Property Description
New Price on this Rare Slice of Chico History. This charming farmhouse on 4 acres is tucked away in a serene and peaceful setting. This enchanting farmhouse offers a unique blend of rustic charm and rich history. Perched just above the surrounding landscape to capture stunning views of the foothills, this one-of-a-kind property is surrounded by acres of lush walnut orchards and boasts mature walnut and fruit trees throughout its own nearly 4-acre grounds. Step inside the home and you'll find a cozy sunken living room with warm wood-beam ceilings and a large picture window framing an idyllic orchard view. The bonus sunroom, complete with a pellet stove, provides the perfect year-round retreat. Outside, enjoy the sparkling inground pool, relax under the gazebo, and soak in the tranquil country ambiance.
But the true gem of this property is the historic 3,800 square foot barn, a landmark with stories to tell. Believed to be the original Chico State University barn, it was reportedly delivered by mule team down Dayton Highway from the university. This extraordinary structure includes three horse stalls, five spacious rooms, an upstairs hayloft, and even a working elevator. With ties to Chico legends like John Bidwell, John Wannop, and William Proud, the barn is a testament to the area's vibrant agricultural past.
This is more than a home - it's a legacy. Properties like this rarely come available. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Chico's heritage.
