Spectacular Mid-Century Modern Equestrian Estate in Lafayette

Set on over ten acres of private land, 575 Morecroft Road is a rare opportunity to own one of Lafayette’s most striking equestrian properties. With panoramic views across the county and direct trail access to Las Trampas State Park, this property brings together timeless architecture, natural beauty, and an authentic equestrian lifestyle.

Architectural Heritage

Designed by award-winning architect Hirsch Morton, this Mid-Century Modern residence embodies the essence of California living. The home’s four bedrooms and three bathrooms have clean lines, warm wood finishes, and expansive walls of glass that open the living spaces to the surrounding landscape. Period details pay homage to its heritage, while the open-concept layout welcomes natural light and creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

A Home in Harmony with Nature
The design prioritizes connection with the outdoors: soaring windows frame sweeping vistas, light spills across every room, and terraces invite year-round enjoyment of Lafayette’s sunlit climate. Whether entertaining or retreating in solitude, the property offers a rare sense of calm and space, just minutes from the conveniences of town.

Equestrian Facilities
For the equestrian enthusiast, the estate delivers everything needed for a world-class horse property:
  • ±3,000 SF barn with 8 stalls and 8 paddocks (75' x 40')
  • Covered and lit round pen (54' diameter)
  • Direct access to miles of trails and the open expanses of Las Trampas State Park
These facilities are meticulously maintained, providing both functionality and comfort for horses and riders alike.

Future Potential
Beyond its current use, the property includes parcel division potential. The north side of the parcel features an access and utility easement allowing for no more than three additional residences (no city approvals currently in place). Access is from Leeward Glen Road, off Rohrer Drive.

The Opportunity
575 Morecroft Road is more than a home — it is a lifestyle estate, offering architectural pedigree, equestrian excellence, and future opportunity on a grand scale. Rarely does a property of this caliber come to market in Lafayette.

about this

Low on density and high on greenery, Lafayette offers rolling hillsides, excellent schools, and an easy commute to Oakland and San Francisco thanks to the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in the town center.
The Happy Valley area features meandering country roads and showplace estate homes perched on large hillside parcels that offer panoramic views of the valley. Mediterranean, English, and French Country architecture populate the landscaped neighborhoods.
Lafayette’s central business district offers quality shopping and dining for locals and visitors alike. Restaurants such as Artisan Bistro, Chevalier, and Metro Lafayette are thriving. For those seeking old-fashioned comfort food, Millie’s Kitchen is a popular breakfast and brunch restaurant with large portions and modest prices.
Lafayette Reservoir is open year-round for boating, fishing, picnicking, and hiking. After a long day on the water, locals head to The Roundup Saloon, a throwback to the days of rowdy roadhouses.
