Active homes over 2,000 square feet inside Baldwin Lake, straight from the MLS.
Above two thousand feet you are usually looking at a later build or a serious addition, which tends to mean level entry, a real garage and room for more than one family at a time. This page narrows the live MLS feed to homes over 2,000 square feet inside Baldwin Lake only, so what you see below is that combination and nothing else.
At this size you are usually looking at either a build from the 2000s onward or a cabin that has had a serious addition. Both tend to bring the things the original cabins lack: level entry, a real garage, and room for more than one family at a time.
This is the practical floor for a home that works as a full-time residence with an office, or as a rental that sleeps enough people to justify the purchase price.
Permits on the addition, if there is one. A 2,400 square foot home where 800 feet are unpermitted is a 1,600 square foot home as far as an appraiser is concerned, and that gap can end a deal late.
And heating zones. A large mountain home on a single heating zone is expensive to run and uneven to live in. Multiple zones or a well-placed secondary heat source matters more here than in a small cabin.
