This is a very special opportunity to own a rare riverfront parcel on the majestic Feather River in Chester. Perfectly situated on Feather River Drive, the property enjoys a prime location at the edge of Old Towne—just a short stroll to coffee shops, local restaurants, charming boutiques, and all town services. Across the river lies Chester Park, where you can hear the crack of a Little League bat while you relax on the riverside deck. Enjoy the soothing hot tub, open rock fireplace, and the tranquil sounds of the river—rushing in spring, then turning to a lazy meander in late summer and fall. From your back door, watch ducks, geese, deer, and other abundant wildlife in their natural habitat, or drop your line into your personal deep fishing hole. This cabin exudes rustic charm, featuring original knotty pine tongue-and-groove woodwork, a cozy living area with wood stove, a spacious kitchen with concrete countertops, one bedroom, and one bath. Owner has upgraded electrical, plumbing, and much more over the years. The heat pump provides heat and air conditioning to keep you comfortable in all seasons. The back deck sits just above the water’s edge—it doesn’t get more idyllic than this. At the front of the property stands a newer heated 3-car garage (built in 2000), with space for an RV/trailer, additional vehicles, & recreational toys. Inside, a large workbench and half bath make it a craftsman’s dream. The roof on the garage is only 2 years old. Above the garage is a spacious studio apartment, complete with open living/sleeping area, kitchenette, and full bath—ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. A heated concrete driveway ensures winter convenience, while two adjoining carports provide even more covered parking.The property is enhanced by mature trees, sprawling lawns, and lush landscaping, creating a serene, park-like setting. Just 30 miles from Lassen Volcanic National Park and minutes to the Olsen Barn, Lake Almanor, and endless acres of forest, creeks, lakes, and meadows, this location is a true outdoor enthusiast’s paradise.
