40-Acre Foothill Retreat with Two Homes. Overlooking Lake Oroville in Yankee Hill, this property blends privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Located in the “banana belt” below the snow line, you’ll enjoy a mild climate just 20 minutes from Oroville or Paradise and 35 from Chico. A private electric gate leads to the 2,179 sq. ft. main home, originally built in 1930 and expanded in 1984. It features Southwest flair, open-beamed ceilings, plantation shutters, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The gourmet kitchen includes stainless appliances, wood cabinetry, a restaurant-grade gas stove, butcher block island, and ample prep space. The primary suite opens to a private deck and features a walk-in closet and luxurious en-suite bath with dual sinks, soaking tub, and tiled walk-in shower. There are two more bedrooms, a versatile bonus room for a gym or second living area, indoor laundry, newer HVAC, tankless water heater, and a wraparound deck. Nearby, the 800 sq. ft. ADU offers modern comfort and privacy with Corian/quartz countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, fireplace, private kitchen, and full bath. It has its own well, septic, and electric meter—ideal for extended family, guests, or as a rental. The grounds include two wells with solar pumps, three water storage tanks, and artesian spring rights for self-sufficiency. Two seasonal creeks cross the land. Additional structures: 800 sq. ft. detached garage with art studio, She Shed-style cottage, well house, and storage buildings offer space for creative and practical needs. For sustainability, there’s a greenhouse, raised beds, chicken coop, and a large orchard with mature trees: peach, cherry, apricot, plum, apple, orange, mandarin, lemon, fig, loquat, pomegranate, and blackberries. With certified organic history and no chemical pesticides, it’s ideal for a family farm, homestead, or boutique ag venture. Surrounded by wildlife and sweeping Northern California foothill views, this property offers endless possibilities—whether as a farm, multi-generational compound, or peaceful retreat. A rare chance to create your dream lifestyle close to town.
