Incredible home in an amazing setting. This home rests on 5 acres with Rock Creek running through just behind the house. Sit on the back patio and enjoy listing to the creek while you stay cool with plenty of shade around the home to keep cool. Tucked away in this wonderful neighborhood you get the best of both worlds with privacy and community. Inside there are beautiful wooden floors and vaulted ceilings, a tremendous open floor plan, living, dining and kitchen areas. The kitchen was remodeled in 2018 and is an absolute delight. There are 3 bedrooms including master bedrooms at each end of the house with large walk-in closets. Also there is a office with a built-in hidden closet that has been used as a recording room. The home includes a 3-car garage, great storage, an excellent shed/workshop and plenty of play areas for family fun. There are two cooling systems new in 2018. The home itself rests on about 1 acre and the remainder provides privacy knowing nobody will be able to build directly behind you. This is a rare find in a wonderful hidden gem Chico location.

AG-160
Agriculture Zone
The purpose of the AG zone is to support, protect, and maintain a viable, long-term agricultural sector in Butte County. Standards for the AG zone maintain the vitality of the agricultural sector by retaining parcel sizes necessary to sustain viable agricultural operations, protecting agricultural practices and activities by minimizing land-use conflicts, and protecting agricultural resources by regulating land uses and development intensities in agricultural areas. Permitted uses include crop cultivation, animal grazing, stock ponds, and agricultural processing. More intensive agricultural activities, such as animal processing, dairies, hog farms, stables, forestry and logging, and mining and oil extraction, are permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. 1 single-family home and one accessory dwelling unit is permitted on each legally established parcel within the AG zone, and residential uses for agricultural employees are permitted as an accessory use within the AG zone. The minimum permitted parcel size in the AG zone ranges from 20 acres to 160 acres. The AG zone implements the Agriculture land use designation in the General Plan.
