There is already an attribute for it:

System.ComponentModel.DescriptionAttribute

although you can make yours if you want.

You could use a custom attribute:

public class FooAttribute : Attribute
{
    public string Description { get; set; }
}

public class Bar
{
    [Foo(Description = "Some description")]
    public string BarProperty { get; set; }
}

public class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var foos = (FooAttribute[])typeof(Bar)
            .GetProperty("BarProperty")
            .GetCustomAttributes(typeof(FooAttribute), true);
        Console.WriteLine(foos[0].Description);
    }
}
