Perched along the canyon edge of Canyon Oaks Country Club, this custom Mediterranean estate by master builder Michael Gali is one of Chico's most extraordinary properties — 5,824 square feet of inspired architecture, seamlessly woven into 1.2 acres of curated landscape with direct access to Upper Bidwell Park and the South Rim Trail just beyond your door.
Arrive via a sweeping granite paver circular driveway and step through a covered entrance that signals what lies within. A soaring spiral staircase rises from an Italian marble foyer, leading the eye upward through light-washed volumes framed by dramatic rotunda windows with unobstructed canyon panoramas. The great room doesn't just capture a view — it erases the boundary between inside and out.
The chef's kitchen is outfitted with full Viking appliances, a double oven, and handcrafted mahogany cabinetry. The primary suite is a private sanctuary: step onto your own terrace, unwind in a marble column-framed soaking tub, or luxuriate under dual showers with floor-to-ceiling canyon views that make every morning feel like a retreat.
A richly appointed library with fireplace and terrace access, a private home theater, five fireplaces throughout, radiant floor heating, Lutron automated drapes, smart lighting, and whole-home surround sound — this residence is as intelligent as it is beautiful. Owned solar and a water softener complete the picture of thoughtful, modern living.
Outside, a shimmering pool is flanked by multiple verandas, a poolside bath, and a private steam room — the perfect decompression after a morning hike or an afternoon on the golf course. Above it all, a rooftop terrace delivers sweeping canyon and sunset views that simply must be experienced. Below, a temperature-controlled in-ground wine cellar awaits your collection.
This is not just a home. It is an experience — one that rewards you differently every hour of the day.
