Villa in Karuizawa's Serene Izumigaoka Area
This 3LDK detached villa, located in the quiet, forested Izumigaoka villa area of Karuizawa, offers a classic resort lifestyle. Built in December 1991, this two-story wooden structure sits on a spacious 1,099.42 sqm plot (approximately 332.57 tsubo) with a total floor area of 105.26 sqm (approx. 31.84 tsubo). The property is positioned to offer winter views of Mount Asama through the trees from its wooden deck, providing a quintessential Karuizawa vista.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes electricity from Chubu Electric Power Co. and LP gas with an individual system. Critical special notes detail important financial considerations: the scheduled handover is planned for after April 2026. There is a one-time water supply burden fee of 770,000 yen (tax included). Additionally, separate fees apply for water shut-off and turn-on services: approximately 19,800 yen (tax included) for work between November 1 and around April 15 of the following year, and 22,000 yen (tax included) during the year-end/New Year period (requests cannot be made on January 1).
The villa features two car parking spaces and utilizes a private water supply with a gas water heater, and an individual septic tank for drainage. The property is noted to be within a sediment disaster warning area (yellow zone) and a sediment disaster special warning area (red zone). Renovation and repair work was conducted in September 2017, with details available in a separate document.
The surrounding Karuizawa area is one of Japan's most famous highland resorts, renowned for its cool summers, beautiful nature, and sophisticated atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that Karuizawa was a popular summer retreat for the Japanese imperial family and has long been associated with literary figures and artists. The closest major landmark is the iconic active volcano, Mount Asama, which dominates the skyline and is a popular destination for hikers and sightseers.
