Villa Oxford

A grand, late 19th-century estate set in over 3,000 sqm of private parkland in the Swiss Blenio Valley. Villa Oxford features classic English country-house architecture: spacious, sunlit salons, stone-walled cellars, original marquise entrance, and a dramatic double staircase. Outbuildings include a rustic stable, multi-level service house, winter garden, historic wood-fired oven, and wash house.
All buildings are currently decommissioned and uninhabited, offering maximum flexibility for set builds, scenic transformations and exclusivity of use.

• Large villa with three floors, mezzanine, basement, and attic
• Expansive interiors, decorative ceilings and historic finishes
• Elegant gardens, centuries-old trees, natural hedges, outdoor patio
• Variety of original rural outbuildings (stable, oven, wash house, pantry, winter garden)

Current condition:
All buildings on the estate are currently decommissioned and uninhabited, offering exceptional flexibility for set dressing, scenic transformations, and productions of any kind – including period dramas, feature films, music videos, or commercial shoots.
