Expansive Sloping Land for Countryside Living in Saku, Nagano
This property offers a rare opportunity to embrace a serene countryside lifestyle on a spacious, gently sloping south-facing plot of land in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture. The land, with a total area of 1,368 square meters (approximately 413.82 tsubo), is situated on the Mikobahara Plateau in the former Mochizuki Town area. It provides a quiet, rural atmosphere where you can fully enjoy the tranquility of the satoyama landscape.
According to the agent's notes, the property is currently classified as farmland within an agricultural promotion area, but its present state is wooded. The majority of the plot is mixed forest, with a central section consisting of a Hirayama cedar grove. For residential use, agricultural land conversion permission is required for up to 500 square meters. The remaining area would be subject to provisional registration for the time being. This setting allows for a relaxed country life without excessive concern for the surroundings. The property boasts expansive, open views and offers a fine vista of Mount Asama. A fellow 'Furusato' association member already lives within the settlement, providing a sense of community and support. Public water supply is available at the road frontage. Please note that approximately one year is required from inquiry to the handover of the property.
The land fronts a paved public road approximately 3 meters wide on its north side. Utilities include the potential for electricity connection, public water supply, and a required combined septic tank (jukou). It is located outside a designated urban planning area and has no specified land use zoning, with a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 100%.
The surrounding area of Saku City is part of the beautiful Nagano Prefecture, known for its clean air, outdoor activities, and rich history. An interesting local fact is that Saku is famous for its high-quality dairy products and Saku beef, a prized brand of Wagyu. The region is also a gateway to numerous outdoor and cultural attractions. The closest major landmark is the magnificent Mount Asama, an active volcano and one of Japan's most iconic mountains, which is visible from the property and offers hiking and stunning natural scenery.
