This gorgeous home sits on a stunning 5 acres and only a short, beautiful drive to Chico. The owners have done a substantial amount of improvements and updates throughout the property. The entry of the home is stunning with tall, white beamed ceilings, bright windows, wainscoting and tile. To the left of the entry is a living room that is so bright and cozy with a large picture window, skylight and wood pellet freestanding stove. The kitchen was completely remodeled with gorgeous cherry wood cabinets, granite countertops and backsplash, black appliances including a double oven and window that overlooks the prettiest view of your property. On the other side of the kitchen you will find two spacious guest rooms and a family room, where additional windows were added for natural light and a large custom built window bench you'll want to cozy up on with a book. Up the gorgeous, custom built stairs with a Padauk wood banister, you will find a private suite, en-suite bathroom and office with built-in bookcases. Other updates on the home include: siding, shop/shed, heat pump, 1500 gallon septic tank, dual pane vinyl windows, both bathrooms, sheet rocked attic and tile flooring. Outside you will find a newer, large patio with built-in seating and the most stunning meadow/ parklike setting, surround by Manzanitas, Ponderosa Pines and Oak trees. So peaceful! The property is in a great location right off of Cohasset but elevated above the road providing lots of privacy.

FR-2
Foothill Residential-2 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.
