“Under All is The Land”
A very wise man made that famous observation many years ago … but nowhere has the importance of that been brought home like in the Bay area and particularly in Lafayette.
The highly rated Acalanes Union District and the town's proximity to the 680-24 junction, along with the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, have helped emphasized the point. One area in particular has outstripped the others and that is "Happy Valley". This is due to the predominant one acre zoning and the abundance of level usable parcels. However, Happy Valley has become a very busy street and is not the kid friendly sleepy neighborhood it once represented.
Over the past 6 years or so, another area has come in to prominence … for much the same reasons. That is the area encompassing Rancho View Rd and Drive … Johnson Rd … and Echo Springs. Although related by distance, they are not connected by through streets. Each area is served by small and generally private roads with no through traffic and remains the perfect place to raise a family.
3362 Johnson Rd lies in the middle of this exclusive neighborhood and is surrounded by large estate homes.
The home is rock solid and full of interesting architectural features. It would be the perfect place to fulfill all your ideas … and is a fully functional home while you develop your plans.
Over 4300 square ft of space including a massive great room, even a fully equipped exercise room.
A large very private rear yard.
Beautiful grounds.
Guest House Plans
One of the most interesting aspects of the property is the approximate ½ level acre in front and slightly down from the main home. Plans are underway for a separate guest/in law quarters which would make an ideal situation for extended family living. It would have spectacular views of Mt Diablo and the Valley as well as spacious yard and gardens areas. Here are a few preliminary sketches:
There is of course no guarantee these follow all the Lafayette second unit guidelines but is an attempt to adhere to most of the regulation currently in place.
The parcel could also accommodate horses, a vineyard or whatever your specific needs or desires might be.
Offered at $1,920,000
