Custom Home Builder in Lafayette, Oregon

Lafayette is a small Yamhill County community positioned between McMinnville and Dundee along Highway 99W — right in the corridor that connects Oregon wine country's most celebrated areas. Despite its modest size, Lafayette offers a strategic location with quick access to both towns and the Dundee Hills.

Building in Lafayette

Lafayette's building sites range from in-town lots along the highway corridor to rural parcels extending toward the hills north and south of town. The Yamhill River runs nearby, and some properties carry floodplain considerations that require careful site selection. We evaluate these factors during our initial consultation to ensure your site supports the home you want to build.

Lafayette's central location in wine country makes it ideal for clients who want to be minutes from McMinnville's restaurants and Dundee's tasting rooms without paying the premium of building in either town. The community's smaller scale also means a quieter, more residential feel — neighbors, not tourists.
