Expansive Land in the Historic Happy Valley of Old Karuizawa

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a vast plot of land in the historic 'Happy Valley' (幸福の谷) district of Old Karuizawa, a prestigious and sought-after vacation home area. The land spans an expansive 6,123.70 square meters (approx. 1,852.41 tsubo), offering a rare sense of space and privacy. The site features a gentle slope with a mix of flat and inclined terrain, and includes a set-back area of approximately 93.60 square meters. It is important to note that the land also includes a drainage channel (用悪水路). The property benefits from road access on two sides, with a private road to the northwest (width 2m, frontage 76m) and another to the south (width 2.8m, frontage 31.8m).

The property is situated in an area designated as a Category 1 Low-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone, with a building coverage ratio of 20% and a floor area ratio of 20%. Utilities include electricity from Chubu Electric Power, propane gas, and public water supply. Sewage and wastewater are managed by an individual septic tank (個別浄化槽). The land is classified as forest land (山林) under the non-drawn city planning area.

While an old building existed on the site, it has already been removed. The northeastern part of the land is a raised, flat area that offers potential for excellent views if a new building is constructed there. A notable feature is the presence of a building designed by a famous architect on the property, which has been recognized as a culturally important asset under the Karuizawa Blue Plaque system. The current owner is seeking a new caretaker who will appreciate and maintain this historic legacy. The location is convenient, being approximately 2.6 km (about a 6-minute drive) from Karuizawa Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen. It is also about 1.2 km from the Old Karuizawa Ginza shopping street and 1 km from the historic Mampei Hotel.
