Outstanding, panoramic views of Big Chico Creek Canyon and the valley await you on this 0.8 acre property, conveniently located on a paved street near “downtown” Forest Ranch and less than a 15-minute drive from Chico along scenic Hwy 32! Previous home was destroyed in the Park Fire (July 2024). All utilities were in place at time of the fire and most of the neighborhood survived. Property also features a concrete driveway apron and beautiful pond. County has completed the “Phase 2” debris removal. There are 7 trees that are still scheduled to be removed by the county. Seller is looking to sell “as-is” so buyer will need to take responsibility for confirming condition of the septic, water meter (property is part of a mutual water district) and power connection requirements, etc. Don’t miss your opportunity to building your dream home here!
