Charming Woodland Retreat in Karuizawa
Nestled within the prestigious Karuizawa Club Villa area, this charming two-story wooden house offers a serene escape. Built in 2017, the property features a 2LDK layout across 126.89 square meters, designed with high ceilings and abundant windows that fill the space with natural light. The living area includes a wood-burning stove, and the home opens onto a spacious deck overlooking the lush, private 1,299 square meter forested lot.
The property is situated in the sought-after Karuizawa highlands, a region renowned for its cool summers and vibrant autumn colors. An interesting local fact is that Karuizawa was originally developed as a summer retreat for foreign diplomats and the Japanese elite in the late 19th century, establishing its long-standing reputation as a premier resort destination. The closest major landmark is the historic Karuizawa St. Paul's Catholic Church, a classic example of Western-style architecture from the Meiji era, located just a short drive away.
