This exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial, well-shaped plot of land within the prestigious Karuizawa Thousand Falls Resort Area East District. Encompassing approximately 309.45 tsubo (1,023 square meters), this quiet, tree-surrounded lot offers a blank canvas for your dream vacation home. The land is situated on high ground, providing scenic views of Mount Asama and the surrounding forest, allowing you to fully experience the distinct four seasons of Karuizawa.
Critical agent notes have been provided for this land sale. The property is being sold based on its registered (公簿) area. Importantly, there will be no price adjustment or settlement based on any increase or decrease found during an actual measured survey. Furthermore, access to the property from the western road is strictly prohibited. Entry must be arranged via the northern private road. Management of the resort area is based on a voluntary contract system, not a mandatory one.
The land is designated as Category I Low-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone, with a floor area ratio of 20% and a building coverage ratio of 20%. Height restrictions limit construction to two stories or 10 meters, with specific setback requirements from the road and neighboring boundaries. Utilities are available but require connection: electricity is provided by Chubu Electric Power Co., water is via a private water system, and drainage uses an individual septic tank. Notably, public water and sewage lines are installed on the nearby eastern road, requiring a separate connection project to the site over an approximate distance of 350 meters.
The area of Karuizawa is renowned as a premier mountain resort, long favored by artists, writers, and the international community for its cool summers and vibrant autumn colors. An interesting historical fact is that Karuizawa served as the summer retreat for the Imperial Family in the early 20th century, cementing its status as Japan's original highland resort. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Asama, an active volcano and one of Japan's most famous peaks, which provides a stunning backdrop visible from the property itself.
