Four-bedroom timber villa on freehold forest land, with a wood stove and a deck over the woodland
Karuizawa is a mountain resort town in Nagano prefecture with a long history of second-home ownership, and this newly built four-bedroom villa is aimed at that use. It stands on about 1,578 sq m of freehold, residentially zoned land, with a two-floor house of about 255 sq m clad in dark timber. A sunken living room is organised around a freestanding wood stove, and sliding glass doors open onto a large timber deck over the trees. It suits a buyer looking for a private retreat rather than a primary home on an urban plot.
Why This Opportunity
The plot is held in freehold and is more than six times the floor area of the house, leaving room around the villa and keeping neighbouring plots at a distance.
The house is marked as newly built, with dark timber cladding, split-stone entrance walls and oak flooring in unmarked condition.
A large timber deck with a metal balustrade is reached by sliding glass doors from the main room, giving an outdoor seating area over the woodland.
A freestanding wood stove on a central flue sits in a stepped-down seating area, with concealed cove lighting and high clerestory glazing above.
