Scholars Village Phase 2: A Scenic Deck Retreat in Nagano
This property is a charming vacation home located in the Scholars Village Phase 2 villa area of Nagawa Town, Nagano Prefecture. Situated at an elevation of approximately 900 meters, the area offers cool summers and winters with relatively light snowfall. The villa is positioned on a quiet, elevated plot within the D district, providing a sense of privacy and excellent views.
The property features a 2DK layout with a dining space at the center, flanked by a Western-style room and a Japanese-style room. The living room and Japanese room face southwest, ensuring good sunlight and ventilation. A key highlight is the terrace deck, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding natural environment, allowing you to fully enjoy the clear, fresh air. The approach to the entrance, while involving an incline, is well-maintained and relatively easy to navigate, offering a bit of healthy exercise.
According to the agent's special notes, the property's utilities are supplied by Chubu Electric Power, town water, individual propane gas, and a septic tank system (cesspool). Recent maintenance includes the installation of a brand-new, unused bath faucet (note that photos may show the old type) and repairs to the external water supply pipe.
This villa is recommended for those skilled in DIY or anyone seeking a budget-friendly base in Shinshu. The villa area is renowned for the release of phytoncides, aromatic compounds from the pine trees, which are believed to promote mental relaxation and balance. Conveniently, amenities such as hot spring facilities, supermarkets, convenience stores, home centers, and a general hospital are all within about a 10-minute drive.
The surrounding area of Nagawa Town is part of the scenic Shinshu region, known for its mountainous landscapes and outdoor recreation. An interesting local fact is that the town is home to the Tateshina Plateau, a popular resort area with stunning volcanic landscapes. The closest major landmark is the majestic Yatsugatake Mountain Range, a celebrated destination for hiking, skiing, and enjoying breathtaking alpine vistas throughout the year.
