Owning a wine country vacation retreat is a fantasy for many, and the innovative thinkers who developed Stanly Ranch, Auberge Resort Collection just made that dream easier to fulfill at the Residences at Stanly Ranch.


Nestled in between Napa and Sonoma wine counties—in the Los Carneros region of Napa Valley—the expansive property boasts 700 acres of luxurious accommodations, culinary gardens, entertainment facilities and vineyards. The concept was co-developed by Nichols Partnership and Selby Development Group, with the goal of providing a turnkey, second-home opportunity that is enhanced by Auberge’s signature quality amenities and programming. “At Stanly Ranch, we offer our residents a lifestyle which goes beyond homeownership,” said Lindsay Moore, Director of Residences at Stanly Ranch, Auberge Resorts Collection. “Our owners become part of an exclusive community enhanced by a series of private partnerships, exclusive activations including premier vintage tastings, falconry experiences, cooking classes, chef demonstrations, home cocktail classes, wine club curations, resident gatherings and community garden activations and tours, allowing them to experience the best of Napa Valley’s vibrant culture.”

Potential owners have the option to purchase one of the two residential options that can also be a part of the resorts rental program, when not in use. Currently there are 24 Vineyard Homes and 20 fully furnished Villas available for immediate occupancy. Designed by architect Bob White of Forest Studios, the rustic-modern-style Vineyard Homes feature three-to-six-bedroom configurations and ample areas for the entire family to enjoy. The two-bedroom, two-and-half-bath villas are perfect for smaller families and offer a more contemporary style that was brought to life by designer Janice Clausen of Clausen-Collaborative Interior Design. Each residence was designed to take full advantage of the Wine Country climate with indoor/outdoor experiences like outdoor bathrooms, terraces and more while providing a luxurious and immersive wine-country energy and an ideal retreat for relaxation.

The residences offer a unique combination of elevated design infused with the bold, dynamic energy of the region, creating the perfect sanctuary for those seeking a second home, corporate investment, or pied-à-terre in the heart of Napa Valley.”
