    What's special

    Mature landscapingExpansive windowsMeandering brick pathwaysPeaceful lawnsLarge garden areaGenerously sized kitchenBreathtaking panoramic views
    Welcome to RIVERBEND....a truly remarkable estate perched on the bluff at the bend of the Feather River, offering breathtaking panoramic views of both the river and the town of Oroville. Built in 1926, this beautiful home is surrounded by lush, mature landscaping, including azaleas, camellias, and stately trees, connected by meandering brick pathways that exude timeless elegance. A grand row of palm trees lines a nearby driveway, a nostalgic nod to the nearby site where the historic Bella Vista Hotel, built in the 1880's once stood, later serving as the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows Home. Echoes of the past remain, with two vintage outbuildings, a portion of the water tower, and a unique swimming pool repurposed from a former reservoir — each feature contributing to the rich story of this treasured property. Inside, the home boasts four spacious bedrooms, three full, uniquely styled bathrooms, and a sunroom perfectly positioned to take in those river views. Expansive windows throughout flood the home with natural light and frame the surrounding scenery like artwork. The large upstairs bonus room, along with an additional smaller bonus space (used as a fifth bedroom), offers flexibility for family, guests, or creative spaces. Fortunately, another great feature is that the interior doors have their beautiful, original glass door handles. The heart of the home is a generously sized kitchen with a cozy breakfast nook with bay windows and ample storage provided by many cabinets. The adjoining living and dining room provide an ideal setting for entertaining — whether it’s an intimate gathering or a celebration. The laundry area is located in the downstairs basement. Outdoors, enjoy peaceful lawns, a large garden area, inviting patios, and of course, those unforgettable views — all perfect for family gatherings, hosting weddings, special events, or simply relaxing in your own private oasis. Ideal for a large family, a bed and breakfast, or anyone seeking a unique residence filled with character and history, Riverbend is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Loved and cherished for decades, it’s now ready to welcome new owners to continue its extraordinary story.
