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!

VLDR-2.5
Very Low Density Residential-2.5 Zone
The purpose of the VLDR zone is to allow for single-family homes and related uses in residential neighborhoods within the county. Standards for the VLDR zone are intended to preserve and protect the character of existing neighborhoods and to ensure that new residential neighborhoods provide an appropriate transition from rural to more developed areas. Permitted residential uses in the VLDR zones include single-family homes, small residential care homes, accessory dwelling units, animal grazing, on-site agricultural product sales, and private stables. The VLDR zone also conditionally permits non-residential uses compatible with a residential setting, including public and quasi-public uses, golf courses, park and recreational facilities, personal services, animal-keeping, large residential care homes, and medical offices and clinics. The minimum permitted parcel size in the VLDR zone is 1 acre. The VLDR zone implements the Very Low Density Residential land use designation in the General Plan.
