Affordable Ranchette in Desirable Durham. Just under 5 acres, livestock fenced with a 5 stall barn + tack area is just the beginning. The 3Bd/2Bath home with living & family rooms, large kitchen and dining room and some hardwood floors & great view will spark your interest. Bring some sweat equity & imagination to add to some of the major updates the seller has done over the last 10 years to make this rare mid-century find shine brightly again. The 30x40 shop, attached oversized garage & indoor laundry add to the assets this property has to offer. The well/equipment was replaced approx. 5 years ago. The roof & vinyl windows & appliances 5-10 yrs ago and a New engineered septic is being put in at this time. This highly desired farm community is located just south of Chico & 100 miles north of Sacramento. It is known for its orchards, good soils, popular schools & parks. Don't let the opportunity to own a piece of country in the coveted Durham area. This property is being sold as an estate, but a non-occupant executor. They do not have documentation for work done except for the septic that is currently being installed and so the dates are general recall and may not be accurate. Lot size, Sq ft, and Year built all taken from county records, buyer to verify all information to satisfaction.
