Mt Cotton covers a large area but only has a population of less than 7,000 as it is known mainly as a rural destination and more recently comprises Treeline developments.
The area was colonised by Germans in the late 1860s and created an idyllic rural community. In the 20th century, poultry farms were established and in recent years the number of residential sub-developments has expanded but it is still mainly rural. Mount Cotton is also home to the famous Sirromet Winery with wedding venues, Day on the Green concerts and glamping facilities.
The People
Nature loving would be the best way to describe people who choose to live in this quiet rural suburb, they enjoy a great local community and the fact that they are only a short distance from all the amenities a family could need.
The Lifestyle
Very much regarded as an idyllic rural community with plenty of access to nature reserves and walking and mountain bike trails, you will see plenty of wallabies and horse riding in the area. The suburb isn't known as an entertainment area but is known for quiet peaceful living.
The Homes
Mount Cotton is a rural-based locality so the majority of the housing is acreage based with a number of prestigious homes being available. The newer developments contain mainly modern 4 and 5 bedroom properties whilst keeping the treeline landscapes.
