STUNNING Mountain Property in the Sierra Foothills, the center of the California Gold Rush! This tastefully designed CUSTOM home with two ground floor bedrooms and two full bathrooms plus a loft with spiral staircase, decorative rustic railings, and lake views on five acres is meticulously maintained and offers a private retreat to escape to... whether from your work life "in town" if you choose to commute into the nearby Oroville/Chico area or for regular getaways from city life with a drive time of only 3 hours or less from San Francisco and Sacramento! In addition to the home’s loft that can be used as a third/guest bedroom or home office/gym, there are many convenient features including a dog washing + laundry folding station, walk-in pantry or utility closet, high-speed internet availability via Starlink, video security system, metal roof, backup Generac generator, 500 gallon water storage tank, gated driveway, and plenty of storage on the property. The property also boasts a large, detached, 4-door garage with a full bathroom, kitchen, built-in air compressor + air vacuum, and wood stove and wall heaters to stay comfortable and utilize the garage space in the cooler months! There is ample room to park your cars, boats, and toys to enjoy the surrounding foothills full of outdoor activities, lakes and local California history and wineries to explore. Come relax on the back deck in the hot tub or taking in the Oroville Lake views, cozy up by the wood stove, produce your own food in the fenced garden area and chicken coop, and have peace of mind knowing this property has fire safe features like residential fire sprinklers and defensible space clearance. Wonderful opportunity to own your own piece of paradise! Truly a luxury property… that shows well in photos, but is even more spectacular in person and ready to be appreciated by its next owner or family.
