Critical agent notes provide essential details for potential buyers. The property's utilities include electricity supplied by Chubu Electric Power Co. A crucial special note states: "This land is bought and sold based on the registered (public ledger) area. Even if the actual measured area increases or decreases, there will be no financial adjustment." Prospective buyers must be aware of this condition regarding the land size. Additional construction notes specify that the maximum building coverage and total floor area at the time of construction is 200 square meters. Furthermore, as there is no main water pipe on the front road (southwest side), installation work will be required when building. The land is also designated within a sediment disaster warning area (Yellow Zone) and a sediment disaster special warning area (Red Zone).
The location is exceptionally convenient for leisure, situated only about a 5-minute drive (approximately 2.2 km) from the O-Asama Golf Club. The area is served by public water supply and uses a private septic tank system. The land is zoned as Category I Low-Rise Exclusive Residential, with a building-to-land ratio of 30% and a floor area ratio of 50% (both subject to relaxation measures). Height restrictions are limited to 10 meters or two stories.
Karizawa is a world-renowned highland resort, famous for its cool summers, beautiful natural scenery, and vibrant cultural scene. An interesting historical fact is that Karuizawa became a popular summer escape for foreign diplomats and missionaries in the late 19th century, helping to establish its international resort status. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Asama, an active volcano that dominates the skyline and offers stunning views, hiking trails, and is a defining natural feature of the region.
