Vacant Land for Sale in Karuizawa's Miyota District
This flat, vacant plot of land, designated as residential land, is located in the desirable Miyota district of Karuizawa. The property, known as the Miyota Izuna Subdivision E, offers a generous area of 332.98 square meters (approximately 100.72 tsubo). It is conveniently situated about 2.3 km, or a 6-minute drive, from Miyota Station on the Shinano Railway line. The site is serviced by two paved roads: a public road approximately 5.1 meters wide on the east side and a private road approximately 6.0 meters wide on the northwest side.
Essential utilities are available at the frontage of the roads. The property is connected to Chubu Electric Power Company for electricity, LP gas via an individual system, and public water supply. For drainage and sewage, the public sewer system is accessible, though separate connection work to the site will be required. A critical note is that a one-time sewerage beneficiary contribution fee of 650 yen per square meter applies.
This land sale is based on the registered (公簿) area. The agent's special notes explicitly state: "This land is bought and sold based on the registered area, and there will be no adjustment or settlement even if the actual measured area increases or decreases." Furthermore, the property is sold with a building condition. The buyer must enter into a construction contract with a builder of their choice within 90 days of the initial deposit contract with the seller. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of the sale and a full refund of the purchase price. The land is designated for self-use residential purposes only, such as a primary home or a vacation villa.
The area surrounding Karuizawa is renowned for its cool summers, beautiful natural scenery, and rich cultural history. An interesting fact is that Karuizawa became a popular summer retreat for foreign diplomats and the Japanese elite in the late 19th century after being discovered by a Canadian missionary. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Asama, an active volcano and one of Japan's most famous peaks, which dominates the skyline and offers stunning views and hiking opportunities.
