Metro area – and Orlando, Florida.

 The assets were acquired for a combined total of $99.175 million, according to John Williams, President and CIO of Avanath Capital Management.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – JLL announces that the celebrated Napa Soda Springs, one of the largest continuous parcels of land in California’s Napa Valley, is available for sale for the first time in more than 40 years.

Napa Soda Spring’s varied and diverse topography features the healing waters of Soda Creek, a stunning 80-foot waterfall, vistas of Poppy Hill, the magma rock-strewn slope of Babylon Plane, and a multitude of free flowing mineral springs that have been historically prized and bottled for their taste and health-giving properties. 

Designated by the County of Napa as a “Landmark of Historical Significance,” stone remnants of the historic resort remain, inviting restoration and adaptive re-use. 

Located at 2000 Soda Springs Road, and 15 minutes from downtown Napa, the parcel is central to the culinary, wine and cultural experiences that draw visitors from all over the globe to Napa.  

Numerous premier Napa Wineries and regaled restaurants of the region are all within a short drive via the Silverado Trail or the Mt. St. Helena Highway.

“Napa Soda Springs represents a rare and generational ownership opportunity that offers access to all the best the Napa Valley has to offer,” JLL’s Gerry Rohm said.
