Amazing Views! Big Chico Creek Canyon is your backyard. Built with the view in mind, windows make up the back of the home for optimal viewing of the most beautiful sunsets Forest Ranch has to offer. Spacious open floor plan featuring two large bedrooms with brand new carpet and new wood laminate flooring throughout the living area. There is also a finished 311 sq. ft. basement (which is not included in listed square footage!) Basement was used by the original owner as a canning kitchen. There are many special features like a recirculating solar water heater, wood burning stove, and sprinklers on the roof and under the eaves. The property is just under an acre of tranquil natural landscape with a large two car garage which has a full bath and RV hookups. There is even an extra shop for additional storage. If you have a lot of toys, love to tinker in the shop or have multiple hobbies with lots of gear, this is the property for you! 20 minutes from Chico and close to Downtown Forest Ranch, but feels remote and private.
