Gracefully set on 1.2 acres in the exclusive Canyon Oaks Country Club, this Mediterranean-inspired estate is a rare expression of enduring beauty and refined living. Thoughtfully envisioned by its original owners and masterfully built by renowned custom homebuilder Michael Gali, the residence captures the essence of architectural sophistication, elevated comfort, and seamless integration with its natural surroundings. Nestled along the boundary of Upper Bidwell Park, the property has direct access to the South Rim Trail, offering unobstructed entry to Chico’s most iconic landscapes. A welcoming circular driveway, gracefully created with granite pavers, winds through the property and sets the tone for a truly unforgettable arrival. An inviting storybook-style balcony, poised beside a majestic covered entrance, evokes the feeling of timeless grandeur. Inside, a dramatic foyer reveals soaring ceilings, a sweeping spiral staircase, and radiant light dancing across Italian marble floors. The Great Room features striking rotunda windows with panoramic canyon views, seamlessly blending the indoors with nature. The chef’s kitchen boasts all-Viking appliances, a double oven, and bespoke mahogany cabinetry. Four spacious bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths include a primary suite with private terrace, sunken palatial tub framed by marble columns, and dual showers offering floor-to-ceiling views-an unforgettable start or end to any day. An ambient mezzanine connects the home’s wings, while a richly appointed library features a fireplace, built-ins, and terrace access. A three-car tiled garage blends style with practicality. Modern amenities abound: a private theater, five fireplaces, radiant floor heating, Lutron drapes, smart lighting, surround sound, water softener, and owned solar ensure comfort and efficiency. Outdoors, enjoy a shimmering pool, multiple verandas, a poolside bath and designer shower. A separate steam room offers a luxurious spa-like escape, perfect for relaxing after a hike or a day on the green.
