Vacant Land in Karuizawa's Serene Ogidaira Villa Area
This 2,183 square meter plot of land is situated within the lush, natural surroundings of the Ogidaira Villa Area in Karuizawa. The property offers a rare opportunity to build a custom retreat in one of Japan's most prestigious resort towns. The land is designated as forest land and is bordered by an approximately 4.0-meter-wide private, unpaved road on its north side.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for potential buyers. The equipment and utilities are noted as follows: electricity is supplied by Chubu Electric Power Co., gas is via individual LP gas tanks, water is from a private water supply, and drainage utilizes an individual septic tank. Important remarks clarify the terms of sale: "This land is bought and sold based on the registered area (公簿面積). Even if the actual measured area increases or decreases, there will be no settlement or adjustment." Furthermore, a significant one-time water facility membership fee of 600,000 yen (tax included) is required at the time of building construction. After construction, an annual building management fee of 90,000 yen (tax included) will be necessary.
The area is governed by zoning regulations typical for a premier villa district, including a floor area ratio of 20%, a building coverage ratio of 20%, and height restrictions limiting structures to two stories or 10 meters. Setback requirements mandate buildings be at least 5.0 meters from the road boundary and 3.0 meters from neighboring property lines.
Karizawa is renowned as a summer retreat for its cool climate, beautiful natural scenery, and rich history as a meeting place for international dignitaries. An interesting fact is that the town hosted part of the equestrian events during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The closest major landmark is the iconic Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza, a large outlet mall built on a former golf course, which is a major tourist attraction for both shopping and its picturesque setting.
