Charming 2LDK Vacation Home in Karuizawa with Open Layout
This attractive two-story vacation home, built in December 2008, is located in the convenient Nakakaruizawa Minami area of the prestigious Karuizawa resort town. The property features a 2LDK layout with a total floor area of 99.88 sqm (approximately 30.21 tsubo), spread across two floors. A key highlight is the bright and airy living-dining room, which benefits from openings on three sides, ensuring excellent natural light and ventilation throughout the space.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with electricity supplied by Chubu Electric Power Company. It utilizes LP gas on an individual system for cooking and a gas water heater for hot water. Water is supplied by the public waterworks, and wastewater is managed by a private purification tank. The property includes parking space for two vehicles.
Important special notes have been provided. The existing building does not comply with the required setback regulation (a minimum of 3.0 meters from the neighboring boundary line), meaning it cannot be rebuilt in the same location if reconstruction is necessary. Furthermore, while the property currently uses a private purification tank, it is located within an area where public sewerage is being developed. Therefore, the town may require a future connection to the public sewer system. The property is currently vacant and ready for handover.
The Nakakaruizawa area offers excellent convenience, with amenities like Super Tsuruya supermarket and a home center just a short drive away. The property is approximately a 7-minute drive (about 2.8km) from the Nakakaruizawa Station on the Shinano Railway line. Karuizawa is renowned as a premier mountain resort, famous for its cool summers, beautiful natural scenery, and upscale shopping. A fascinating fact about the area is that it was one of the first places in Japan to adopt Western-style vacationing in the late 19th century, popularized by foreign missionaries and the Japanese aristocracy. The closest major landmark is the stunning Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza, a large outlet mall set against a picturesque backdrop, which is a major tourist attraction in the region.
