Nestled among the pines on two peaceful acres, this thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers over 2,200 sq. ft. of inviting living space designed for relaxation, connection, and a slower pace of life, just minutes from central Forest Ranch and a scenic 15-minute drive to Chico.

A wall of windows and French doors creates a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, while the rock accent wall provides a stunning backdrop to the pellet stove, keeping the home warm and cozy through the cooler seasons. Just off the kitchen sits a second living/dining area with a warm, rustic feel. Here, a second pellet stove set against a rock hearth anchors the space, while large windows frame views of the front yard and mature fruit trees, letting sunlight pour in throughout the day. French doors offer additional backyard access, enhancing the home’s natural flow. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is sure to impress, featuring elevated quartz countertops, a Thermador induction cooktop, a KitchenAid convection oven and dishwasher, stylish cabinetry with modern hardware, bar-top seating, and a walk-in pantry. Whether cooking a quiet dinner at home or hosting friends, this kitchen was designed with both function and style in mind. Off this space, you’ll also find a convenient half bath and a laundry/mud room with a utility sink, storage, and exterior access. Down the hall are two comfortable, spacious guest bedrooms and a full guest bath, while the primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a large closet and an en-suite bathroom. You’ll also find large closets throughout the home, providing excellent storage for everyday living. Outside, the property offers room to live the mountain lifestyle you’ve dreamed of, complete with fruit trees, a chicken coop, RV parking, plus a shed and shop ideal for storage, hobbies, or projects.
