Tucked away in one of Lower Paradise’s premier locations, this extraordinary French Country-inspired estate is a rare blend of timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and natural beauty. Situated on over 6 beautifully maintained, usable acres, this nearly 2,600 sq. ft. original-owner home showcases remarkable pride of ownership and thoughtful details throughout.
Beyond the automatic gated entrance, the picturesque setting and architectural details immediately impress. Inside, gorgeous 3/4-inch oak hardwood floors, rich woodwork, and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The living room features a fireplace, while the character-filled kitchen offers tongue-and-groove cabinetry, a dual-fuel range, wine chiller, island, and charming breakfast nook, complemented by a formal dining room.
The primary suite is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, expansive walk-in closet, private patio, and beautifully updated marble bathroom featuring a stunning clawfoot tub with gorgeous views. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a main-level flex room, and an upstairs bonus family room featuring a woodstove, wet bar, and distinctive turret, the home offers wonderful versatility and inviting spaces to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
Outside, the exceptional setting continues with a sparkling saltwater pool surrounded by stamped concrete, hot tub, beautiful landscaping, and a covered entertaining pavilion complete with a fireplace, TV, and fully equipped outdoor kitchen. A year-round creek runs along the lower portion of the property, while fruit trees, a fenced garden, and playground area add to its appeal.
Additional amenities include an oversized attached 2-car garage, RV/wood storage carport, and an impressive insulated shop with approximately 1,600 sq. ft. of covered space, two lean-tos, roll-up doors at both ends, and a pellet stove, plus two storage sheds. The fully fenced property also features Paradise Irrigation District water, a whole-house automatic generator, newer HVAC, and a whole-house fan.
Ideally situated near Lake Oroville and the Lime Saddle boat launch, with easy access for commuters, this remarkable estate offers privacy, versatility, beauty, convenience and a setting that’s truly hard to replicate. From the craftsmanship and personal touches throughout to the breathtaking views framed by every window this is truly a special property where the setting is every bit as impressive as the home itself.
