Be inspired by the compound of 3 existing dwellings including a more than 5,800 square-foot sprawling single-level home, a 1,000-square-foot guest cottage, and a two-level unit consisting of a 1,000 square-foot shop with a kitchen and a half bath, plus a 2 bed, one bath apartment above.
Gorgeous natural woods and stones, walls of windows, sliders, and skylights maximize the indoor-outdoor California lifestyle. Meanwhile, the park-like setting, bordered by towering old growth trees including magnificent oaks and redwoods, backs up to a creek and includes a fruit tree orchard, covered brick patios and decks.
Already an oasis of tranquility and peaceful solitude, the property’s potential to reawaken into an incredible resort-inspired design is limitless. Add pool and spa, tennis, bocce, putting green or outdoor kitchen. Take advantage of the existing well water to irrigate a vineyard or olive tree grove and design enchanting gardens destined to be a future stop on local garden tours.
Located just three minutes from the charming downtown Lafayette, BART, Highway 24 and less than 20 miles to downtown San Francisco.
