Villa in Nasu Highlands with Potential for Minpaku Business
As detailed in the agent's notes, the land area calculation is specific: the listed land size of 1,394.2 sqm is the registered (public ledger) area. From this, an estimated private road area of 169.80 sqm (based on a land survey map) is deducted to determine the usable plot. The property is equipped with electricity supplied by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), LP gas for individual use, public water supply, a gas water heater, and an individual septic tank system for drainage. Parking is available for two vehicles. A critical note for future planning states that the existing building does not comply with current setback regulations; therefore, if rebuilt, it cannot be constructed in the same location.
The villa is situated at an elevation of approximately 658 meters, offering a cool climate. Convenience is provided by a supermarket about 4.7 km away (an 8-minute drive) and a convenience store within 360 meters (a 5-minute walk). Access is straightforward, being about 9.7 km (a 15-minute drive) from the Nasu Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway and about 30 minutes by car from JR Tohoku Shinkansen's Nasushiobara Station. A significant advantage for owners is that the property is located outside a managed villa community, meaning there are no monthly management fees.
The surrounding Nasu region is a renowned resort area in Tochigi Prefecture, famous for its hot springs, lush highland scenery, and outdoor activities. An interesting local fact is that the Nasu area is part of a volcanic plateau and is home to the Nasu Animal Kingdom, a popular safari park and zoo. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Nasu, an active volcanic group offering hiking trails and panoramic views, which dominates the skyline and defines the character of this popular getaway destination.
