Vacation Home in Asama Sunland with Minpaku Potential
Nestled within the serene forests of Tsumagoi Village in Gunma Prefecture, this detached vacation home offers a peaceful retreat with the added potential for minpaku (short-term rental) operations. Located in the Asama Sunland villa area, the property sits at an elevation of approximately 970 meters, surrounded by nature and tranquility. The flat, corner lot spans 345 square meters and is enveloped by trees, providing a secluded atmosphere. While the land requires underbrush clearing, it includes a dedicated parking space.
The house itself, built in September 1970 (Showa 45), features a light-gauge steel structure with a zinc-galvanized steel plate roof in a single-story layout. Despite its age, the interior has been renovated to create a cozy, cabin-like feel with wood-paneled ceilings, walls, and floors. The layout is a comfortable 2LDK, comprising one 4.5-tatami Japanese-style room and one approximately 6-tatami Western-style room. A welcoming wood-burning stove in the living area adds warmth and character. Critical updates were made approximately 12 years ago, including the replacement of the toilet and the addition of water supply taps for the washing machine and hot water.
The property's utilities are clearly outlined. Water is supplied by the public water system, and electricity is provided by Tokyo Electric Power Company. There is no gas line, as cooking is facilitated by an IH cooking heater. Wastewater is managed by a private septic tank system.
The Asama Sunland area itself is a well-equipped resort community, featuring amenities such as an auto-campground, barbecue areas, exhibition halls, ping-pong tables, and tennis courts. It is conveniently accessible, about a 10-minute drive from the JR Agatsuma Line's Manza-Kazawaguchi Station. The region is part of the sprawling Joshin'etsu Kogen National Park, a vast protected area renowned for its volcanic landscapes, highland marshes, and rich biodiversity. A major nearby landmark is the iconic Mount Asama, one of Japan's most active volcanoes, offering dramatic scenery and numerous hiking trails around its foothills.
