Four-bedroom chalet-style house plus study on about 1,030 sq m of freehold woodland
This house sits in a wooded part of Karuizawa, a mountain resort town in Nagano, on about 1,030 sq m of freehold land. It is a two-storey wooden house of about 204 sq m, built in 2002, with four bedrooms and a living and dining area plus a study. The land is largely flat, surrounded by mature forest, with a small stream along one side where fireflies can be seen in summer. The exterior follows a half-timbered chalet pattern, and the living room has exposed timber beams, a cast-iron wood-burning stove and floor heating. It suits a buyer wanting a private retreat in the woods, ready to refresh the interior to personal taste.
Why This Opportunity
The plot is freehold and holds a house of about 204 sq m. Mature trees, grassed ground and garden space surround it, with a stream along one side.
The source gives the drive time to the nearest station as about eight minutes. The retreat setting is paired with a practical link to the rail network.
The source records recent repair work to the cladding and roof of a house built in 2002, which reduces the most visible near-term maintenance item.
A cast-iron stove on a tiled hearth and under-floor heating warm a beamed living room, which suits a high-altitude town with long cold seasons.
A kitchen with an island, an adjoining counter with water facilities, a covered terrace and a flat garden are laid out for hosting and barbecues.
The layout gives separate sleeping rooms and a working room across two wooden floors.
