Vacant Land in Karuizawa's Tsurudame Resort Area
This property is a substantial 960.44 square meter (approximately 290.53 tsubo) plot of land located within the Tsurudame resort area of Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture. The land is situated on a southeast-facing slope, offering expansive views, and is currently a vacant lot following the demolition of a previous villa. The site is designated for residential use within a Category I Low-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone, with building coverage and floor area ratios both set at 20%. Important agent notes specify that the electricity service is provided by Chubu Electric Power Co., and the gas supply is via individual LP gas tanks. The water supply is from a private water system, and wastewater is handled by an individual septic tank.
Critical purchase conditions are outlined in the agent's remarks. Firstly, the sale of this land is based on the registered (public ledger) area. Even if an actual survey reveals an increase or decrease in the land size, no financial adjustment will be made. Secondly, after a building is constructed on the property, an annual association fee of 80,000 yen (non-taxable) will apply. The property is also noted to be within a sediment disaster warning area (yellow zone).
The area of Karuizawa is a world-renowned highland resort, famous for its cool summers, beautiful natural scenery, and historic architecture. An interesting fact is that Karuizawa was a favorite summer getaway for the Japanese imperial family and has long been associated with international culture, partly due to its connection with Canadian missionary Alexander Croft Shaw. The closest major landmark is the historic Karuizawa Ginza shopping street, a popular tourist destination known for its charming boutiques, cafes, and local crafts, located within a short drive from the property.
