Serene Forest Retreat in Karuizawa
Nestled within the lush, natural environment of Karuizawa, this charming two-story detached villa offers a unique living experience on a sloping lot, featuring a second-floor entrance. The property, known as "Seseragi no Mori," presents a 2LDK layout with a total floor area of 67.06 sqm. Built in July 1987, the wooden structure is designed to harmonize with its serene, wooded surroundings.
Key equipment and facilities include electricity supplied by Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. (中部電力（株）), LP gas for individual use, a private water supply, and a gas water heater. The property features a wood-burning stove and an air conditioner in the LDK for climate control. Wastewater is managed via an individual purification tank. The villa includes parking space for two vehicles.
Special notes from the agent highlight important considerations. For television viewing, a new antenna installation would be required; however, even with installation, weak signals due to tree obstructions may result in poor reception. Furthermore, the existing building does not comply with the current road setback regulation (requiring 5.0 meters from the road boundary). Therefore, if the structure were to be rebuilt, it could not be constructed in the same location. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate handover.
The area of Karuizawa is renowned as a premier highland resort, famous for its cool summers, beautiful nature, and upscale shopping. An interesting fact is that Karuizawa was a favorite summer getaway for the Japanese imperial family and has since become a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists. The closest major landmark is the historic Karuizawa Ginza shopping street, approximately a 5-minute drive (1.8 km) away, offering a charming array of boutiques, cafes, and local crafts.
