Spacious 8LDK Villa with Panoramic Views in Karuizawa's Old Mikasa Park
Critical agent notes provide essential details. The equipment includes electricity supplied by Chubu Electric Power Co. The total floor area of 479.74 sqm includes the built-in garage area of approximately 16.38 sqm. For corporate buyers, it is important to note that annual common area management fees would be 251,900 yen (tax included) and annual basic water charges would be 34,100 yen (tax included). For personal/villa use, the running costs are lower, with common management fees at 101,200 yen/year and basic water charges at 17,600 yen/year. The property is sold 'as-is,' with the seller exempt from liability for non-conformities. It is also located within a sediment disaster warning zone (yellow zone) and a sediment disaster special warning zone (red zone). Due to existing height (limited to 2 stories) and floor area ratio (20%) restrictions, new construction on the site cannot replicate the current building's scale.
The area surrounding this property is the heart of classic Karuizawa, known for its cool summer climate, lush forests, and upscale atmosphere. An interesting fact is that Karuizawa became a popular summer retreat for foreign diplomats and the Japanese elite in the late 19th century after being discovered by a Canadian missionary. The closest major landmark is the historic Karuizawa Station, a key stop on the Hokuriku Shinkansen line, approximately an 11-minute drive (4.6km) away. The region is also famed for its proximity to natural wonders and cultural sites, making it a premier destination for both relaxation and outdoor activities.
