This quiet modest home nestled in at 2800ft elevation, allows for cooler summers and mild winters. At that magical elevation above the fog but below most storms snow levels, allows for that quiet mild and cool easy living. At just 20 minutes from Lakeside market, you're close enough to feel like you're still part of the town of Oroville, but far enough out from any hustle and bustle. Cross a bridge over SFWP irrigation ditch that runs in front of home giving it the creek outside appeal, and if that wasn't enough there is an actual creek traversing on the property line at the bottom of the property, buyer to verify. Wood stove in home allows for comfortable winters, keep it filled with your own wood on property as oaks, madrone, and cedar trees are in abundance on the lower end of the acreage. Older woodshed and chicken coup could use TLC. Very light and bright, what you see is what you get You'll have plenty to check out on these gently sloping 3 acres. This is a nice charming home ready for a new owner to make home. An affordable priced home in the golden foothills of California. Butte County has a vast rich history in gold as well for those perspective prospectors. This is the gateway to the gold hills of California, don't miss out on this one. Close to Oroville Lake recreation too! A real charmer!

RR-5
Rural Residential-5 Zone
The purpose of the RR zone is to allow for the appropriate development of large-lot single-family homes, small farmsteads, and related uses in the rural and agricultural areas of the county. Standards for the RR zone are intended to preserve and protect the character of existing rural residential areas and ensure that future rural residential development is compatible with adjacent agricultural uses. Permitted residential uses in the RR zones include a single-family home, small residential care home, and an accessory dwelling unit. The RR zone also conditionally permits non-residential uses compatible with a rural residential setting, including public and quasi-public uses, personal services, nurseries, and animal services. Animal grazing, crop cultivation, private stables, on-site agricultural product sales, and other similar agricultural activities are permitted uses in the RR zone. The minimum permitted parcel size in the RR zone ranges from 5 to 10 acres. The RR zone implements the Rural Residential land use designation in the General Plan.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Equestrian facility
Housing-Senior
Agriculture-Cropland
