Property Description

Anyone interested in permaculture will immediately recognize & delight in the fruit-bearing trees, perennials, plant guilds, and edges bursting with life on this 1/3 acre property in north Chico. Designed for efficiency & sustainability, the gardens (see attached maps) produce a wide variety of local, delicious foods for every season. The plants are supported by one another, as well as a greenhouse, three 55-gallon rainwater barrels, a potting bench with sink, and chickens with their own coop and evergreen chicken run! At the center of the gardens is a charming 3 bed, 2 bath home with hardwood floors, 2 master bedrooms, and a sunroom! The living room features a fireplace w/ brick mantle and the first bedroom has built-in bookshelves, shutter closet doors, and a skylight. One master bedroom features mirrored closet doors while the other sports its own bathroom, exit to the backyard, and adjacent kitchenette.

In addition to the wine grapes, there are over 40 unique types of fruit trees, including exotic goji berries, paw paw fruit, and 12 varieties of fig! There are also trees/hedges for privacy and a clubhouse w/ swings & a slide.
