Property Description
This one-of-a-kind property feels like a world of its own—peaceful, private, and just minutes from town. Set on 5.69 acres with approximately 600 feet of creek frontage along Butte Creek, it offers a rare mix of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and timeless character. A gated entrance leads to a circular drive, ornamental fountain, and tranquil koi pond that set the tone for what’s inside. The main home features five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with hand-carved wood doors, wood-beamed ceilings, architectural arches, and a blend of brick and tile flooring. The split floor plan includes built-ins throughout, multiple terraces, and large picture windows that frame views of the grounds, treetops, pool, and even the Sutter Buttes in the distance. Enjoy morning coffee or evening wine from one of the many balconies, where the sound of Butte Creek drifts through the trees. The pool and hot tub are tucked into beautifully landscaped surroundings, giving the outdoor space a garden-like feel. There's also a private beach area right on the creek—perfect for hosting or unwinding. The remodeled guest quarters now feature a full kitchen, full bathroom, living area, private entrance, and a fenced yard, offering complete flexibility for guests or extended stays. It also includes a loft, living area, and a wood-burning fireplace. Other highlights include a detached two-car garage, owned solar, pressure tank and generator for the well, a workshop area, fruit trees, a small orchard, and a protected wildlife preserve just across the creek that ensures privacy and open views for years to come. Originally built by Gene Henning, the home reflects craftsmanship and detail at every turn. Whether you're entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting, this property offers the feeling of a private retreat—without giving up convenience.
