Welcome to a truly special creekfront setting on Centerville Road in Chico. This gorgeous parcel sits right along the creek, offering expansive canyon views on both sides and an unmatched sense of privacy and tranquility. A rare sandy beach invites you to set up chairs, relax by the water, or even tube right down to your own property. You are fully immersed in nature in every direction. The previous home was lost in the Camp Fire, leaving behind a generously flat building area ready for your dream home. Seasonal creeks border both sides of the property, enhancing the natural beauty and peaceful setting. Opportunities like this—buildable land with true creek frontage, canyon views, and usable space—are exceptionally rare. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect creekfront property to create something truly special, this is it.
