Land with Existing House in the Serene Nagakura-Tsurudame Area of Karuizawa
This property is a quiet, wooded plot of land with an existing house, located in the Nagakura-Tsurudame area of Karuizawa. The site offers a peaceful environment with many remaining trees. The land area is 474.50 square meters (approximately 143.53 tsubo). The property includes an old house built in May 1974, which is a single-story wooden structure with a zinc-galvanized steel sheet roof. The total floor area of this existing house is 66.08 square meters (19.98 tsubo).
Critical agent notes have been provided. The equipment includes electricity from Chubu Electric Power Co. The special remarks state: "※This land is bought and sold based on registered area (公簿面積). Even if the actual measured area increases or decreases, there will be no settlement (price adjustment)." Furthermore, there is an annual water association fee for the well water of 80,000 yen (including tax).
Important notes for potential buyers: The existing old house does not comply with the setback regulation (it is within 3.0 meters of the neighboring boundary line). Therefore, if rebuilding, construction cannot be in the same location as the current house. The area has no winter water supply. Water and sewer pipes for this and other plots may pass through the property, and cooperation may be required for excavation work for maintenance. The site is suitable for parking two cars. The land is zoned as Category 1 Low-Rise Exclusive Residential District, with a building coverage ratio of 20% and a floor area ratio of 20%.
The area, part of the Karuizawa resort town in Nagano Prefecture, is renowned for its cool summers, beautiful nature, and upscale atmosphere. An interesting fact is that Karuizawa became a popular summer retreat for foreigners and the Japanese elite after being discovered by Canadian missionary Alexander Croft Shaw in the late 19th century. The closest major landmark is the iconic active volcano, Mount Asama, which dominates the skyline and is a popular destination for hikers and sightseers.
