Just minutes south of Chico and centrally located in Butte County is where you will find this beautiful ranchette. As you enter through the gated entrance start down the gravel drive, you hear the breeze thru the trees & birds chirping at the creek as you pass over the bridge. The stress of the world is slowly lifting as you pull up to see the home's charming approach with lush green landscape all around, a pool to enjoy the hottest days & a classic red barn/shop for all your heart's desires. Some wonderful perks include a new 30 year roof installed March 2021 and the private well on the property also produces over 30 GPM! As you enter through the front door into the formal great room/dining area, you'll admire the soaring ceilings with eyebrow dormers allowing the natural light to fill the space. Step down into the lovely living room with a wood burning stove & rock surround, this room then leads into the stunning remodeled kitchen. This kitchen is a cooks dream, with a huge center island finished with a stainless steel top & rustic red cabinets. All other custom cabinetry is made of beautiful walnut wood, finished with granite & a stainless steel apron sink that's angled to take in the beauty of this land. The split bedroom layout has the master off the living room with a shiplap finished wall & built in reading nook. Enough about the home, let's get back to the land! The barn/shop is 40'x40' and could be used as a garage. It also has two stall doors, a loft, wood stove, kitchen, 3/4 bath and a 10kW 36 panel owned solar array. In addition to the barn/shop & other outbuildings, there is fencing for horses/livestock & ample West Branch Clear Creek frontage with a swimming hole to enjoy those summer days. There are 3 sections of pasture on the land and the middle pasture by the barn has irrigation. Special pieces like this are hard to come by, be sure to check it out!

RCR-10
Rural Country Residential-10 Zone
The purpose of the RCR zone is to allow for the appropriate development of large-lot single-family homes, small farmsteads, and related uses in the rural and agricultural areas of the county. The RCR zone is applied to regional areas of the county for the protection of a quiet, country-like setting and does not permit certain uses that would interfere with this purpose. Standards for the RCR zone are intended to preserve and protect the character of existing rural residential areas and ensure that future rural residential development is compatible with adjacent agricultural uses. Permitted residential uses in the RCR zones include a single-family home, small residential care home, and an accessory dwelling unit. Animal grazing, crop cultivation, private and semiprivate stables, on-site agricultural product sales, and other similar agricultural activities are permitted uses in the RCR zone. The minimum permitted parcel size in the RCR zone is 10 acres. The RCR zone implements the Rural Residential land use designation in the General Plan.
