Sunlight Forest: A Spacious Highland Plot in Karuizawa
This property is a spacious 1,032.00 square meter land plot located in the "Sunlight Forest" (太陽の森) area of Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture. Situated on elevated ground, the plot offers a sense of openness and privacy, with surrounding villas not posing a concern. The villa area features a management office at its entrance, providing peace of mind for owners during their absence.
According to the agent's notes, the property's utilities are provided by Chubu Electric Power Co. (中部電力（株）). A critical special note is provided: ※This land is bought and sold based on the registered area (公簿面積). Even if the actual measured area increases or decreases, there will be no settlement adjustment. This means the transaction price is fixed to the official registered size of 1,032.00 sqm, regardless of any minor discrepancies found in a future survey.
The land is designated as woodland (山林) and faces a private road to the south. It is located within an Urban Planning Area, specifically a Category I Low-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone, with a floor area ratio of 20% and a building coverage ratio of 20%. Other regulations include the Nagano Prefecture Landscape Ordinance and the Karuizawa Town Nature Conservation Measures Outline. The property is sold as vacant land in its current condition and is ready for transfer.
The Karuizawa area is a renowned highland resort, famous for its cool summers and beautiful natural scenery. An interesting fact is that Karuizawa was one of the first places in Japan where Western-style summer villas became popular in the late 19th century, attracting diplomats and intellectuals. The closest major landmark is the Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza, a large outlet mall approximately a 5-minute drive away, offering high-end shopping and dining amidst a resort-like atmosphere.
