1015 Geysers Road

In the European countryside, there is a certain kind of house people will cross oceans to find: an old mill in Provence, a centuries-old stone building in Tuscany, places where authentic architecture and extraordinary settings become the very reason for the journey. This home, known as The Power House, is exactly that kind of place. Olive trees, gravel pathways, and manicured boxwoods frame the groomed grounds, composed over decades by famed landscape architect Todd Cole, and give the grounds an unmistakably European sensibility. Life here settles naturally into an easy rhythm. Start the morning with coffee in the courtyard. Spend the afternoon by the pool, linger over lunch beneath the pavilion, gather flowers or vegetables from the cutting garden, or wander to the banks of Big Sulphur Creek. Beyond the lawn, a secluded sitting area frames one of the property's most mesmerizing views: moving water, dramatic canyon walls, and light that changes by the hour. Two parcels totaling ~9 creek-front acres offer sweeping canyon and hillside vistas in every direction. While the setting feels timeless, the recent restoration ensures the property performs as beautifully as it presents. It lives like 2026. At the heart of the recently restored home is a remarkable ~40' x 40' great room with soaring ceilings, smooth stucco walls, polished concrete floors, and custom windows overlooking the creek. An enormous fireplace, detailed with herringbone firebrick and crowned by a sculptural steel hood, anchors the space. Along one wall, custom-crafted Sapele wood doors fitted with Van Cronenberg hardware dissolve the distinction between house and garden, making indoors and outdoors feel less like separate spaces and more like an extension of the home. This is a room made for long dinners, memorable celebrations, and conversations that drift well past midnight beneath the glow of iconic George Nelson Bubble Lights. Its scale was purposeful. Built in 1903 to provide power for the Italian Swiss Colony's wine empire and later serving as a PG&E powerhouse, the building now enjoys an extraordinary second life. The original painted sign beside the entrance still reads, "No Admittance. Danger." Guests will happily ignore the warning and very likely will not want to leave. Healdsburg's celebrated restaurants are only 20 minutes away and just 80 miles north of San Francisco in northern Sonoma County, sitting at the heart of Alexander Valley wine country. A world away from ordinary.
