294 Osprey Loop Chester, CA 96020

Ultra-private Lake Almanor West retreat — set on over an acre of level land and bordering thousands of acres of national forest. This spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a dramatic wall of windows in the great room, and an open-concept kitchen and living area. Step outside to a large rear deck with sweeping views of the open meadow and forest beyond — and enjoy the USFS lands right outside your door for endless ATV riding, snowmobiling, hiking, and outdoor adventure. The main level offers two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, half bath, and the main living spaces. Upstairs, you’ll find a private third bedroom, an open fourth bedroom with a window overlooking the great room, another full bathroom, and a cozy loft — perfect for curling up with a good book. The 1.1-acre parcel is flat, with the home set well back from the road for added privacy. A detached 2-car garage provides ample storage. For even more space, the adjacent 0.58-acre lot to the right is available for purchase at $55,000, creating a total of 1.69 acres. The vacant lot to the left cannot be developed, further enhancing the secluded setting. A Lopi wood stove and central heating and A/C keep the home comfortable year-round, and the freshly stained exterior adds to its appeal. As part of the Lake Almanor West community, you’ll enjoy access to member rates at the beautifully landscaped golf course with clubhouse and restaurant, sports activities, a beach and swim dock, and a playground just 1.5 miles away — plus a community boat launch only 3 minutes down the road. Also just 1/4 mile away is access to the paved bike and walking trail that runs to Canyon Dam, soon to be extended all the way to Hwy 36. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful full-time residence or a private getaway, this property offers abundant elbow room, year-round comfort, and a true connection to nature.
