Vacant Land for Your Dream Villa in Karuizawa's Serene Senkatori District
This 984 m² plot of land is situated within the prestigious Senkatori Villa Area West District of Karuizawa, a premier resort town in Nagano Prefecture. The property is designated as Category I Low-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone, offering a peaceful, private environment surrounded by trees, ideal for crafting a custom holiday home or permanent retreat. The land is currently vacant, providing a blank canvas for your architectural vision, subject to building coverage and floor area ratios of 20% each.
Critical infrastructure notes have been provided by the agent. The electricity service is supplied by Chubu Electric Power Co. (中部電力(株)). Important remarks indicate that management services are on an optional contract basis (※管理は任意契約です。). Furthermore, several essential upgrades are required: an existing septic tank on the premises does not meet current standards and must be removed and replaced with a new system connected to the sewer manhole, which itself is aged and needs replacement. The existing water supply pipes are also deteriorated and require re-laying, along with the installation of a new water meter. The property's drainage pipe connects to a shared drainage pipe buried in the northeast adjacent land.
The area is part of the sought-after Karuizawa highlands, known for its cool summers, vibrant autumn colors, and sophisticated resort atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that Karuizawa was one of the first places in Japan to popularize Western-style villa culture in the late 19th century, attracting intellectuals, artists, and the imperial family. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Asama, an active volcano and one of Japan's most famous peaks, which provides a dramatic backdrop to the region and offers numerous hiking trails and scenic viewpoints.
