyline and is one of Japan's most iconic and frequently climbed peaks.
