Honey Farms

Honey Farms at a glance

Honey Farms is a master-planned townhome community in Columbia, in Maury County, set off Nashville Highway on the north side of town. It has been an active, phased development since 2017, and it has grown into one of the larger new-construction neighborhoods in the area — with 405-plus homes already built and another 190-plus units planned, the community has continued adding phases through 2025. The streets carry a bee theme that gives the neighborhood its name, with addresses on Honey Farm Way, Manuka Lane, Tupelo Lane, Nectar Lane, Drone Way, and Mason Bee Drive.

What you'll find here is new townhomes rather than single-family lots, organized into three distinct collections from three builders. That makes Honey Farms a fit for buyers who want a lower-maintenance, attainably priced new build close to Columbia's job centers — including the GM manufacturing facility nearby — and who would rather choose a finished or near-finished home than navigate a long custom build. Because we tour Maury County new construction regularly, we help buyers compare the three collections side by side and figure out which one matches what they actually want.

Who builds in Honey Farms

Three builders are active at Honey Farms, each handling its own collection, so the community offers more range than a single-builder neighborhood would. Lennar builds the Cottage Collection and the Parkside Collection. Brenner Poole Homes builds the Spring House collection. LGI Homes also builds townhomes within the community. Having three teams under one master plan means you can compare floor plans, included features, and pricing across builders without leaving the neighborhood.

Lennar's homes here come through its Everything's Included program, which bundles features like stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and smart home technology into the base home rather than treating them as add-on upgrades. Each builder runs its own sales office and design process, and we're glad to walk you through how each one structures pricing, selections, and timelines so you can weigh them on equal footing.

Homes & floor plans

Honey Farms is a townhome community across all three collections. The townhomes run roughly 1,673 to 1,846 square feet with 3 bedrooms, and they sit on lots of about 0.23 to 0.29 acres (roughly 10,030 to 12,650 square feet). Pricing in the community has started around $257,190, though figures move with each phase and release — we pull live numbers and current availability for you before you tour.

Notable included features vary by builder and collection. Lennar's Everything's Included homes come with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and smart home technology built in, and the community is served by underground utilities. Because plan names, dimensions, and standard features change as new phases release, the most current floor plans live on each builder's official community page — Lennar's, LGI Homes', and Brenner Poole's. We're happy to pull the active plan sheets and quote sheets for any collection you're considering.

Amenities & community life

Honey Farms is built around shared amenities that you can walk to from the townhomes. The centerpiece is a swimming pool with a cabana, plus a playground for the neighborhood. Underground utilities keep the streetscape clean, and Lennar's homes include smart home technology as part of the standard package.

Day to day, the community's bee-themed streets and connected layout make it easy to get around on foot, and the pool and playground give residents gathering spots through the warmer months. As a master-planned neighborhood with hundreds of homes built and more on the way, Honey Farms has the feel of an established, still-growing community rather than a brand-new pocket of a handful of houses.

Location, access & schools

Honey Farms sits off Nashville Highway in Columbia (ZIP 38401), which puts it on the main corridor connecting Columbia toward Spring Hill and the broader Nashville metro to the north. The community is positioned with proximity to the GM manufacturing facility — a major Maury County employer with roughly 3,700 workers — making it a practical home base for buyers commuting to that and other area job centers.

Honey Farms is zoned to Battle Creek Elementary School, Battle Creek Middle School, and Battle Creek High School. Battle Creek High School opened in August 2024. School zoning can change with district boundary updates, so confirm the current assignment for a specific address with us or the school district before you rely on it.

What to verify before you buy

New construction moves phase by phase, and the published details lag the on-the-ground reality. Before you write an offer at Honey Farms, here's what we confirm for you in real time:

• Current pricing and any active builder incentives by collection — figures shift with each release
• Which phase and which lots are open right now, and what's still to come
• Exact lot size, orientation, and any premium for a specific homesite
• The HOA dues, what they cover, and the governing documents (we'll get you the current figures — we don't quote dollar amounts we can't verify)
• Standard versus upgrade features for the plan you're considering, including how Lennar's Everything's Included package compares to the other collections
• The builder's current timeline for a to-be-built home versus an inventory home

We bring you the live numbers so your decision rests on what's true today, not on a stale listing.

Commute & location specifics

Honey Farms sits directly on Nashville Highway (US-31) on the north side of Columbia, which is the corridor most residents use to reach jobs north toward Spring Hill and the wider Nashville metro. Community-level distance estimates put the GM Spring Hill manufacturing complex roughly 2.5 miles north of Honey Farms, and downtown Spring Hill about 10-11 miles (roughly an 18-minute drive under normal traffic, per Distance-Cities.com's Columbia-to-Spring-Hill routing via US-31/US-412). Downtown Nashville is about 45-46 miles north via I-65 (per Travelmath and Trippy driving-distance data), which is typically a 45-60 minute drive depending on time of day and I-65 traffic through Franklin and Brentwood. As with any commute estimate, treat these as planning figures, not a guarantee — we recommend driving your actual route at your real departure and return times before you rely on it for a work commute.

For healthcare and services, Maury Regional Medical Center — the flagship 255-bed hospital of Maury Regional Health, the largest health system between Nashville and Huntsville, Alabama, with roughly 3,000 employees system-wide (per Maury Regional Health's own site and Wikipedia) — sits in Columbia proper, a short drive from Honey Farms via Nashville Highway or James M. Campbell Boulevard. Downtown Columbia's historic public square, with its courthouse, restaurants, and shops, is also a quick trip south on the same corridor.

Builder collections in more depth

Lennar's Cottage Collection is marketed as the largest townhome product at Honey Farms: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, about 1,729 square feet, with a documented starting price of $330,990 as of Lennar's own community page (accessed 2026-07). The featured Rainier plan in this collection puts an open Great Room, kitchen, and dining area on the first floor with the primary suite tucked at the back, and a loft plus two additional bedrooms upstairs. Lennar's Parkside Collection is the second Lennar product line here; its featured Harper plan pairs an open-concept living/dining/kitchen layout with sliding glass doors to a covered patio on the first floor, and two secondary bedrooms plus a primary suite upstairs. Lennar's on-site Parkside sales office is located at 2048 Nectar Lane, Columbia, TN 38401 (615-236-8076, per Lennar's site) — we're glad to walk this with you and compare it against Cottage Collection inventory in person.

Because Lennar, LGI Homes, and Brenner Poole Homes each release inventory and pricing on their own schedules, the Cottage Collection's $330,990 starting figure (or any other builder's posted price) should be treated as a snapshot, not a current quote — builder pricing pages change frequently, sometimes week to week, as phases sell out and new sections open. We pull the live price sheet, lot map, and incentive offer for whichever collection you're comparing before you visit.

HOA & what it covers

Honey Farms is governed by a homeowners association managed through Ghertner & Company, with community manager contact available at 615-277-0358 (office hours Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m., per public HOA management directory listings). Because Honey Farms has three separate builder collections released across multiple phases since 2017, published due amounts for the community have varied by phase and product — from budget townhome sections to larger units — so a single dues figure you find online may not match the section you're touring. Get the current dues statement, the CC&Rs, and the reserve study directly from the HOA or from us before you write an offer; we do not quote dollar figures we cannot verify against the live governing documents for your specific address.

Property taxes & price context (dated, not predictive)

For fiscal year 2025-2026, Maury County's property tax rate is $0.739 per $100 of assessed value, per Ordinance 25-12 as cited on the City of Spring Hill's official tax-rates page (accessed 2026-07); the City of Columbia levies its own additional city rate and mails bills in October, with amounts becoming delinquent December 15 (per columbiatn.gov). Because city and county rates, and your specific assessed value, both factor into your actual bill, we recommend requesting a current estimate from the Maury County Assessor's office (6 Public Square, Columbia, TN 38401, 931-375-4001) or the City of Columbia Recorder's Office (931-560-1500) for the exact parcel you're considering.

On the broader Columbia market: Redfin's zip-code data for 38401 showed a median sale price around $400K in a recent month reported in 2026, down slightly year over year, while Zillow's Home Value Index for Columbia showed an average value near $374,557 as of a 2026 snapshot, up about 1% year over year; Movoto's July 2026 listing data showed a $449K median list price, down from the prior month and year. These figures come from three different methodologies (sale price, estimated value index, and active listing price) and will not match each other or match Honey Farms' own townhome pricing — we can't predict where prices go from here, and we'd rather hand you the current builder price sheet and recent comparable closings than a market-wide average that may not reflect this specific community.

Nearby manufacturing employment — a factor worth knowing

Because GM's Spring Hill complex sits close to Honey Farms and is one of the area's largest employers, it's worth knowing that GM announced a temporary layoff of roughly 700 workers at its Ultium Cells battery plant in Spring Hill in late October 2025, with battery-cell production paused starting January 2026 and an anticipated resumption by mid-2026, according to local reporting (WSMV, October 29, 2025). We're not in a position to predict how this affects the broader local economy or future home values, and we won't try — if proximity to GM employment is a factor in your decision, we'd encourage you to research current production status directly with GM or recent local news before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Honey Farms still an active new-construction community, or is it mostly resale now?

As of our most recent check, Honey Farms is still actively selling across its Lennar, LGI Homes, and Brenner Poole collections. That said, individual phases and sections do sell out — we pull current builder inventory and the live lot map before you tour, so you know which collections still have new-build availability versus which sections are now resale-only.

How far is Honey Farms from the GM Spring Hill plant and from Nashville?

Community-level distance data puts the GM Spring Hill complex about 2.5 miles north of Honey Farms and downtown Spring Hill about 10-11 miles away (roughly an 18-minute drive under normal conditions). Downtown Nashville is about 45-46 miles north via I-65. We'd rather you clock your own real commute at your real departure time than rely on a general estimate.

What are the HOA dues at Honey Farms and what do they cover?

The community's HOA is managed by Ghertner & Company. Because Honey Farms spans three builder collections across multiple phases since 2017, dues have varied by section and product, so we pull the current dues statement and governing documents for the specific home and phase you're considering rather than quoting a figure that may not apply to your unit.

What schools serve Honey Farms, and can I count on that assignment staying the same?

Schools are assigned by address. Pull the current zone map and report card from GreatSchools.org and the Tennessee Department of Education for the specific address you're considering, since district boundaries can be redrawn.

Should I use the builder's on-site agent, or bring my own?

The sales representatives at each builder's on-site office — including Lennar's Parkside office at 2048 Nectar Lane — represent the builder, not you as the buyer. Bringing your own buyer's agent typically costs you little or nothing out of pocket, and most builders require you to register your agent at your first visit for that representation to apply. We've personally toured more than 80 Middle Tennessee new-construction communities, and we're glad to register with you before your first visit to any Honey Farms sales office. Call The Will Johnson Team at 615-265-1000.
