A secluded farmhouse retreat in the heart of Reliez Valley 3 Bed + Office | 2.5 Bath | 2895± Sq. Ft. Main House 420± Sq. Ft. Guest Cottage with Full Kitchen + Bath 461± Sq. Ft. Auxiliary Building + Full Bath + 434± Sq. Ft. Storage 2.45± Private, Gated Acres Behind private gates in Lafayette's Reliez Valley, 1751 Reliez Valley Road is a rare farmhouse retreat set across 2.45± acres. A winding drive rises through mature oaks and gardens, and with every turn, the rest of the world falls a little further behind. At the end waits a custom farmhouse, a detached guest cottage, and a separate auxiliary building, all wrapped in the natural beauty that makes this pocket of Lafayette so special. This is a place where life finds a different rhythm: coffee among the gardens, afternoons by the pool, and evenings that end around the fire with nowhere else to be. THE MAIN HOUSE Step inside and the farmhouse feels instantly at ease. The 2,895± square foot, three-bedroom + office residence is warm, relaxed, and connected to its surroundings. Wide-plank pine floors, cathedral ceilings, and walls of windows bring character and natural light throughout. The formal living room centers around a fireplace made for cool nights and good conversation, while the dining room overlooks the pool and gardens beyond, so every meal comes with a view. At the heart of the home, the modern farmhouse kitchen was made for gathering, with custom cabinetry and a generous center island. It is the kind of kitchen where the day begins, friends pull up a stool, and dinner has a way of turning into an evening. A Wolf range anchors it all, ready for slow Sunday sauces, holiday feasts, and every weeknight in between. THE GUEST COTTAGE Tucked away from the main residence, the 420± square foot detached cottage gives guests a place that feels entirely their own. With a full kitchen, full bath, and open living area, guests can wake on their own schedule, and long stays feel comfortable rather than an imposition. It is equally at home as a private office with genuine separation from the main house, where the commute is just steps from the primary residence. THE AUXILIARY BUILDING A third standalone building, complete with its own full bath, creates even more freedom to make the property your own. Picture early workouts with the doors open to the oaks, a music studio where no one minds the volume, and an art space filled with afternoon light.

This private, 2+ acre estate has secluded and well tended grounds. A very peaceful setting. The main house is fully up to date with new appliances. It has lots of natural light from many windows. High ceilings and warm wood flooring.
Beautiful 2.45-acre Lafayette property near Briones Park with a main farmhouse, guest cottage, and extra building for a gym or office. The 4BD/2.5BA home has a great kitchen, pool, outdoor dining area, firepit, and gardens. Peaceful setting close to...
trails, great schools, and downtown Lafayette.

Baywood, located between Downtown Lafayette and the Lafayette Reservoir, is a residential and hillside Lafayette neighborhood with winding lanes and mature tree cover. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Mt Diablo Boulevard near the Lafayette BART Plaza, where sidewalk patios, independent boutiques, and coffee counters set a steady daytime rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century ranch homes and updated California contemporaries tucked into sloped lots. Lafayette Park frames the local outdoor routine with ballfields, courts, and shaded paths. The Lafayette Library and Learning Center adds a civic, design-forward anchor for reading rooms and community events. Town Hall Theatre and Sideboard keep the cultural calendar and café scene distinctly local.
