Although the property was recently included in the North Chico Specific Plan area—with potential annexation into Chico city limits that could significantly increase its long-term value—the current owners are relocating to be near family and are ready to sell this 66.23-acre spread. Conveniently located off Hicks Lane and Eaton Road, just 10 minutes from downtown Chico and bordering the Chico Regional Airport. Established Equestrian Business: Currently home to Rose Lane Stables LLC, recognized as one of the top three horse boarding facilities in Butte County.

The grounds feature a historic barn moved from Bidwell Ranch, an old almond orchard, a creek, and a small natural spring. Zoning & Investment Potential: Features a unique mix of Airport overlay zoning, General Industrial (GI) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning in a small portion where Mud Creek crosses the northern portionof the property. The existing residence and boarding operations are legal nonconforming uses, offering versatile future commercial and investment potential (such as storage facilities), subject to approvals.

Come take over the reins and restore the cool old buildings and stables to their full potential.
