About This Home
The Alexander Means House (c. 1820) "Orna Villa" | Oxford, Georgia. A rare opportunity to own one of Georgia's most historically significant and architecturally distinguished estates, Orna Villa is perfectly situated in the heart of Oxford. This iconic Greek Revival residence radiates timeless elegance-featuring soaring proportions, original craftsmanship, and the kind of enduring presence only centuries can give. From the grand columned portico to the sweeping staircase and expansive parlors, every inch of this home invites vision. Orna Villa offers the character, beauty, and history to bring your aspirations to life. The nearly 2-acre estate includes an historic outbuilding, a swimming pool, and a lush landscape graced by centuries-old magnolias, Wisteria, and other mature plantings that invite butterflies and support a vibrant native ecosystem. This storied home has captured Hollywood's attention more than once, with appearances in several films and television series. Lovingly held by generations past, it remains a remarkable canvas awaiting its next steward-someone with an eye for refinement and a passion for legacy. Located just one block from Emory University's Oxford College, with scenic walking trails along Turkey Creek, the home offers the ideal blend of privacy and convenience. Covington Square-with its charming shops and eateries-is just five minutes away, and I-20 is only three minutes from the front door, offering easy access to Atlanta in under 30 minutes. Opportunities like this are truly once in a lifetime. Schedule your private tour today.
