Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Buzz Barkoczy said Cottonwood has a strong reputation in the area, and it truly stands out as one of the best. The property hosts two 1-bedroom cottages – Cottonwood Cottage and Whistle Cottage – each offering its own charm and income potential.

“I honestly love everything about Cottonwood. You can see and feel the care that’s gone into this place — it’s rare to find a property that makes you feel the way Cottonwood does,” he said. 

“Both cottages are immaculately presented, and there’s so much opportunity here, with plenty of space for creative projects or future ideas. The land is almost golf-course quality, the river is pristine with multiple deep swimming holes, and the landscaping has been done to an exceptional standard. It’s simply a stunning property.”
