Eight-bedroom former guest house with a separate cottage on flat freehold land
This eight-bedroom timber house in Karuizawa, Nagano, was built in 1985 and still reads as the small guest house it once was, with a bar-style counter, a large dining room and a reception desk in the entrance hall. A separate cottage built in 1987 has parking below and living space above, and a gravel forecourt adds room for cars. The flat site of about 931.08 sq m lies close to the town hall, the hospital and shops, with a railway station about an 11-minute walk away. It suits buyers considering a return to hospitality use, subject to permits, and a setback requirement and easement points should be checked before an offer.
Why This Opportunity
An 8LDK main house of about 284.62 sq m plus a cottage with parking below and living space above gives room for family, staff or guests.
As a former guest house, it already has a reception desk, a counter, a large dining room and many bedrooms. That suits a return to hospitality use, subject to permits.
The terrain is flat and the town hall, hospital and shops are nearby. That is uncommon for a house with mountain views.
The station is about an 11-minute walk. It gives access to the rail network without relying on a car.
The first-class residential zone permits 60% building coverage and a 200% floor area ratio. That defines how much floor area the 931.08 sq m plot can carry.
Public water and public sewage are connected, a septic tank is fitted and gas is individual propane. The utilities are in place.
