One of a kind 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home, with second story art studio. This 2,408 square foot retreat blends modern design with natural serenity. Nestled on lower Honey Run Road, just two miles from shopping and less than fifteen minutes from downtown Chico, yet worlds away, surrounded by wildlife—wild turkeys, deer, foxes, and even river otters have all been spotted on the property. This custom-built Scandinavian-inspired home is bathed in natural light and showcases thoughtful design details, such as rift and quarter-sawn white oak flooring that spans throughout and complements the sleek, continuous grain-matched inset kitchen cabinetry. This all-electric home is energy-efficient, featuring owned solar, a heat pump for central heating and air, and a high-efficiency electric water heater. For those who love the sound of running water, a year-round stream—diverted from Butte Creek—flows peacefully through the back of the property, offering a truly rare and tranquil setting.

FR-5
BCC
Foothill Residential-5 Zone
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.
