Welcome to this truly exceptional custom home nestled on 3 acres above Butte Creek. This 5-bed, 5-bath estate offers 3,733 sq ft of artfully crafted living space that blends seamlessly into its oak forest surroundings. Built in 1990 and thoughtfully updated throughout, this home is a rare combination of design, nature, and comfort. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a detached garage featuring an EV charging station and a converted art studio, all perched above the main residence. The exterior is a masterpiece in itself, wrapped in redwood with a pure copper roof and owned solar for modern sustainability. Custom metalwork, Colorado flagstone paths, and a stunning walnut front door set the tone for the craftsmanship throughout the property. Inside, expansive windows and sliding doors draw you into panoramic views of the canyon, Butte Creek, and your private pool & spa. Natural light pours through skylights on both levels, enhancing the open and airy design. The heart of the home is a chef’s galley kitchen, fully remodel with custom Sapele wood cabinetry, dual dishwashers, a touchless faucet, 5-burner Zephyr electric stove, and an elegant bar, perfect for entertaining in style. All 5 bedrooms are located upstairs, w/ the primary offering breathtaking views, a spacious closet, and a spa-like bathroom. Enjoy the luxurious walk-in shower, double vanity w/ updated lighting, and heated towel racks—every detail considered for comfort. Additional interior features include a cozy wood-burning fireplace, large indoor laundry room, and split HVAC systems for year-round comfort. Step outside to experience a nature lover’s paradise. The two-lane lap pool includes a 66-foot swim lane for serious swimmers and a 10-foot “Margaritaville” section for relaxing—all set against canyon views and a sprawling flagstone deck for entertaining. There’s also a pool house, outdoor shower, and endless skies for stargazing. This property is also a haven for wildlife. Red-tailed hawks, herons, quail, owls, and even bald eagles make regular appearances. A resident osprey pair nests just below the home each spring. Located just minutes from Chico, the home offers the rare opportunity to live in luxurious harmony with nature. This home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and an experience.
