About Cohasset
A mountain hamlet in the pines above Chico, Cohasset was settled by Finnish immigrants and still feels like a Sierra foothill outpost — orchards, forest roads, and big views over the Sacramento Valley. After the 2024 Park Fire, the resilient community is rebuilding; buyers get foothill acreage 15 minutes from Chico State.
