Homeowners seeking privacy are flocking to Cottontown. Some of the biggest draws are new builds, farmhouses, ranch-style houses, barns, log homes, and brick ranches on sprawling lots. In addition, a very desirable school district is impacting the Cottontown housing market. “It is a popular area. Homes are going quickly,” explains Lora Lovell of Re/Max Choice Properties. “The Liberty Creek schools are drawing people there. And, because of the schools, resale values are up.”
Bigger is better in pastoral and rural Cottontown. Lots are as big as 81,892 square feet and most houses are 2,295 square feet. Price points hover around $300,000 to $3.1 million. Residents in the community value their solitude. “The houses are spread out,” Lovell, who has sold homes in the region for ten years. “People love the privacy. They are not on top of each other.”
The neighborhood has no local parks, but Old Hickory Lake, named after former U.S. President Andrew Jackson, is a 12-mile drive. Guests take pleasure in pontoon boat sunbathing and jet skiing. And at the lake, some locals go hunting or birdwatching. Other visitors to the lake enjoy the fishing, with largemouth, spotted, and smallmouth bass being the most sought-after catches of the day. Locals also learn to ride horses at the Liberty Creek Farm. Those seeking other green spaces can visit the more than a dozen parks within 10 miles like the 185-acre Triple Creek Park
