Elevated 300-Tsubo Land Parcel in the Highland Retreat of Kawakami Village
This property offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial plot of land within the serene and elevated landscapes of Nagano Prefecture. The land, spanning approximately 300 tsubo (1,001㎡), is situated in Kawakami Village's managed villa area known as "Taketodani Heights." The area is characterized by its location amidst a forest, dotted with villas, and is primarily used for vacation homes. The terrain slopes gently to the west and is populated with deciduous trees such as white birch, creating a private, natural setting. The surrounding environment is enveloped in birdsong and crisp, clean air, providing a profoundly calming atmosphere.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with access to electricity and the possibility of connecting to public water supply. It is important to note the associated fees: a management and common area fee of 6,000 JPY per year before any building is constructed, which increases to 18,000 JPY per year after construction. Additionally, there is an annual water charge of 18,600 JPY (excluding tax). The land is classified as forest land and is located outside of urban planning zones, with a building coverage ratio of 20% and a floor area ratio of 40%.
Kawakami Village, situated in the highlands of southern Nagano, is renowned as Japan's premier lettuce-producing region, thanks to the significant temperature variation between day and night that produces delicious crops. The village offers a cool summer escape with crisp winters. An interesting regional fact is that the entire village sits over 1,000 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest municipalities in Japan. The area is a gateway to outdoor recreation, with the majestic Southern Japan Alps and the scenic highland resort area of Tateshina Plateau located nearby, offering hiking, skiing, and breathtaking panoramic views.
