Welcome to a truly special creekfront setting on Centerville Road in Chico. This gorgeous parcel sits right along the creek, offering expansive canyon views on both sides and an unmatched sense of privacy and tranquility. A rare sandy beach invites you to set up chairs, relax by the water, or even tube right down to your own property. You are fully immersed in nature in every direction. The previous home was lost in the Camp Fire, leaving behind a generously flat building area ready for your dream home. Seasonal creeks border both sides of the property, enhancing the natural beauty and peaceful setting. Opportunities like this—buildable land with true creek frontage, canyon views, and usable space—are exceptionally rare. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect creekfront property to create something truly special, this is it.

The purpose of the FR zone is to allow for the appropriate development of large-lot single-family home, small farmsteads, and related uses in the foothill areas of the county. Standards for the FR zone are intended to ensure that the development of homes respond sensitively to the foothill setting. Permitted residential uses in the FR zones include a single-family home, small residential care home, and an accessory dwelling unit. The FR zone also conditionally permits non-residential uses compatible with a low-density rural setting, including public and quasi-public uses, mining, animal services, hunting and fishing clubs, nurseries, and commercial stables. Animal grazing, crop cultivation, private stables, on-site agricultural product sales, and other similar agricultural activities are permitted uses in the FR zone. The minimum permitted parcel size in the FR zone ranges from 1 acre to 40 acres. The FR zone implements the Foothill Residential land use designation in the General Plan.
