We're asking $2 million for both properties, offered as a flexible, lifestyle-forward package.

You decide how to allocate value between the two — ideal for creative financing or unique lender requirements. We are open to selling them individually for the right buyer, but the synergy between them is where the opportunity truly shines.

This is more than a property deal. It’s a shift in pace. A chance to trade burnout for balance, traffic for trailheads, and pressure for purpose. If that resonates, we’re ready when you are.

Yes. While the true magic is in the synergy between the two, we’re open to selling them individually. The Baker House stands strong on its own as a well-positioned commercial building with a proven income track record. The residence, located just 5 minutes away, is a beautifully restored heritage home that previously operated as a successful bed and breakfast. Together, they offer a rare plug-and-play lifestyle and business opportunity. But if you only need one piece of the puzzle, we’re still happy to talk.

There is a stand-alone Icaro theme to the recently refurbished Colonel Baker House sign at the entrance to Baker Park. It is generating much renewed interest in this landmark building and it's rich history. Should they choose to do so - there exists a very unique opportunity for the next visionary owner of the CBH to leverage all this renewed interest into something very special.
