¥268,000,000

Higashiyashikizoe, Nagakura, Karuizawa-machi, Nagano

A remarkable opportunity to acquire an exceptionally large parcel of land in one of Karuizawa’s most desirable residential areas.

Shiozawa Subdivision – Lot B encompasses approximately 1,710.66 m² (517.47 tsubo), offering an extraordinary amount of space for the creation of a private luxury estate, substantial family residence or exceptional Karuizawa retreat.

Set within the tranquil residential landscape of Nagakura, the property combines privacy and generous proportions with convenient access to the amenities and attractions of Naka-Karuizawa and wider Karuizawa.

Shinano Railway’s Naka-Karuizawa Station is approximately 3 km away, around six minutes by car, placing restaurants, cafés, shops and everyday conveniences within easy reach while retaining the peaceful atmosphere that makes this part of Karuizawa so sought-after.

An Exceptional Estate-Scale Site

At approximately 517 tsubo, Lot B offers a rare degree of freedom for those looking to create something truly individual.

The expansive site provides the potential for an impressive bespoke residence surrounded by extensive private gardens, mature landscaping, terraces and outdoor living spaces, subject to the applicable planning and landscape regulations.

The property benefits from a 6-metre-wide development road to the northeast, providing convenient access to the site.

Its scale makes Lot B particularly attractive to buyers seeking the feeling of a private estate rather than a conventional residential plot.

Designed for a Bespoke Karuizawa Lifestyle

Whether envisioned as an elegant year-round residence, a sophisticated second home or a private family retreat, the generous dimensions of Lot B provide an exceptional foundation on which to create a highly individual property.

The natural setting and substantial land area offer considerable scope for integrating architecture and landscape — creating a residence that feels immersed in the surrounding environment while remaining conveniently connected to Karuizawa.

Essential infrastructure is already available, with public water and public sewer connections available on the property. Electricity can be supplied via Chubu Electric Power underground wiring, while individual propane gas is available.
