Scholar Village Phase 1 SKYBLUE Corner Log House in Nagano
This distinctive property is the Scholar Village Phase 1 SKYBLUE corner log house, a charming vacation home nestled in the mountains of Nagawa Town, Nagano Prefecture. Priced at 8.8 million yen, this log cabin has undergone a comprehensive renovation, transforming its exterior into a vibrant two-tone blue and grey color scheme that stands out beautifully against the surrounding greenery. The renovation included roof repair and painting, exterior wall cleaning and painting, waterproofing treatment for the log joints, and the addition of steel plate covers on the deck handrails and lower exterior walls to protect against water splash and reduce future maintenance.
The property's facilities include electricity from Chubu Electric Power, town water supply, individual propane gas, and a simple flush (cesspit) toilet system. The house itself offers 102.5 sqm of living space across two floors, with a layout of 1LDK plus a loft space. The interior has been thoroughly cleaned, with the kitchen faucet replaced and a new gas stove installed, making it move-in ready. The east-facing, sloped 755 sqm lot provides a sense of seclusion within the vacation home community, yet access is straightforward via a simple route with unpaved roads that are relatively easy to navigate.
The Scholar Village vacation home area is situated at an elevation of approximately 800 meters and is noted for its convenience, with hot spring facilities, supermarkets, convenience stores, home centers, and a general hospital all within a 10-minute drive. The local administration actively supports the area, offering on-demand bus services with smartphone booking and school shuttle microbuses. An interesting feature of the area is the release of phytoncides—aromatic compounds from the pine trees—which are believed to promote mental relaxation and balance. The property is located in Nagawa Town, part of the scenic Chūbu region, with the majestic Yatsugatake mountain range and the popular Lake Suwa within easy reach for outdoor enthusiasts.
