Home to Hillendale Golf Course, with an existing restaurant and banquet facility, 218 N. Applegate Road offers a starting point for a concept that builds upon its recreational identity while exploring new ways to welcome visitors and serve the surrounding community. The vision could preserve a nine-hole golf experience while thoughtfully repurposing portions of the property into a complementary mix of boutique lodging, glamping accommodations, event spaces, and housing. Rather than a single-purpose destination, imagine a place where guests can play a morning round, gather for a wedding, enjoy an extended weekend retreat, or make their home within a recreation-oriented community. A hospitality component could include cabins, glamping, cottages, luxury tents, or a boutique inn designed around outdoor gathering spaces and a relaxed connection to the landscape. Weddings, private celebrations, corporate retreats, and community events could complement golf activity, with on-site accommodations offering guests the convenience of staying where they celebrate. Residential concepts could range from clustered cottages and townhomes to longer-term rental housing, thoughtfully separated from guest accommodations and active event areas. Walking paths, shared green spaces, outdoor dining, and wellness programming could connect the different uses while helping preserve the property’s open-space character.
