Exclusive Listing · Japan
A near-new one-bedroom log house on a level plot of about 880 square metres, with a wood-burning stove and a forest-view deck.
Karuizawa is a highland resort town in the mountains, and this log house is set among trees with a deck that looks into the forest. Built in November 2024, it is a single-storey timber home of about 83.5 square metres with a 1LDK layout, on a level, south-facing plot of about 880 square metres. A wood-burning stove, radiant floor heating and double-pane windows suit the highland climate, and a home theatre is already installed. It suits a buyer seeking a recent, low-maintenance second home in the mountains.
Why This Opportunity
Completed in November 2024 in timber with a metal roof, so a buyer takes a near-new building rather than an older house that needs work.
A level plot of about 880 square metres around an 83.5 square metre house leaves generous space for parking, a garden or outdoor living.
A wood-burning stove and radiant floor heating are both installed, with double-pane security windows, for use through the cold season.
Land and building are freehold and the house sits outside any managed scheme, so no monthly management fee applies.
The deck looks into the trees and the house faces south, which brings daylight into the main room through the day.
A projection screen is built in, so the house works as a retreat for evenings in as much as for days outdoors.
The structure carries a seismic resistance rating of 3, a detail earthquake-conscious buyers will want to see documented.
