Overview

Before it was a home, it powered 3 towns and was the engine of an empire. The structure began as a steam-generating power plant that converted water into power for a legendary Sonoma wine enterprise that went on to win 10 international gold medals and later became the second-most-visited destination in CA after Disneyland. In the 1950s, it caught the eye of an heir to the Northwestern Pacific Railroad family who converted it into a residence. He called it The Power House. The name stuck. One wall still bears the original restored painted sign: No Admittance. Danger. (The only danger is not wanting to leave!) After Foster, landscape architect Todd Cole, whose work has been recognized as some of the most evocative in CA, added his own imprint to the grounds and the property's design sensibility deepened further. Ancient olive trees anchor the property with the kind of permanence that takes decades to earn. Native plantings, gravel pathways, and considered sight lines invite exploration throughout the property. The heart of the recently restored home is a ~40' x ~40' great room with ~20-foot ceilings, smooth stucco walls, polished concrete radiant-heated floors, and custom windows looking out to the creek. An enormous fireplace with herringbone-patterned fire bricks and a steel hood anchors the space. The kitchen features high ceilings, custom cabinetry, marble counters, a vintage Wedgewood stove, and doors leading to the entry courtyard on one side and to the creek area on the other. The primary suite, with a very cool Mid-Century Modern vibe, opens to a private terrace with a water feature. Two additional bedroom suites sit on opposite sides of the house. A dedicated office and a powder room complete the interior. Outside, the property opens further: a swimming pool and pavilion, a cutting + vegetable garden, and even a place for guests. Then there's Big Sulphur Creek itself running along the full length of the property. Two parcels totaling ~9 creek-front acres offer canyon and hill views in every direction. Located 80 miles north of San Francisco in Sonoma County, sitting at the heart of Alexander Valley wine country, 20 minutes from Healdsburg. A world away from ordinary.
