40 Years

of family-owned excellence.

Shastan Homes is a family-owned real estate development and new home design / build company in Chico, California. Founded in 1977 by Jay and Linda Halbert, Shastan Homes have complemented Butte County with construction of over 1200 new homes and apartment units in the greater Chico area over the past 40 years.

Although Holli would spend her summers as a kid working construction clean up, she started working for her dad, Jay, on the development side in January 2006. She went on to work in San Francisco for a high-end luxury design / build firm. In 2015, she returned to Chico and started work with Shastan once again.
