Cottonwood Cottage (1 bed / 1 bath)
A Hamptons-style haven, once one of the region's most sought-after pre-wedding and honeymoon retreats, now transformed into a fully insulated, soundproof art studio.

Whistle Cottage (1 bed / 1 bath)
A beautifully restored century-old cottage featuring heated floors, Corian benchtops, and 10-metre magnesium pool with pool house - a retreat dedicated to wellness and relaxation that fits exceptionally well in the surrounding landscapes.

DA-approved Plans
Approved for a 3-bedroom architect-designed Mediterranean-style residence with plunge pool are available, offering scope to further enhance this already exceptional property.
Cottonwood Farm is more than a home - it's a living canvas, a sanctuary for the soul, and an invitation to embrace life in perfect balance with nature.

Sustainability & Self-Sufficiency
For those seeking an off-grid, sustainable lifestyle, the property offers abundant fresh water supply from two bore points, 5,000-gallon tanks, and fertile land ideal for organic produce and self-sufficient living.
