Overview
Come home to your own private retreat, where there’s room to relax, entertain, garden, work on a project—or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of country living. Set on 8.27 beautiful, secluded acres just 3 miles from Waterloo, this custom ranch has a personality all its own and offers the kind of thoughtful details that become more apparent the longer you explore. With 2,900+ sq. ft. of finished living space, the home features two bedrooms with walk-in closets, a non-conforming bedroom with an additional walk-in closet, three full baths, and a large two-car garage. The custom floor plan makes excellent use of the space, with generous closets and storage tucked throughout the home. The main level is bright and welcoming, with vaulted ceilings, quality flooring, built-in cabinetry, a fireplace, and large windows bringing the outdoors in. The kitchen, dining and living areas flow naturally together, making the home equally comfortable for everyday living or a house full of friends and family. Please don't overlook the finished lower level. Two large windows bring in so much natural light and such pretty outdoor views that you may have to remind yourself you're downstairs! A second fireplace, wet bar/kitchenette, additional living and sleeping space, a full bath, and abundant storage make this level especially versatile for entertaining, overnight guests, hobbies, or multigenerational living. Then step outside—and this property really begins to show what makes it special. Three separate outdoor living areas give you plenty of choices: spend summer afternoons around the pool and deck, relax in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit in the evening, or simply find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the privacy of your acreage. Beyond the home is a large workshop/she-shed that has also doubled as guest quarters, an additional garden shed, raised garden beds, and plenty of open ground for animals, pasture, recreation, or simply enjoying the extra elbow room. Privacy without isolation, acreage without being miles from town, and a home with features you simply don't find every day. At just 3 miles from Waterloo, 6730 Cardinal Drive offers the opportunity to enjoy your own little piece of the country while keeping town conveniently close. Tenant rights prevail. Approximately six acres are currently leased to a tenant farmer for hay. Please schedule all showings through a real estate agent as the property cannot be viewed from Trout Camp/Cardinal Road.
