15448 Nopel Forest Ranch, CA 95942

Fully fenced retreat on 1 acre lot only 12 minutes from Chico. If a peaceful homestead in fresh, cooler elevated forest air is what you are searching for, you have found the right place! With grocery and gas prices rising, choose a home like this with land that provides. From gardens to livestock pens, you can truly live off the land or even gather farmer's market goods from the bi-monthly Forest Ranch market. Also located just at the end of Nopel Road is the corner store with grocery items and more. Back to the homestead you will find a fully remodeled residence. In 2019, the interior walls, flooring, doors and kitchen were all updated. The open kitchen features beautiful granite counter tops, a large single basin sink, no slam cabinets, glass-top induction stove, dishwasher and refrigerator which all stay with the home. Off of the kitchen you'll find the living room with a large picture window as well as a wood burning stove. There are two separate bedrooms and a hall bathroom as well. Heading outside you'll find a 640sqft detached garage/shop with a separate bonus room that could be used as an office, craft, hobby or yoga studio. There is a swamp cooler and wood burning stove in the shop and a wall mounted heat pump in the extra bonus room. An additional outbuilding with electricity and water was just built on the property as well and includes a nice covered carport area that is a perfect place to house a boat, vehicle, etc. You are sure to love the 1700sqft fully enclosed area with a chicken coop and rabbit hutch. There is plenty of room for chickens, pigs, goats, etc. There is also a fenced in garden area with 6 irrigated planter beds and a separate fruit orchard with plum, peach, apple and pear trees. Last but not least, just picture yourself enjoying the fire pit area and the reclaimed redwood raised deck with friends or in relaxing solitude. Make sure you find time to see this property in person as you are sure to notice just how special and rare it is to find a property like this so close to Chico. It would even make for a great "beat the heat" vacation home or rental!
