New Price on this Rare Slice of Chico History. This charming farmhouse on 4 acres is tucked away in a serene and peaceful setting. This enchanting farmhouse offers a unique blend of rustic charm and rich history. Perched just above the surrounding landscape to capture stunning views of the foothills, this one-of-a-kind property is surrounded by acres of lush walnut orchards and boasts mature walnut and fruit trees throughout its own nearly 4-acre grounds.
