This 3LDK detached villa is located in the desirable Chigataki Villa Area "Seseragi no Sato" in Karuizawa. It offers a prime location approximately a 13-minute walk (about 1000m) from Harunire Terrace, making it an ideal base for leisure activities. The property is also conveniently situated about a 7-minute drive (approx. 2.8km) from Nakakaruizawa Station and a 3-minute walk (approx. 210m) from the Chigataki Villa Area management office.
The property features a total floor area of 117.20 sqm (35.45 tsubo) across two stories, with a generous land area of 459.15 sqm (138.89 tsubo). It was constructed in November 1978 as a two-story wooden structure with a zinc-galvanized steel sheet roof. Key facilities and equipment include a carport and a car space, both accommodating one vehicle each. The property is serviced by Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. for electricity, LP gas for individual gas supply, a private water system, and an individual septic tank for drainage. Heating in the LDK is provided by a gas stove.
Critical agent notes have been provided. The equipment/facilities are listed as Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. Special remarks indicate there are unregistered sections separately (sunroom, storage space). An additional note states that management is on a voluntary contract basis.
Important notes for potential buyers include the presence of a water channel on the east side of the property (partly underground). The existing building does not comply with setback regulations (3.0m from neighboring land, 5.0m from the road boundary), meaning it cannot be rebuilt in the same location if reconstruction is necessary. The property is also located within the Kumazawa Type 1 Scenic District. The transaction is an agency sale, and the property is currently occupied with handover timing open for discussion.
The surrounding Karuizawa area is a renowned highland resort, famous for its cool summers, beautiful nature, and upscale shopping outlets. An interesting historical 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 area is also close to major tourist attractions like the historic Kumoba Pond, a serene spot popular for walking and enjoying seasonal foliage.
