Dorris Farm at Willow Springs

Dorris Farm at Willow Springs is a Goodall Homes community in White House, sitting on a farmland setting at 305 Charlie Place and actively selling as of mid-2026. What makes it worth a real look is the mix on offer: Goodall builds both single-family homes and lower-maintenance villas here, so the same address holds two different ways to live. If you want new construction north of Nashville and you're weighing how much yard and upkeep you actually want to own, this is the kind of community where that question has more than one answer.

Where it sits

White House is the commuter-friendly corner of upper Sumner County, set right on I-65 with a straight interstate shot south toward Nashville or north toward Bowling Green. That position is the trade most buyers here are making on purpose — a quieter, small-town pace farther from the city, with the interstate access to make the distance workable. One White House quirk worth knowing: the town straddles the Sumner/Robertson county line, so the specific address determines which county you're in and the property taxes that come with it. We confirm that for the exact homesite you're considering rather than assuming it.

The homes here

Every home at Dorris Farm is a Goodall Homes build, split between two product lines. The single-family Landon Collection runs three to six bedrooms and roughly 1,765 to 2,846 square feet. The villas run two to four bedrooms and roughly 1,587 to 2,345 square feet — the lower-maintenance option for buyers who want the new build without as much yard to manage. Across both lines you'll find owner's suites, optional bonus rooms, studies or home offices, and two- to three-car garage configurations. Builders move base prices, incentives, and released inventory week to week, so confirm current pricing before you plan around any figure. Call us at 615-265-1000 for the current picture.

Who it fits

Dorris Farm fits buyers who want flexible square footage and a quieter location north of the city. The villa option suits anyone looking to spend less time on a yard — a smaller footprint, a lighter-maintenance home, room without the weekend upkeep — while the larger Landon Collection plans give households that want the space the room to spread out, up to six bedrooms and a bonus room. The studies and home offices in both lines speak to buyers splitting time between White House and a remote or Nashville-area workday. And the I-65 access makes the whole community a practical pick for anyone who wants the farmland setting without the longest drive to get back to it.

What to verify before you buy here

• Confirm current base pricing, incentives, and which homesites and plans are actually released — builder pricing moves.
• Decide between single-family and villa with your real life in mind — the villas trade yard and footprint for lower maintenance, and which one fits depends on how you actually want to spend your weekends.
• Pin down the county. White House crosses the Sumner/Robertson line, so verify which county the specific address falls in for property taxes.
• Ask for the full HOA picture — current dues, what they cover, and whether the villas and single-family homes carry different structures, since lower-maintenance products often bundle in exterior or lawn upkeep.
• Get the build timeline in writing if you're buying a to-be-built home, including realistic completion and any contingencies.
• Walk the specific lot. A farmland setting can mean real variation in drainage, grade, and what's planned next door — each homesite differs.
• Drive your actual commute at the actual hour you'd drive it, not the best-case midday version.

Why builders are betting on White House

White House isn't a quiet backwater picking up a stray new-construction project. Census-based estimates compiled by World Population Review (using U.S. Census Bureau 2025 Gazetteer Files and City and Town Population Totals: 2020-2024 data) put White House's population at roughly 18,717, up from about 13,087 in 2020 — an annualized growth rate near 4.73%. Separately, Tennessee State Data Center's 2025 county estimates (published February 2026) list Sumner County among the state's top-10 counties for population growth from 2024 to 2025. That's the demand backdrop builders are building into at Dorris Farm — we can't predict what it means for future values, but it explains why three different builders have active sections in this same area of town.

Three builders, one broader Dorris Farm area — don't confuse the sections

"Dorris Farm" isn't a single builder's project in White House — it's the name attached to multiple builder sections developed near each other off Tyree Springs Road / Odell Drive, and the details differ enough that mixing them up will cost you time. Goodall Homes' Dorris Farm at Willow Springs (the community on this page, sales center at 305 Charlie Place) covers the Landon Collection single-family homes and the villas. The Jones Company also builds a Dorris Farm section in White House, and CastleRock Communities builds a separate Dorris Farm section nearby at 708 Odell Drive with larger single-family plans (per CastleRock's own community listing, 3-5 beds, 2-4 baths, roughly 1,801-3,313 sq ft). If you're touring, confirm with us which builder's section and which sales office you're actually walking into — the floor plans, price points, and HOA structures are not interchangeable between them.

Getting around from here

Directions and commute

Goodall Homes' own directions to the sales center: from Nashville, take I-65 North to exit 108, head east on TN-76, turn right on Raymond Hirsch Parkway, continue about 1.5 miles, then turn right on Tyree Springs Road — the community is roughly 0.4 miles ahead on the right. That routes you through the same White House interchange most residents use daily, so it's a fair preview of the commute rather than a sales-office shortcut. As with any commute decision, drive it yourself at the time of day you'd actually be driving — traffic through the Rivergate/Hendersonville corridor on I-65 varies a lot between a 7 a.m. and a 9 a.m. departure, and we can't quote you a reliable minutes-to-downtown number without knowing your actual schedule.

HOA and who manages it

Per Goodall Homes' own HOA information page, Dorris Farm is managed by Ghertner & Company (the same firm Goodall uses for several of its other Middle Tennessee communities, including Autumn Lake, Ivey Farms, and Moss Farm). Goodall's general description of what these HOAs cover: maintaining the community entrance, lawn care of common areas, amenities, and — for townhomes, condos, and villas specifically — sometimes building-exterior maintenance. Goodall's public HOA page does not list a specific dues dollar amount for Dorris Farm, and CCRs, bylaws, fence guidelines, and ARC (architectural review) guidelines are referenced as available documents rather than posted in full. Get the actual current dues figure and the full covenant package from the builder or from us before you're under contract — don't assume the villa dues match the single-family dues, since bundled exterior maintenance on the villas typically costs more per month than lawn-only coverage on the single-family side.

Schools zoned here

We don't rate or rank schools for you — pull current ratings, testing data, and boundary maps yourself from the Tennessee Department of Education (tn.gov/education), and confirm the zoned school with Sumner County Schools directly before you buy, since attendance zones can shift. School zoning is assigned by address, is set by Sumner County Schools, and changes over time. Look up the current zone for a specific address on the district's own Find My School Zone tool (https://www.sumnerschools.org/); we will confirm it with you before you write an offer. We report zoning as a fact to verify and do not rate or characterize schools.

• Ask which builder's Dorris Farm section you're actually touring — Goodall's Willow Springs, The Jones Company's section, or CastleRock's section on Odell Drive have different plans and price points.
• Get the current HOA dues in writing from Ghertner & Company, along with the CCRs, bylaws, and ARC guidelines Goodall references — confirm whether villa dues include exterior maintenance and how that compares to the single-family side.
• Zoning is set by Sumner County Schools — confirm the current zone for a specific address at https://www.sumnerschools.org/. We do not rate or characterize schools.
• Drive the I-65 exit 108 / TN-76 / Tyree Springs Road route yourself at your actual commute time before assuming a minutes-to-Nashville number.
• Verify which county (Sumner or Robertson) the specific homesite sits in, since White House straddles the line and it affects your property tax bill.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dorris Farm at Willow Springs still selling homes?

Yes — as of mid-2026 this is an active, selling Goodall Homes community with both Landon Collection single-family homes and villas available. Availability and released inventory shift regularly, so call us at 615-265-1000 for what's actually open right now rather than relying on a snapshot.

Are all the homes at Dorris Farm built by the same company?

No. This page covers Goodall Homes' Dorris Farm at Willow Springs section specifically. The Jones Company and CastleRock Communities each build separate Dorris Farm sections nearby in White House with their own floor plans, pricing, and (likely) HOA structures. We'll help you sort out which section fits before you tour.

What will my HOA dues actually be?

Goodall's public materials name Ghertner & Company as the manager but don't publish a dues figure for this community. We pull the current number and the full CCR/bylaws packet for you before you write an offer.

How's the commute to Nashville from here?

It runs via I-65 exit 108 and TN-76/Tyree Springs Road. We can't give you a reliable minutes-to-downtown figure without knowing your schedule — traffic on that stretch of I-65 varies significantly by departure time, so we'd rather you drive it yourself (or let us send you a video of the route) than trust a generic estimate.
