875 El Monte Avenue

How would you love to live directly across from Bidwell Park on your own equestrian estate? At 875 El Monte, 3.25 acres unfold into a specialty ranch property where country living and Chico’s most iconic park meet at your doorstep. Inside, the home has received amazing upgrades with new electrical, insulation, drywall, air ducting, electrical boxes, a brand-new septic system, a new pump in the front pump house, and fully revamped irrigation. With the infrastructure complete, the home is ready to be finished to your exact vision. Design the interior as you see fit, whether you imagine a modern ranch-style residence, a timeless farmhouse with warm wood accents, or a contemporary retreat that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
Outside, the acreage opens endless possibilities for equestrian living. Existing horse stalls provide a foundation for a working ranch or private boarding setup, with room to expand into riding arenas or additional pastures. The land is set up for function but delivers lifestyle, ride at sunrise, host gatherings under the stars, and step directly across the road into Bidwell Park’s miles of trails and natural beauty. Adding to its versatility, the property also includes an ADU on-site - ideal for extended living, a guest house, or private quarters for ranch staff. This additional dwelling expands the property’s potential, offering flexibility that matches the scale and character of the estate. Here, land and lifestyle come together, giving you the rare chance to create something lasting. 875 El Monte offers equestrian acreage in a premier setting that combines the freedom of ranch living with the convenience of being moments from Chico’s heart. Properties of this caliber: with acreage, infrastructure, equestrian facilities, and direct access to Bidwell Park - are rarely available, making this a chance to create not just a home, but a timeless place.
