Getaway from the intense summer heat and enjoy the warm fertile foothills -Over 15 acres and a 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath custom house on a mountain oasis. Spring-fed non-chlorinated concrete pond/wading pool, outdoor bathtub, heirloom apples, figs, peach trees, and a thicket of cherries spreading along the creek. Seller runs a successful licensed doggy daycare/cage free pet boarding business on the property and has a 5 acre area fenced for the dogs. They have also developed many trails for the dog walks and mountain bike rides. This property has so much potential to be a self-sufficient homestead. Seller has always dreamed of capturing some of the spring water and a large pond could be added with some clearing and dam work on the 10 acres above the road. An organic garden with raised beds is nicely fenced. There are many peaceful sitting areas to be serenaded by the frogs and flowing water. Downstairs living room, kitchen and bathroom were remodeled in 2019 using lumber milled from a large ponderosa pine and cedar trees that had fallen on the property. Whether you're looking for a Bohemian artist retreat, or self-sufficient farmstead this place has it all! Good soils, private well, lots of privacy, yet only 15 miles from the bustling college town of Chico: offering hospitals, schools, year-round farmer's markets, and thriving music/art scene. Seasonal creek in the front yard. Wood stove provides a heat source on beautiful snowy winter nights. Because of shade trees, 2,960-foot elevation and a whole house fan, seller has not installed air conditioning. Corrals for sheep, goats, chickens, or horses. There is a barn and shed for storage, animals, or livestock. Besides the stream and spring on the property, there is a large amount of precipitation that keeps the forest lush. Circular driveway and many parking places with plenty of room to park RVs, boats, trailers, etc. Hollow Oak drive passes through the property making easy access to most areas of the property allowing for other potential homesites. USDA Hardiness Zone 9b. High speed AT&T internet available.
