Chip and Joanna Gaines have met their match in small town Lafayette.
This remarkable property on 2.45 acres was curated to perfection for the nature lover, romantic, gardener, chef, entertainer and of course an epic sprawling playground for the adventurer.
The magic of this property embraces you as you pass through the custom entry gate and make your way down the extraordinary Incrediball hydrangea and lavender lined driveway and wind over a meandering creek. Prepare to be transported to the countryside and idyllic farm to table lifestyle just minutes from downtown Lafayette.
Built in 1997 the main house embraces the timeless architecture of a traditional farmhouse with a covered wrap around porch, gabled roof, high ceilings, light, and airy spaces with walls of windows and wide plank pine hardwood flooring. The spacious four bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom main house has been updated to perfection. Incredible formal living room with cathedral ceilings, impressive fireplace, formal dining room that overlooks pool and expansive grounds. The farm kitchen has been modernized with new Wolf range, stainless-steel appliances, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, custom inset cabinetry, and island.
Extraordinary opportunity to step out of the kitchen to cut peonies, harvest fresh honey, berries, fruits, and vegetables year-round. The outdoor kitchen is just as impressive with peninsula seating, kegerator, beverage refrigerator, gaucho grill, flat top grill, sink and storage area.
The fully fenced sprawling grounds are a gardener's paradise (all irrigated by a well fed by a natural spring), featuring an espalier fruit vineyard inspired by the French countryside.
Dine and wine taste under crushed granite seating area shaded by a ~100-year-old majestic oak with vineyard view that overlooks pool and pool deck. Dirt bike or ATV on trails to tree house with slide, sport court and custom wooden play structure.
End the day roasting marshmallows and warming up by the gas firepit (with safety timer) tucked by the seasonal creek and natural springs. Need more adventure – access endless hiking and biking trails in Briones Regional Park from the backyard.
Additional highlights include a detached guest cottage with a full kitchen, living area, bedroom, and laundry. Bonus auxiliary building perfect for home gym, office, workshop, and storage. Plans available for garage and additional primary ensuite bedroom.
This perfect blend of town and country is located just minutes from Lafayette’s quaint shops and restaurants, Hwy 24/680, and Walnut Creek’s bustling downtown. Award winning Lafayette Schools.
