Expansive Forested Land in Karuizawa with National Forest Backdrop
This is a spacious 1,991.1 square meter (approximately 602.3 tsubo) plot of land located in the Nakakaruizawa (Northern) area of Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture. The property is situated on a quiet road with an asphalt surface, offering a unique living experience surrounded by nature. The northern boundary of the land adjoins a national forest, providing a scenic borrowed landscape, and a clear stream flows along the edge of the property. The land is mostly flat and offers good sunlight while being enveloped by the forest.
The property has a well on site, which was used when a previous building stood on the land, and this can be used for watering the garden. The site is currently vacant land (更地). The property is zoned as Category 1 Low-Rise Residential Zone, with a building coverage ratio of 20% and a floor area ratio of 20%. The road frontage is a public road to the south, approximately 4 meters wide with a frontage of about 33.8 meters.
Equipment and facilities include electricity from Chubu Electric Power, individual propane gas, and private water supply. Sewage and wastewater treatment will require a septic tank (浄化槽). Important notes from the listing include: a water association joining fee of 770,000 yen (tax included); a reference fixed asset tax of 119,933 yen per year (for fiscal year 2025); the front road is a Section 2 road, meaning a survey may require setbacks or removal of structures; and a private water main pipe crosses the property, so construction must avoid this area. A portion of the land lies outside the urban planning area, and if the site is used as a single integrated plot for building, a development permit may be required.
The property is located approximately 11 minutes by car (about 5.1 km) from Nakakaruizawa Station on the Shinano Railway Line. The land is in a tranquil area surrounded by nature, with the owner noting the cool, delicious water from the nearby stream.
