Imagine waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the sun peeking through the trees and shining through the large windows of your cozy cabin in the woods of Forest Ranch. After enjoying a cup of coffee on the front porch while the dogs play, you decide to take a stroll through your one-acre property, taking in the beauty of nature that surrounds you. As you walk back to your cabin, the smell of wood burning in the stove draws you inside. The warmth from the woodstove envelops you as you take in the charming interior of your home. The loft above the kitchen; a perfect place for guests, or to cozy up with a good book. The living room; full of large windows to let in all the natural light. The spacious bedroom; complete with a walk-in closet and built-in desk. Later, as the day comes to an end, you decide to make dinner using some of the fresh produce from your large, drip-irrigated garden. As you cook, you remember that you have some stored food in the root cellar, and you head there to grab some potatoes and onions to complete your meal – and a bottle of wine, too, for good measure. After dinner, you step into the updated bathroom and run yourself a bubble bath to relax and unwind, feeling grateful for the peace and tranquility that your cabin in the woods offers. This is just a small sample of one day in the life of the owner of this unique and charming cabin, located less than a 20-minute drive from Chico. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make it your own - use it as a private weekend getaway spot, earn some income with AirBnB, or make it your full-time residence. Schedule a showing today!

FR-5
Foothill Residential-5 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.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Equestrian facility
