A little bit of country, only 5 minutes to the grocery store! This beautiful ranch style home sits on just over half an acre, and is located in one of Chico's most desirable locations. The gorgeous scenery in this neighborhood includes mature oaks, huge and colorful gardens, ranchettes and spectacular custom homes. The tranquil landscaping, sweeping lawn, and big rear yard offer a private retreat. There is a sparkling inground pool, personal deck off the master suite, covered rear patio, RV parking, and tons of room for gardening. The flow of the house is very livable, and great for entertaining with a pass through kitchen, living room and cozy family rooms, all with a view of the outdoor space. The seller has loved the fabulous built-in shelving and storage space, the extra roomy master bedroom, and the convenient laundry room with even more storage. The garage is oversized and has great workspaces. Location, location!

VLDR
Very Low Density Residential 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.
