Prime Vacant Land in Karuizawa's Nakakaruizawa Minami Area
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, flat plot of land in the highly sought-after Nakakaruizawa Minami area of Karuizawa. The lot spans approximately 1,935 square meters (about 585 tsubo) and benefits from excellent sunlight and access from two sides via public roads. Its prime location places it within a short, roughly 5-minute walk (approximately 350 meters) from the prestigious Karuizawa Country Club, making it an ideal setting for a luxury villa or retreat.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The property's utilities are supplied by Chubu Electric Power Co. (中部電力(株)). A crucial special note states: "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 (price adjustment)." This means the transaction price is fixed to the official registered size, regardless of any minor variations found in a future survey.
The land is designated as "wilderness" (原野) and is situated in an area without specific zoning regulations, offering flexibility for development within the defined building coverage ratio of 20% and floor area ratio of 20%. Other regulations include local landscape ordinances and height restrictions. The site is currently vacant land (更地) and ready for immediate transfer upon purchase. Buyers should note the presence of a high-voltage power line crossing the southeastern part of the airspace above the property, affecting approximately 189 square meters of the land below it.
The surrounding Karuizawa region is a world-renowned highland resort, famed for its cool summers, pristine nature, and sophisticated atmosphere. 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 character. The area is dotted with famous tourist attractions, with the majestic active volcano, Mount Asama, being a dominant and awe-inspiring natural landmark visible from many parts of the town.
