Marymont Springs

Marymont Springs at a glance

Marymont Springs is a gated, resort-amenity residential community in southwest Murfreesboro, in Rutherford County, located off Rucker Lane near I-24 Exit 78A. It has been under development since 2008 and is a true established community that is still actively building — of its 94 total lots, 53 homes are built and 41 lots remain as of 2026, so a buyer here gets the maturity of a settled, gated neighborhood alongside genuine new-construction opportunity. The homes are all single-family and share a consistent architectural language, with all-brick or brick-and-stone exteriors drawn from the look of the adjacent historic Marymont Mansion, which dates to the mid-1800s and anchors the community's design aesthetic.

Two builders are behind Marymont Springs: Goodall Homes developed earlier sections and Harney Homes is the primary builder for the newest phases. Single-family homes in the latest Harney phase run roughly $500,000 to $700,000, while the broader community spans about $580K to $1.4M when resale homes are included. Buyers here tend to be people who want a gated address with 24-hour security and resort-style amenities — two pools, a lazy river, and a clubhouse among them — without giving up easy interstate access to Nashville or the rest of Middle Tennessee. We see a lot of relocating and out-of-state buyers in this part of Murfreesboro, and because we tour these communities constantly, we help you compare the available phases, builders, and lots and navigate the build at little or no cost to you.

Who builds in Marymont Springs

Marymont Springs has been shaped by two builders over its long development history, which gives the community both an established core and brand-new inventory. The builders here are:

• Harney Homes — primary builder for the newest phases
• Goodall Homes — developed earlier sections of the community

Goodall Homes is a well-known Middle Tennessee builder that developed earlier sections of the community, and Harney Homes is the builder carrying the newest phases forward today. For a buyer, that two-builder history is an advantage: you can shop established Goodall-built sections and resale homes alongside the current Harney Homes new construction, and weigh floor plans, included features, and current availability across both. Because builder offerings, plans, and incentives differ, it pays to walk what each has available. We represent buyers across the community at little or no cost to you, so you are free to compare every section and we will help you read each builder's pricing, inclusions, and timelines side by side.

Homes & floor plans

Homes at Marymont Springs are all single-family, and the defining feature is the all-brick or brick-and-stone construction shared across the community — a consistent, durable exterior look tied to the architecture of the neighboring historic Marymont Mansion. Floor plans generally offer 3 to 5 bedrooms. The newest phases run about 2,430 to 3,300 finished square feet, while the full community reaches up to roughly 5,000 square feet across its larger homes, so the range spans a right-sized single-family home up to a substantial residence with room for guests, a home office, or flex space.

Main sections sit on lots of roughly 0.17 to 0.40 acres. Pricing in the current Harney Homes phase runs about $500,000 to $700,000, with the broader community ranging higher when larger and resale homes are included. The higher-end subsections — The Reserve and The Retreat — carry upgraded landscaping and irrigation and a higher amenity tier, which is reflected in their HOA structure (covered below).

Each builder publishes its own floor plans, elevations, and current standing inventory on its official Marymont Springs community page. Rather than list plan names or inventory that change as phases sell through, we pull the live plans, quick-move-in homes, and pricing directly for you so you are comparing what is actually buildable and priced right now.

Amenities & community life

Marymont Springs is built around a resort-style amenity package behind a gated entrance with 24-hour security. The standout amenities are two swimming pools and a lazy river — an unusual feature for a Murfreesboro community — paired with a clubhouse, a playground, and a basketball court. Sidewalks and walking trails connect the neighborhood, and the community is served by underground utilities. At full build-out the plan calls for a $4-million amenity center and more than 16 acres of lakes, expanding on the resort-style experience already in place.

Day to day, that translates to a gated neighborhood designed for getting outside — sidewalks and trails for walking, pools and a lazy river for the warm months, and a clubhouse and playground as gathering points. The gated entrance and 24-hour security are part of what draws buyers to this specific community over a more open subdivision.

Location, access & schools

What to verify before you buy

Marymont Springs spans two builders and several phases, and new-construction details change as lots release and sell through. Before you write an offer, we will confirm the things that actually affect your contract:

• Current pricing and any active incentives for your chosen builder, phase, and plan
• Which of the remaining lots are releasing now and what is already spoken for
• Exact lot size, orientation, and any lot premiums
• Which HOA tier applies to your lot — the main-section dues versus the higher tier in The Reserve and The Retreat — and exactly what each covers (we confirm the current figures directly so you are working from live numbers, not an estimate)
• Included features versus upgrades, and the builder's current build timeline
• Warranty, inspection access, and any financing or closing-cost terms tied to the builder's preferred lender

We will pull the live numbers from each builder and walk you through them before you commit, so there are no surprises between the model home and the closing table.

The history behind the name

Marymont Springs takes its name — and its architectural cue — from Marymont, the antebellum mansion built in 1860–1861 for Hiram Jenkins on the land that later became the subdivision. The home passed in 1878 to Jenkins's niece, Nimmie Jenkins, and her husband Dr. J.J. Rucker, who named it after their daughter, Mary Rucker (Rucker Lane, the road the community sits off of, carries the same family name). Built in the Classical Revival style with Roman Revival finishes, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 30, 1973. On January 21, 2004, a fire that investigators traced to an addition on the back of the house — the section housing the water heater — destroyed much of the structure; Van West, director of MTSU's Center for Historic Preservation, called it the loss of 'one of the best Greek revival houses in the county.' Developers Bob Parks and Mel Adams of ParkTrust Development bought the property in 2005 and restored the mansion as the centerpiece and sales office for the new Marymont Springs community, reopening it in May 2007; the restoration earned a 2007 Statewide Preservation Award from the Tennessee Preservation Trust. That history is why the homes here share a consistent brick-and-stone, Classical Revival-influenced look — the builders designed around the mansion rather than the other way around.

HOA dues by section

Marymont Springs is not one flat HOA — the dues step up with the amenity and landscaping tier of the section you buy into. As reported by Nashville Home Guru's market data page for the subdivision, the main Marymont Springs sections carry HOA dues of roughly $75–$90 per month, covering the gated entrance, pools, lazy river, clubhouse, playground, and basketball court. The Reserve at Marymont Springs and The Retreat at Marymont Springs — the two premium subsections referenced above for their upgraded landscaping and irrigation — run closer to $255 per month, because that higher due also funds professional lawn care and irrigation maintenance on top of the shared community amenities. Because dues, coverage, and any transfer or reserve fees can change and can vary lot-to-lot, we pull the current HOA documents and the exact due for your specific address before you write an offer, rather than quoting a general figure.

Recent pricing & market data (dated, not predictive)

We can tell you what has actually sold, but we cannot tell you what a home here will be worth next year — nobody can respectably do that, and we do not try. With that caveat: per market data compiled by Nashville Home Guru, closed sales in Marymont Springs over a recent 12-month rolling period ranged from about $611,500 to $1,425,000, with a median sale price near $809,950 and an average of about $847,864, on homes running roughly 2,496 to 4,890 finished square feet. Price per square foot in that data set ranged from about $206 to $325, averaging around $259. Those figures blend new construction with resale and span both standard and premium sections, so they are a starting reference point, not a quote for any specific lot or plan. For a current, address-specific number, ask us to pull live builder pricing plus recent comparable closings from the RealTracs MLS.

Property taxes & what they fund

Marymont Springs sits within both Rutherford County and the city limits of Murfreesboro, so property owners pay both jurisdictions' tax rates. Following Tennessee's state-mandated four-year reappraisal cycle, Rutherford County certified a revenue-neutral rate of $1.4885 per $100 of assessed value, and the City of Murfreesboro certified $0.7529 per $100 of assessed value, as announced in June 2026 (WGNS Radio, citing Rutherford County Assessor Rob Mitchell). These are 'revenue-neutral' rates set so the county and city collect roughly the same total revenue as before the reappraisal, not a reflection of what any individual bill will do — a given property's bill can rise, fall, or hold steady depending on how its reappraised value compares to the countywide average. We do not predict future tax rates or values; for your specific parcel, verify current-year figures directly with the Rutherford County Trustee (rctrustee.com) and the Rutherford County Property Assessor (rcpatn.com).

Commute & drive times

Marymont Springs' location off Rucker Lane near I-24 Exit 78A puts the community roughly 35 miles southeast of downtown Nashville by interstate, per standard mapping distance data — typically a 40–55 minute drive outside of peak congestion, longer during rush hour on I-24. Exit 78A also carries TN-96 (Old Fort Parkway), which runs directly into downtown Murfreesboro and connects to Medical Center Parkway near Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital and the Stones River Mall retail corridor. For residents commuting toward Smyrna, La Vergne, or Nashville International Airport (BNA), I-24 West is the direct route; we recommend test-driving your actual commute at the time of day you would normally travel before you commit to a lot, since interstate travel times vary significantly with traffic.

Investor & second-look checklist

Marymont Springs draws interest from both owner-occupant relocators and buyers evaluating it as an investment or long-term hold, given its established HOA, gated amenities, and mix of new and resale inventory. If you are underwriting a purchase here as an investment, these are the specific items we help you verify before you commit — we do not predict future appreciation or rents, but we will help you pull current, sourced numbers: current comparable rents for similar single-family homes in the Blackman/Salem/Rockvale school zones, pulled from active RealTracs MLS rental listings, not an estimate; the specific HOA tier (main-section $75–$90/month versus Reserve/Retreat at roughly $255/month) and whether that section's rules permit leasing, plus any minimum-lease-term or rental-cap restrictions in the HOA covenants; current property tax rates for Rutherford County and the City of Murfreesboro, confirmed directly with the Trustee's office for the specific parcel, since bills vary by reappraised value; insurance costs specific to an all-brick or brick-and-stone home in this location, quoted by a licensed agent; whether the lot is in the main community or one of the premium subsections, since that changes both the HOA due and the resale comparables you should be using; and recent closed-sale comps (not just active listings) pulled from the MLS for the trailing 3–6 months, since asking prices and closed prices can diverge.

Frequently asked questions

Is Marymont Springs still under construction? Yes — as of 2026, 53 of the community's 94 total lots are built out, with 41 remaining, and Harney Homes is actively building and selling the newest phase.

Is the Marymont Mansion still standing? Yes. The original mansion, built in 1860–1861, burned in a 2004 fire but was restored by ParkTrust Development starting in 2005 and reopened in May 2007 as the community's sales office and centerpiece — it still stands on the property today and anchors the architectural style of the surrounding homes.

What are the schools, and can you tell me if they're good? Marymont Springs is zoned to Salem Elementary or Rockvale Elementary (address-dependent), Blackman Middle, and Blackman High, all in Rutherford County Schools. We don't make judgment calls on school quality — pull current ratings, test scores, and reviews directly from GreatSchools.org and the Tennessee Department of Education's report card site (tn.gov/education), and confirm your specific lot's elementary assignment with the district before you buy.

Is there a difference between buying in the main section versus The Reserve or The Retreat? Yes — beyond price and lot size, the HOA due is meaningfully different (roughly $75–$90/month in the main sections versus about $255/month in The Reserve and The Retreat), because the premium sections' dues also cover professional lawn care and irrigation. We'll walk you through what each due actually includes before you choose a section.

Can you tell me what my home will be worth in five years? No — we don't predict future prices or appreciation for any community, Marymont Springs included. What we can do is show you dated, sourced historical sales data and current builder pricing so you can make an informed decision with real numbers, not a guess.
