The Cottonwood House, 15 Old Ferry Road, River Bend
$2,450,000
Under contract. Ask to be told if it comes back.
One level, built around nine cottonwoods.
The Cottonwood House is one level, 112 feet long and 26 feet deep, laid out so that every room looks into the trees. It was built in 2018 around nine mature cottonwoods, and none of them were cut. Polished concrete floors carry the radiant heat. A ground-source heat pump runs it, and the electric bill for last January was $212. The river is 300 feet away through the trees. You can hear it from the bedroom in June, though you can't see it until the leaves drop. There are no stairs anywhere in the house. The roof is standing-seam steel and the gutters have guards, which you'll be glad of every October.
