Villa for sale in Zurichberg, Zurich, Switzerland

This beautiful villa declares love for space and time, architecture and history. With its incredible past, dignified stateliness, and sheer exclusivity, the mansion provides harmonious and timeless elegance in one of the most beautiful residential locations in the entire region.

The property rests majestically on the upper, northernmost part of an extensive 2,888 sq m grounds, overlooking the fabulous, park-like garden. These exceptionally generous exteriors are rare in otherwise very densely developed cities such as Zurich.

Echoing the neo-classical style with its two entrance gates, the approach to the villa is lined with yew hedges and natural stone walls and leads you straight to the representative forecourt in front of the villa's main entrance. It comprises eleven rooms with extra-high ceilings spread over four levels and has over six hundred square meters of living space. It includes three sequentially arranged, imposing salons that face the park on the ground floor and convey the distinctly privileged lifestyle.

With the option to install an elevator, the floors would be easily accessible. There are enough spaces on the lower ground floor to install a spa, various utility rooms, and a double garage.

The impressive external appearance, the appealing arrangement of rooms on the main floors, plus the construction itself have been designated worthy of protection and must be retained under the terms of the preservation order. All the relevant inquiries have been made in the meantime, and building permission for a complete renovation is available.

Because of the history of this distinctive property, its enchanting surroundings, laid out in their diverse areas, have also been listed as heritage-protected and should be re-landscaped in consultation with the environmental planning authority of Zurich.

Please note this property is subject to Swiss residency permit requirements.
