About This Home

As of March 2016

Lush, idyllic creekside home with year-round stream and backyard waterfall just 8 minutes north of town. Spacious retreat sitting on 1+ acre in a secluded neighborhood barely visible from the main road. This is a modern home that boasts an extra large kitchen for entertaining, an office/den that could function as a fourth bedroom, possible RV parking, a serene back patio with in-ground swimming pool, garden beds and many little shaded hideaways. Leave your work at the office and come home to a veritable Shangri-la. Natural waterfront properties are extremely rare in the Chico area, so don't miss this opportunity!
