Saddle up -- this is the country homestead setup home buyers are looking for. Situated on 5 fully usable acres between Redding and Palo Cedro, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home offers 1,600+ sq ft of comfortable living space with a cozy fireplace anchoring the living area and a floor plan that's easy to live in and easy to make your own. Big-ticket items are already handled with a new HVAC system (2025) and a roof replaced within the last five years. The land is where this one shines: fully fenced and cross-fenced pastures ready for horses or livestock from day one, a small shop/horse barn for tack, hay, or projects, and a seasonal pond that brings the whole setting to life. Whether you're starting a hobby farm, bringing your horses home, or simply want privacy without a long commute, you get true country living just minutes from town, schools, and shopping. Properties with this much usable, animal-ready acreage don't come along often at this price point.
