The estate’s grounds feature multiple patios, covered porches, a rose garden, chicken coop, colorful art studio, and an oversized tennis court with pickleball lines. Majestic redwoods, Italian cypress trees, Japanese maples, cherry blossoms, and mature fruit trees create a lush landscape with a beauty and permanence that only comes with time.

Known for its rolling hills, leafy neighborhoods, highly regarded schools, and charming small-town atmosphere, Lafayette offers a rare combination of natural beauty and convenient access to the greater Bay Area. Located along the Highway 24 corridor, the community has its own BART station in the heart of downtown, providing convenient access to San Francisco.
Among Lafayette’s most coveted neighborhoods, Happy Valley is distinguished by winding, tree-lined roads, beautiful natural surroundings, and impressive custom homes and estates. Properties range from classic ranch homes to grand residences inspired by English, French Country, Mediterranean, and contemporary architecture, many set on expansive parcels surrounded by mature landscaping.
Downtown Lafayette has evolved into a lively, walkable destination centered along Mt. Diablo Boulevard, with an appealing mix of locally owned boutiques, cafés, restaurants, wine bars, and gathering places. Popular dining destinations include Postino, RÊVE Bistro, The Hideout Kitchen, Social Bird, Sideboard, Batch & Brine, Locanda Positano, and longtime favorite Metro Lafayette. The Lafayette Plaza serves as a community gathering spot and hosts seasonal events that add to the city's welcoming, village-like feel.
Outdoor recreation is equally central to the Lafayette lifestyle. The Lafayette Reservoir offers year-round hiking, jogging, fishing, boating, picnicking, and scenic trails just minutes from downtown. An extensive network of neighborhood trails also connects portions of Lafayette to the surrounding hills and open spaces, including Briones Regional Park.
With its picturesque setting, strong sense of community, vibrant downtown, outdoor recreation, and convenient Bay Area location, Lafayette continues to offer an exceptional blend of relaxed suburban living and sophisticated amenities.
