An architectural gem with a rich history
Anyone dreaming of a green oasis in the middle of Zurich will find what they are looking for in the” Hermitage “villa. This unique property combines the flair of an idyllic country estate with the amenities of city life. Nestled in a park-like garden with majestic trees, you can enjoy peace, privacy and proximity to Zurich's best addresses, such as Seefeld, the lakeside promenades on Lake Zurich and the mountain ranges of Burghölzli and Zurichberg. From 2021 to 2023, the property was comprehensively renovated — both inside and outside to the highest level.
The property is located in a popular residential area at the foot of the Zurichberg, known for its extensive green spaces and old trees. Nature and recreation areas are virtually on the doorstep, as are numerous sports and leisure facilities. A small neighborhood farm with its own wine production gives the district a rural touch. Internationally renowned medical facilities are in the immediate vicinity. Shopping facilities, a primary school and tram, bus and S-Bahn connections are within easy walking distance.
Diverse walks and runs start right at the entrance gate of the villa: along the Zurichhorn with beach, Chinese garden and Le Corbusier Centre, through sunny vineyards up to Burghölzli with breathtaking views of the Alps, or through Wehren and Elefanbachtobel up to the Zurichberg. With around 7000 plant species from different climate zones, the botanical garden invites you to relax.

requestsThe villa faces the street with a representative Renaissance courtyard of honor, while on the garden side, a cheerful Belle Époque character with a filigree bay window unfolds. The lovingly reconstructed English Garden blends harmoniously with the green surroundings. Originally expanded into a country estate in 1644, the property changed several times between well-known Zurich families. Historical details such as the magnificent portal with the coats of arms of the Gossweiler and Escher families and Baroque architectural accents give the house an unmistakable character.
Through the arcades of the main entrance, you enter the light-flooded entrance hall, from which spacious living and reception rooms with fine herringbone flooring and wide passageways open out. On the east side, there is a magnificent sequence of rooms with a fireplace and a living hall. In the south, the Belle Epoque bay window connects to the outdoor terrace and garden via outdoor stairs. On the west side, the luxurious kitchen impresses with a triad of kitchen workshop, back office and spacious dining and bar area — perfect for social gatherings and stylish hospitality.
In addition to several bedrooms, children's and guest rooms, the upper floor houses the opulent master bedroom with terrace, boudoir, dressing room and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. The magnificent fireplace room with unique baroque stucco ceiling can be used both as a studio and office as well as for celebrating lavish parties. The attic and basement offer further living rooms and an exclusive wellness area with sauna.
The “Hermitage” villa, which merges Renaissance, Baroque and Belle Époque into a magical atmosphere, is much more than a residence — it is a statement. Whether as a spacious family home or as a representative place to live and work — the villa combines quality of life, history and luxury into a perfect unity.
