Welcome to your 15-acre retreat at the end of Dayton West Road, where privacy, productivity, and peaceful living all come together. Bordered by six-year-old almond trees already in production, this property isn’t just a home, it’s a lifestyle and an investment rolled into one. The orchard is under a maintenance lease, giving you the benefit of annual income without the day-to-day work. Add in the fully equipped guest suite, with its own kitchen and bathroom, that’s perfect for extended family, visitors, or as a rental, and you have two income-producing opportunities right on site. The main home is a cozy 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence with an additional office. Inside, natural light floods through dual-pane picture windows, framing breathtaking sunsets over the rice fields and valley beyond. A wood stove adds warmth and charm in the cooler months, while a screened-in porch provides the perfect place to unwind on summer evenings. For those who love projects or need space to spread out, this property truly delivers. A 25’x30’ RV garage provides secure storage, and a massive 2,000+ sq. ft. workshop, designed with sturdy 6-inch walls, gas and compressor lines, custom storage racks, and hoists, everything you need for woodworking, metalwork, or even running a home-based business. Three towering 18’ grain silos add even more storage potential. Around the homesite, you’ll discover a bounty of nature’s gifts: fruit, citrus, and nut trees ready to enjoy, plus a pecan tree offering shady afternoons. A fenced yard, mature shade trees, and thoughtfully placed garden beds add to the welcoming country feel. With both a domestic well and a high-producing ag well, water is never in short supply. And yet, despite the privacy and wide-open feel, you’re just 10 minutes from Durham, Chico, and the Sacramento River.

Here, you can wake to the sounds of waterfowl, watch bunnies dart through the orchard, and end the day with unforgettable sunsets.
