Welcome to this charming home with endless potential! Located on a picturesque lot, this property invites you to step into a world of possibilities. As you approach the house, you'll love the wrap-around deck that leads you through the double front doors and into the home. The staircase off the foyer takes you to the upper living quarters, where you'll discover two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including the spacious master bedroom suite. The master bedroom boasts an immense walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower. Descending to the lower level, you'll find a cozy living room adorned with hand-hewn ceiling beams and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide a look out to the sunroom. The sunroom is a surrounded by windows on every wall that blend indoor and outdoor living. The living room also opens up to the kitchen, complete with hand-painted tiles adorned with hummingbirds along the backsplash and granite countertops. There is a 6-burner Kitchen Aid gas cooktop range that needs some new parts . Just around the corner, a wall-to-wall pantry and a built-in office space provide practical convenience. Step out from the kitchen onto the private back deck, offering tranquil views overlooking a 3000-gallon koi pond, ready to be rejuvenated to its former splendor. As you explore the property, follow the pathway to a private cottage, which includes its own bathroom. There is a second studio equipped with power, making it ideal for use as an art studio or home office. Outside there is a two-car garage and a convenient circular driveway. While the koi pond is currently dry and TLC is needed to restore this home to its former glory, the potential for a serene oasis is undeniable. The home requires some flooring updates and general repairs, providing the perfect canvas for your personal touch and creative vision. A few of the photos have been virtually staged to help show what the home could look like with some new paint and flooring. Don't miss the chance to make this charming house your forever home!

AG-40
Agriculture Zone
The purpose of the AG zone is to support, protect, and maintain a viable, long-term agricultural sector in Butte County. Standards for the AG zone maintain the vitality of the agricultural sector by retaining parcel sizes necessary to sustain viable agricultural operations, protecting agricultural practices and activities by minimizing land-use conflicts, and protecting agricultural resources by regulating land uses and development intensities in agricultural areas. Permitted uses include crop cultivation, animal grazing, stock ponds, and agricultural processing. More intensive agricultural activities, such as animal processing, dairies, hog farms, stables, forestry and logging, and mining and oil extraction, are permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. 1 single-family home and one accessory dwelling unit is permitted on each legally established parcel within the AG zone, and residential uses for agricultural employees are permitted as an accessory use within the AG zone. The minimum permitted parcel size in the AG zone ranges from 20 acres to 160 acres. The AG zone implements the Agriculture land use designation in the General Plan.
