Spacious Large-Scale Property in a Convenient South Karuizawa Location
This property offers a substantial wooden single-story building situated on a vast plot of approximately 2,061 tsubo (6,815 m²) in the Minami-Karuizawa (South Karuizawa) area. The building boasts a total floor area of 621.21 m² and features a 4LDK layout plus a garage. The property is currently in use and is being sold by the owner, who notes that while they are not currently using it, they believe it is ideal for large families, multiple families living together, or as a company recreational facility (besso). The agent highlights the property's excellent convenience due to its proximity to the Karuizawa 18 Bypass, its large site of over 2,000 tsubo, and the long approach from the road to the building, which ensures strong privacy.
Key details from the listing include: Electricity is provided by Chubu Electric Power, gas is individual propane gas, and water is from the public water supply. Hot water is supplied by gas, and wastewater is treated by an individual septic tank (combined type). The current land category is listed as forest and raw land, and the area is partially a buffer zone. Important caveats from the agent notes state that the property is sold with a disclaimer of liability for contractual non-conformity. The front road is a Section 2 road, meaning that based on survey results, there may be a requirement to set back the building or remove structures. When rebuilding, if the site is used as a single parcel, a development permit may be necessary. There is a possibility that a water pipe belonging to Karuizawa Town runs within the property. There is an unregistered house on the property, which violates the town ordinance's setback restrictions, meaning that rebuilding in the same position may not be possible.
The property features a large entrance hall, a spacious living and dining area suitable for large gatherings, a large Japanese-style room with a built-in decorative shelf at its entrance, and a large bathroom. There are four toilets. A garage and an external storage shed are also present, and the site offers ample parking space for multiple vehicles. The property is located in an area zoned as Category 1 Low-Rise Residential Zone with a building coverage ratio of 20% and a floor area ratio of 20% (and 30%/50% in some parts). The land is flat and fronts a 7-meter-wide public road to the south with a frontage of 50.6 meters. It is about a 9-minute drive (approx. 4.1 km) from Karuizawa Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen.
