About this House
Welcome to one of the most extraordinary and truly one-of-a-kind properties you will ever have the opportunity to own! Nestled on 47.61 breathtaking acres of scenic wooded land in Waterloo bordering conservation grounds, this incredible log cabin retreat offers a rare combination of rustic charm, modern comfort, and unparalleled privacy that is simply impossible to replicate.
From the moment you turn onto the private mile-long driveway — lined with 50 feet of clearance on either side for future widening — you'll know this property is something truly special. The cleared area surrounding the home provides a beautiful and serene front and back yard, while the surrounding wooded acreage is home to an incredible variety of fruit and nut trees including apple, cherry, pecan, pear, chestnut, and more — a nature lover's paradise in every sense of the word!
Step onto the charming covered front porch and into the warm and inviting log cabin, where the spacious family room immediately captures your heart with its large windows offering scenic views, soaring vaulted ceiling adorned with gorgeous wood beams and a stunning wood burning fireplace with insert — the perfect gathering spot for family and friends on cool evenings. The well-appointed kitchen features ample cabinet storage, ceramic flooring, a pantry cabinet, and all appliances included, making everyday living both comfortable and convenient. Two generously sized bedrooms and a bathroom round out the main level.
Head upstairs to discover the private third bedroom retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, a full bathroom, and a wonderful loft area — the perfect space for reading, relaxing, or simply taking in the beauty of the surrounding property.
The outdoor living spaces of this property are nothing short of extraordinary. The sprawling wrap-around deck — partially covered for year round enjoyment & the incredible 2,100 square foot patio & a hanging day bed create the ultimate outdoor living experience. Whether you're hosting gatherings, stargazing on a clear night, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings, this outdoor space delivers in every way.
But wait, there's more. This property also features a 30' x 40' outbuilding perfect for storage, hobbies, or equipment, a charming chicken coop for the hobby farmer, and the crown jewel of this incredible estate — a stunning 1,500 square foot treehouse w/ heat/AC & plumbing (has it's own septic tank). Complete with a family room, full bathroom, kitchenette, a loft area, & deck, this treehouse is truly a destination in itself — perfect for guests, a vacation rental opportunity, or simply the most incredible backyard retreat imaginable!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe would be considered those "outsiders" that they wee ole time folks don't welcome...as some would think. However, I have experienced just the opposite. My children were welcomed with open arms and made friends with those whose ancestors have been here in this town for generations. As for us as parents, I will and have associated with several other parents with no problems. It's all about perception and the willingness to accept change...which isn't always bad!Other Review9y ago - Valmeyer Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe idea is that such a small school helps keep the classrooms small and more engaged. There are several classes that have near 24 students as they can't justify splitting a grade into smaller numbers as the kids get into third grade. Accessibility for the students with diverse needs is hard to motivate the district to meet, situationally it could be costs as they try to stay town funded. Because of the nature of being such a small setting their is definitely not a lot of experience with "different" which may cause a few issues. Some teachers are incredible to work with and will focus on adaptive learning techniques and teaching styles. A few are less on board. COVID highlighted this in a number of ways.Parent Review3y ago - Valmeyer Jr High School
