REDUCED $10,000 - Sellers are in contract on replacement property and motivated to sell! Welcome to a true homesteader’s haven nestled on 5.06 acres in Forest Ranch. If you’ve been dreaming of a life where farm-to-table isn’t just a trend but a way of living, this is your opportunity! Thoughtfully designed for sustainable living, this property offers 15 irrigated raised garden beds, a barn, a chicken coop, and animal enclosures ready for goats, horses, or your favorite four-legged companions. Whether you’re harvesting fresh produce or collecting eggs for breakfast, this property is set up for a thriving lifestyle rooted in nature. Located just 15 minutes from Chico and tucked behind the Forest Ranch Charter School, the property offers privacy and convenience in equal measure. From the moment you arrive, the setting invites you to slow down. Meandering trails lead through the acreage where you might spot deer grazing at dusk or catch the golden sunlight filtering through the trees. Multiple outdoor spaces, including a front porch for morning coffee, shaded sitting areas for afternoon reads, and wide-open spaces for gardens, fire pits, or the pasture for small animals, offer endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. There’s room for creative projects, outdoor entertaining, or simply soaking up the quiet sounds of the forest. Inside, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home spans 1,560 sq. ft. and offers a thoughtful split floor plan. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, boasting dual walk-in closets and an en-suite bathroom with a jetted soaking tub, the perfect place to relax after a long day. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms are bookended by a full bathroom, providing privacy and flexibility for guests or family. A bonus room just off the main living area offers options for a home office, creative studio, or second living space. The heart of the home features a cozy living room anchored by a wood-burning stove, ideal for chilly winter nights, and flows into an updated kitchen and open dining area that’s perfect for cooking and gathering. A dedicated laundry room just off the kitchen includes a convenient half bathroom, adding function without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re looking to grow your own food, raise animals, or simply enjoy the peaceful rhythm of country life, this is a rare opportunity to live the life you’ve imagined, rooted in the land, surrounded by nature, and close enough to town for every convenience.
