Blackstone ® buys the Stanly Ranch in Napa Valley, California

Apr 3

“Through a foreclosure sale, the New York-based real estate giant buys Auberge-managed Stanly Ranch, NAPA VALLEY, California. Blackstone, which had previously acquired the debt on the property, has acquired the Stanly Ranch in Napa Valley, California, through a foreclosure sale after the ownership group, SRGA LP, defaulted on a $220 million loan tied to the 700-acre property.

The 135-room property with villas and vineyard homes opened in 2022 and will continue to be managed byAuberge Resorts Collection, according to Blackstone.

The financial trouble for the property escalated in March when a group involved in developing the resort filed a $100 million lawsuit against investment partners tied to the project.

“(The) luxury resort just one hour from San Francisco, which we believe is well positioned to benefit from rising group and leisure demand for wellness and experiential travel, alongside the continued growth in corporate travel to the region as AI adoption accelerates,” Blackstone Real Estate Senior Managing Director, Scott Trebilco, said in a statement.

Blackstone ® has been bullish on the Bay Area and its AI-related development for at least a year now, having acquired the 277-room Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco in December for a reported $130 million.

It also acquired a 25-story office building in San Francisco, which was subsequently leased to the AI firm Anthropic.” By Jeffrey Weinstein | March 31, 2026
