Spectacular Mid-Century Modern 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 and desireable 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 rural lifestyle, with easy access to town and schools.
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.
For the Equestrian or Hobby Farmer:
For the equestrian enthusiast, the estate delivers everything needed for a world-class horse property:
Future Potential- Vineyard, tennis court, pool, ADU potential. Car collector?
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.

From Little Leagues to Rotary Clubs; from drama groups to an archery club, there is something to peak everyone’s interest in being a participant in the community. The Lafayette Community Center offers a myriad of activities for all Lafayette residents from preschoolers through older adults and seniors. Living here means enjoying being a daily part of the community and having a say in what matters. Lafayette understands that your hometown is for living.
