PRICE REDUCED - Welcome to a Forest Ranch retreat that beautifully blends comfort, style, and the joy of mountain living. Nestled among the pines on two peaceful acres, this thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers over 2,200 sq. ft. of inviting living space designed for relaxation, connection, and a slower pace of life, just minutes from central Forest Ranch and a scenic 15-minute drive to Chico. Step inside to a bright and open main living room filled with natural light and serene views of the forested backyard. A wall of windows and French doors creates a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, while the rock accent wall provides a stunning backdrop to the pellet stove, keeping the home warm and cozy through the cooler seasons. Just off the kitchen sits a second living/dining area with a warm, rustic feel. Here, a second pellet stove set against a rock hearth anchors the space, while large windows frame views of the front yard and mature fruit trees, letting sunlight pour in throughout the day. French doors offer additional backyard access, enhancing the home’s natural flow. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is sure to impress, featuring elevated quartz countertops, a Thermador induction cooktop, a KitchenAid convection oven and dishwasher, stylish cabinetry with modern hardware, bar-top seating, and a walk-in pantry. Whether cooking a quiet dinner at home or hosting friends, this kitchen was designed with both function and style in mind. Off this space, you’ll also find a convenient half bath and a laundry/mud room with a utility sink, storage, and exterior access. Down the hall are two comfortable, spacious guest bedrooms and a full guest bath, while the primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a large closet and an en-suite bathroom. You’ll also find large closets throughout the home, providing excellent storage for everyday living. Outside, the property offers room to live the mountain lifestyle you’ve dreamed of, complete with fruit trees, a chicken coop, RV parking, plus a shed and shop ideal for storage, hobbies, or projects. The 34-panel Solar System supports this efficient, all-electric home.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAbsolutely horrible school. They have no one communicating with each other. The counselors are MIA and never call amyone back. Same goes for the principals and the front desks. The only one that will ever call back is the attendance person (pfcourse because if the kids dont show up the school doesnt get funded) which is why im honeschooling now. Oroville High is much much better. They should be ashamed of themselves.Parent Review2y ago - Sierra View Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy autistic 5 year old was being physically handled by a teacher and his staff; we continuously questioned the principal about his qualifications while seeing the signs of an unstructured environment for an ESN classroom. The admin staff was oblivious to our child's safety, the school psychologist documented one of the incidents when our child was being blatantly neglected and physically handle in multiple situations. The unprofessional behavior of these individuals didn't bother to notify us of what was going on, despite our constant questions of why our child behaviors were regressing so badly in this new environment. I had to read about our greatest fears in an IEP two weeks later.Parent Review1y ago - Marsh (Harry M.) Junior High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been a student at Marsh the past 3 years - she's getting ready to graduate now. She LOVES Marsh! And I do too. The staff - and especially the principal - have been fantastic. Great communication and super understanding. I did read the other reviews on here from a prior administration......and I won't argue at all concerning that previous administration. I did bring some issues up to that particular leadership crew and never heard anything from them, ever. However, that's not the case for this current Administration(2025-26) - they take a VERY proactive response, and communicate everything with the parents. My daughter loved going there. She wasn't a popular student and wasn't with the "in" crowd - but it didn't matter at all - she felt welcomed by everyone all the time. And she took full advantage of everything the campus had to offer - including sports and after school activities. She had so much fun there, she never wanted to leave. Based upon everything I saw and experienced there - and everything my daughter did there - I can only give Marsh perfect scores across the board. It's an outstanding school, and the campus itself is beautiful and newer compared to the other junior high schools in Chico. Can't be beat, especially here in Butte County.Parent Review4mo ago
