Summer Retreat and Winter Snowscape Villa in Saku, Nagano
This property is a vacation home located in a highland area of Saku City, Nagano Prefecture. The seller acquired it from the previous owner, carried out renovations, and has been using it for stays approximately twice a month. Situated at an elevation of about 1,200 meters, it serves as an excellent summer retreat, while in winter, the landscape is covered in snow. The house is equipped with five FF-type gas heaters, installed in each bedroom, the washroom, the dining kitchen, and the living room. The water pipe freeze prevention heaters are also fully functional, ensuring comfortable stays even during the cold season. Access to the property requires a car. It is approximately a 25-minute drive to Saku Ski Garden Parada and about 50 minutes to Karuizawa Prince Hotel Ski Resort. The property is located within a vacation home area. According to inquiries made to the management company, there are no regulations prohibiting private lodging (minpaku), provided it does not cause a nuisance to neighbors. Currently, the property is not being operated as a private lodging, so the new owner would need to file the necessary notification for the House Lodging Business Act. All furniture shown in the photographs is included, and the property is ready for immediate handover. However, there is no boundary marker with the adjacent vacant lot, which may make it difficult to obtain financing for the purchase.
