This will be a thoughtfully scaled hospitality compound, on a generous 0.3 acre lot that includes permitted plans from City of Napa for a 8 key hospitality offering. The project includes: a 4,761 SF two-story, 5BD/5.5 BA main villa and three independent 536 SF single-level 1BD/1BA guest cottages, complemented by shared amenities including a pool and indoor-outdoor gathering spaces. The City of Napa approved permit reinstatement for the 8BD B&B, with issuance anticipated in mid April 2026. Significant entitlement work has already been completed, including Phase I construction and site preparation. The substantial investment materially reduces the path to completion. Plans are available for an 11BD/12BA concept which received a use permit from the City of Napa in 2020. These plans are available for review upon request. Napa is a world-class entertainment and wellness destination, drawing a consistent mix of leisure travelers, corporate groups, and high-net-worth visitors year-round. Its proximity to San Francisco (approx 1 hour), combined with access to Napa County Airport with full-service FBO, is efficient for arrival by both commercial and private aviation. Downtown Napa serves as the Valley's most operationally efficient hub, offering quick access to dining, tasting rooms, and services while providing direct connectivity to the broader Napa Valley. This combination of regional demand, transportation access, and concentrated amenities makes Napa uniquely suited for boutique B&B operations and executive-level retreats seeking both convenience and destination appeal.
