More than a farm home with a storied history on a generous acreage, 1215 Camp Cardinal Road is parklike, encompassing level greenspace with rare views of sunrise and sunset, and a thickly wooded ravine, all within Iowa City—a private retreat offering easy access to the area’s multiple amenities. This vintage home’s 4.47-acre property is comprised of two contiguous parcels. The main parcel (1112101001) of 3.52 acres, includes the home, garage, and ample level grounds as well as a forested ravine. The second parcel (1101476002) of 0.95 acres seamlessly adjoins the main parcel but is separately platted and could be sold as the site for a large home with beautiful and protected wooded privacy. This would require the buyer to provide access by an easement from the existing entrance off Camp Cardinal Road. Or the buyer may wish to build a new home on the beautiful 0.95 acre parcel and sell or rent the existing house, garage, and remaining property. In its 2,496 sq. ft. , the farmhouse offers a front porch, living room, formal dining room, family room, library/sunroom, country kitchen, three bedrooms, and two baths. Stunning details include gleaming pine floors in nearly all rooms, subtle vinyl in the baths, an open staircase with pine risers and treads, and many large windows that flood the home's rooms with sunlight.

ID-RS
Interim Development-Single-Family Residential Zone
The purpose of the interim development zone ID is to provide for areas of managed growth in which agricultural and other nonurban uses of land may continue until such time as the city is able to provide city services and urban development can occur. The interim development zone is the default zoning district to which all undeveloped areas should be classified until city services are provided. Upon provision of city services, the city or the property owner may initiate rezoning to zones consistent with the comprehensive plan, as amended.
