Parking is easy, with a four-car garage and a separate parking court. Springhill Elementary and Acalanes High are moments away.

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, well removed from road noise, this exceptional Happy Valley property—offered for the first time since 1967—provides rare tranquility on a private ¾-acre setting. Expansive, thoughtfully curated gardens and sitting areas—featured in Better Homes and Gardens, HGTV, and Sunset Magazine, and showcased in multiple garden tours—create a sanctuary framed by mature oaks, redwoods, and the gentle sound of a year-round creek. Inside, a thoughtfully designed layout separates living and entertaining spaces from the private bedroom wing. The kitchen and adjoining breakfast nook open to a generous living room with a wood-burning fireplace and expansive views of the swimming pool and gardens beyond. A hallway leads to the bedroom wing, passing an enclosed garden courtyard—an unexpected retreat with decorative wrought-iron details. A signature architectural feature is the pool, which begins inside the dining room and extends beneath a walkway into the backyard. The striking indoor-outdoor connection is the home’s distinctive focal point. The private wing includes four bedrooms, all with garden or creek views. The principal suite is ideally positioned to capture the surrounding landscape and features an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. A large storage room offers potential for a fifth bedroom with views of two garden courtyards. A detached ADU/studio provides an ideal space for guests, a home office, or gym. The backyard is equally inviting, with the pool framed by mature trees and lush plantings, and multiple areas for relaxing or entertaining. A circular driveway and three-car garage provide ample parking, with additional space along the private lane. It’s just walking distance to the Briones Regional Park trailhead. Located just minutes from downtown Lafayette, Highway 24, and BART—and within the highly regarded Lafayette school district—the property offers an exceptional blend of privacy, accessibility, and natural beauty. Offered for the first time in nearly six decades, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Happy Valley’s most distinctive properties.
