Property Description

Some properties are worth taking the long way home for. Others make you forget the road is even there. Tucked behind mature landscaping along State Highway 45, this extraordinary 1.97-acre retreat feels worlds away, yet sits approximately 20 minutes from Chico. Built by Goldman and Rose, the 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers 3,459 square feet and something truly rare: sweeping views of the Sacramento River and Llano Seco Nature Preserve from nearly every room upstairs. Here, the landscape isn't just outside the windows; it becomes part of the home. Soaring ceilings, beautiful cabinetry, slate tile, and generous windows lend warmth and character to the elevated main living spaces. The living room opens to a river-facing balcony, while the adjoining kitchen brings together granite countertops, abundant bar seating, and a dining area where even an ordinary meal comes with an extraordinary view. Down the hall, a flexible bedroom or office, full bathroom, and laundry area lead to the primary suite, where an expansive walk-in closet, ensuite bath, and French doors to a private balcony create a peaceful place to begin and end the day. Downstairs, a welcoming foyer leads to a spacious family room, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a second laundry area, offering comfortable separation for guests or extended living arrangements. Each level has its own heating and cooling system. Outside, mature landscaping lends a sense of seclusion, while a generous driveway, three-car garage, additional boat and gear storage, and a second access point make room for the adventures that come with r Some properties are worth taking the long way home for.

The levee stretches along the property, inviting long walks, birdwatching, and moments of quiet beside the Sacramento River, with fishing and a seasonal boat ramp nearby. Rarely does a home offer this combination of privacy, space, and connection to the natural world. Here, the river isn't a weekend destination. It's the view you come home to.
