At that magical elevation above the fog but below most storms snow levels, allows for that quiet mild and cool easy living. At just 20 minutes from Lakeside market, you're close enough to feel like you're still part of the town of Oroville, but far enough out from any hustle and bustle. Cross a bridge over SFWP irrigation ditch that runs in front of home giving it the creek outside appeal, and if that wasn't enough there is an actual creek traversing on the property line at the bottom of the property, buyer to verify. Wood stove in home allows for comfortable winters, keep it filled with your own wood on property as oaks, madrone, and cedar trees are in abundance on the lower end of the acreage. Older woodshed and chicken coup could use TLC. Very light and bright, what you see is what you get You'll have plenty to check out on these gently sloping 3 acres. This is a nice charming home ready for a new owner to make home. An affordable priced home in the golden foothills of California. Butte County has a vast rich history in gold as well for those perspective prospectors. This is the gateway to the gold hills of California, don't miss out on this one. Close to Oroville Lake recreation too! A real charmer!
