Convenient 3LDK House on a Hilltop in Nagano's Scholar Village
This property is a well-designed 3LDK detached house situated on a spacious hilltop plot within the first phase of the "Scholar Village" vacation home area in Nagawa Town, Nagano Prefecture. Built in July 1992, the house offers a total floor area of 90.25 sqm, thoughtfully arranged over two stories. The first floor features a generous 16-tatami mat combined living, dining, and kitchen area alongside a 7.5-tatami Japanese-style room. The second floor comprises one 6-tatami Japanese-style room and one 6-tatami Western-style room, providing versatile living spaces. Ample storage is available throughout, including closets in every room and additional storage in the entrance and hallways, ensuring a tidy and efficient use of space.
The property's equipment and facilities are clearly detailed. Electricity is supplied by Chubu Electric Power, water by the town's public water system, and gas by individual propane tanks. For wastewater, the system uses a combination of a natural seepage pit for miscellaneous drainage and a simple flush system with pump-out for sewage. Key amenities like the bath, washbasin vanity, toilet, and water heater are in good condition, having been replaced approximately seven years ago.
The land itself is a significant feature, spanning 859 sqm (approximately 259 tsubo) on an elevated site. The slope provides excellent views and ventilation, while the front of the property offers parking space for multiple vehicles. The area is part of a town-managed vacation home district, which includes convenient services like an on-demand reservation bus system and school shuttle microbuses, making it an accessible option for those considering a countryside lifestyle. Annual running costs include a management fee of 39,600 yen, property tax of approximately 25,600 yen, land lease fees of 30,065 yen, and local resident tax of 5,500 yen.
