Vacant Land for Custom Villa in Karuizawa's Miyota Area
This 298.38 square meter (approximately 90.25 tsubo) plot of land is located in the quiet residential area of Miyota, Karuizawa. The property is situated within a short 4-minute drive (about 1.4 km) from Miyota Minami Elementary School, offering a serene setting for a vacation home. The land is designated for residential use and is sold with a building condition: the purchaser must sign a construction contract with a builder of their choice within 90 days of the initial deposit agreement with the seller. If this condition is not met, the sales contract is voided, and the purchase price is fully refunded.
Essential utilities are available. The electricity provider is Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. Water is supplied by the public waterworks, and sewage is handled by the public sewer system. It is important to note that while the water and sewage lines are installed in the front road, separate connection work to the lot is required. Gas will be via individual LP gas tanks.
Critical agent notes have been provided. The property sale is based on the registered (公簿) area. There will be no price adjustment or settlement if the actual measured area differs from this registered size. Furthermore, a one-time Sewerage Beneficiary Contribution fee of 650 yen per square meter applies to the purchaser.
The land is subject to several regulations, including the Nagano Prefecture Landscape Ordinance (Asama Mountain Foothills Landscape Development Priority Area) and local Miyota Town environmental and development guidelines. Building restrictions include a maximum height of 20 meters and required setbacks of 0.5 meters from both road and neighboring property boundaries. The floor area ratio is 200% and the building coverage ratio is 60%.
The Miyota area offers a peaceful, mountainous retreat within the greater Karuizawa region, known as a premier summer resort since the Meiji era. An interesting local fact is that the area is dominated by the majestic Mount Asama, one of Japan's most active volcanoes, which last erupted in 2015. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza, a large outlet mall built around a picturesque pond, approximately a 15-minute drive from the property.
