Welcome to Stilson Canyon! Sitting on 2 acres in one of Chico’s most desirable neighborhoods, this stunning home is one you’re not going to want to miss out on! Backing to the canyon, this gorgeous property sits towards the back of the lot, high up on the hill, showcasing the most beautiful views from your deck and from most of the windows on both levels of the home. This property has so much to offer including your very own vineyard, a pool, a detached oversized 2-car garage, car port and so much more! The main living area is on the upper level and features an open floor plan, a large center kitchen island, dining area, open living room, half bath and master suite. Master bedroom is oversized and features beautiful views and access to the front deck, plus it has been beautifully remodeled. Downstairs has its own entrance as well and features an additional 2 bedrooms and full bathroom, a full family room, plus an additional entry room/living area with murphy bed that could easily be converted to a 4th bedroom. There is great potential to either have a multi-family living together (two separate entrances, each on own level) OR more than enough room to build an second home/in-law home, put an RV/big toys on the property or convert the detached garage into separate living quarters. The possibilities are endless on this beautiful property. Other amazing features include nearby hiking and biking trails, Little Chico Creek, and close to the new Meriam Park development.

VLDCR
Very Low Density Country Residential Zone
The purpose of the VLDCR zone is to allow large lot single-family homes and related uses in existing residential neighborhoods that are adjacent to or surrounded by areas with uses of a different type or residential uses of a different density. Standards for the VLDCR zone are intended to preserve and protect the character of existing residential neighborhoods. Permitted residential uses in the VLDCR zones include single-family homes, small residential care homes, accessory dwelling units, animal grazing, on-site agricultural product sales, and private stables. The VLDCR zone conditionally permits uses compatible with a low-density residential setting including semi-private stables animal keeping, and major home-occupations. The minimum permitted parcel size in the VLDCR zone is 1 acre. The VLDCR zone implements the Very Low Density Residential land use designation in the General Plan.
