PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:

This amazing property is a time capsule to 1906. Known originally as "The Sycamores" and later as "The Mansion" to citizens of Los Molinos, this home represents the height of the building art for its time. Built for Mary Cone Runyan Wheeler, daughter of Joseph Cone, owner of tens of thousands of acres in Tehama County at the turn of the nineteenth century, the home is at once grand, yet at the same time surprisingly cozy. Nestled on 24 acres of pastures, orchards, and vineyards, and with a pool, pool house, carports and garages, the 4,279 sq. ft. home boasts extensive stonework inside and out. Hand-hewn posts and beams, oak paneling, Douglas fir floors, and expansive terraces on both levels all express the feeling of gracious living. Upstairs, the home features four bedrooms, three baths, and a separate sewing or hobby room. Downstairs are found the kitchen with large pantry, dining area, parlor with an inglenook fireplace, library, powder room, and a bedroom and bath, originally for staff. The full basement and full attic offer expansion possibilities. Within easy commuting distance to Chico or Red Bluff, The Sycamores is a perfect property for architectural enthusiasts, history buffs, or a growing family looking for a gracious country home with all the amenities and the quality of life only a distinctive country property can offer.
