This countryside home is like something lifted right from a storybook. Located on a gentle sloping hill in Oroville, where lilacs & honeysuckle bloom. On the ample 7 acres you will find fruit & citrus trees, berry bushes, & grape vines. There are ponds, a natural spring and a babbling brook. There is a raised garden area & lots of land for animals & pets. Imagine the Easter egg hunts or games of hide & seek! Views of the valley can be enjoyed from almost every room, where you can see the Sutter Buttes & lots of twinkling lights at dusk. Sip your morning coffee on the back patio & see if you can count the number of bird songs you hear or relax & have dinner while watching the sunset. The old mandarin packing house with its famous mural on the side, has provided many happy memories as the venue for Anniversary & Birthday parties with a live band & lots of laughter & dancing. It’s also been the rink for rollerblade hockey & the shop that was needed to work on & store equipment. So bring your recreational vehicles, pets, & imagination to see what memories you will make! The 4th bedroom has no closet so it is really a den or bonus room. This home is turn key & here are some of the details: HVAC & Roof are approximately 10 years old. Owned Solar was installed by Royal Aire. Electric bills are zero most of the time. Windows are tinted with 3M to increase energy efficiency. South Feather River Water bill runs $19-21/month.

RR-5
HD-O
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.
