Property information

As one of Christhchurch’s best kept secrets, Calm Swan Villa is perched on the edge of the small tranquil lake in Styx Mill Reserve. This well-hidden gem is quietly shielded behind its humble hedge walls and could well be overlooked by the nescient passers-by. But as soon as you enter the front gate, you will be charmed by the perennial garden, with an old English walnut tree waving its welcome in the wind. When you make your way into the house and look through the living room windows, you will be captured by this view: Elegant black swans leisurely cruise across the shimmering lake, flocks of native waterbirds frolicking by the reeds, the lake transforms from a sparkling silver plate to a rippled green satin with the ever-shifting clouds and sky. Dazzled by such a vista, you walk across the house, out the French door, and finally step into the soft silky lawn, gently shaded by another walnut tree as the heart of the generously sized back garden. Surrounded by various kinds of lovely trees, the garden extends right to the lake edge, with scattered flower patches giving off subtle fragrances, and birds chirping their cheerful songs.
