Spacious Land Parcel with Views of Mount Asama in Karuizawa's Miyota
This expansive 1,707.65 square meter (approximately 516 tsubo) flat land parcel is situated in a quiet, wooded area of Miyota, just a 3-minute drive (about 1.3 km) from Miyota Station on the Shinano Railway Line. The property benefits from frontage on a roughly 9.7-meter wide asphalt-paved road on its southeast side, providing excellent visibility and access. From the northern part of the site, you can enjoy views of the iconic Mount Asama.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for potential buyers. The property's electricity service is provided by Chubu Electric Power Co. It is crucial to note that the sale of this land is based on the registered (公簿) area. Even if an actual survey measurement shows an increase or decrease in size, there will be no financial adjustment. Furthermore, a one-time, lump-sum sewerage beneficiary contribution fee of 650 yen per square meter applies.
The land is designated as forest land (山林) and falls within an Urban Planning Area. Zoning is for Category 1 Low-Rise Exclusive Residential use, with a building coverage ratio of 40% and a floor area ratio of 60%. Other regulations include height restrictions (10 meters maximum) and setback requirements. Utilities including public water supply and public sewerage are available in the front road, though separate connection work to the site is required. Please note there is a utility pole within the property boundaries.
The surrounding Karuizawa region is a world-renowned highland resort area, famous for its cool summers, beautiful nature, and sophisticated atmosphere. An interesting historical fact is that Karuizawa became a popular summer retreat for foreign diplomats and missionaries in the late 19th century, helping to establish its international character. The closest major tourist attraction is the majestic Mount Asama, an active volcano and one of Japan's most famous peaks, which is visible from the property itself and offers hiking and spectacular scenery.
