Bailey's Cove

Bailey's Cove is an exclusive new-construction enclave in Franklin, Tennessee, planned as just five custom estate homesites, each on 7 or more acres. Coming soon to the market, it brings Jake Rains Homes to a tightly limited collection of estate-scale residences. We tour Franklin and Williamson County communities constantly, and we represent buyers here at little or no cost to you — so if Bailey's Cove is on your shortlist, we can help you understand what's available, what's still being finalized, and how it stacks up against other estate options in the area.

The builder and the homes

Bailey's Cove is being built by Jake Rains Homes. The community is planned as custom estate homes — a build approach where the home is developed for the specific homesite rather than dropped from a fixed catalog of floor plans. That typically means more say in layout, finishes, and how the home is sited on its acreage, though the exact level of customization, included features, and upgrade options should be confirmed live with us or the builder.

Because this is a coming-soon, custom-build community, specifics like bedroom and bathroom counts, square footage, standard home features, and pricing are not yet published as fixed figures. New-construction pricing, phases, and availability move quickly, so we pull current numbers and plan details for you rather than relying on a static page — just call us and we'll confirm the latest figures live.

Amenities and day-to-day living

The defining feature of Bailey's Cove is its scale and exclusivity: just five homesites of 7+ acres each. That kind of acreage is the lifestyle here — room between neighbors, space to spread out, and the privacy that comes with a small estate enclave rather than a dense subdivision. Community amenities such as a pool, clubhouse, or trail system have not been published for Bailey's Cove, so if shared amenities matter to you, confirm with us what is — and isn't — planned before you commit. The day-to-day experience is centered on the land and the custom home itself.

Location and commute

Bailey's Cove is located in Franklin, in Williamson County. Rather than quote you a drive time we can't stand behind, here's the honest way to gauge it: once we share the exact homesite location, clock the drive yourself at your real departure time — the actual morning you'd leave for work, school drop-off, or the airport. Traffic on Middle Tennessee's main corridors changes a lot by time of day, so a midday test drive can read very differently from your true rush-hour commute. We're happy to map the routes you care about most so you can run them yourself.

Who it fits

Bailey's Cove is suited to buyers who want a custom estate home on substantial acreage in Franklin and who value privacy and space over a high-density, amenity-packed setting. With only five homesites of 7+ acres each and a custom-build process, it's a fit for those who want to shape their home and its placement on the land, and who are comfortable with the timeline and decisions that come with a from-the-ground-up build. If a turnkey home or extensive shared community amenities are higher on your list, we can show you Franklin options that lean that direction instead.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing — confirm live numbers with us, since coming-soon pricing isn't published as a fixed figure yet and can change.
• HOA dues and what they cover — whether there's an association, what the dues are, and exactly what they include.
• Lot specifics — the precise acreage, boundaries, topography, and any easements or building restrictions for the homesite you're considering.
• Builder warranty and included-versus-upgrade items — what comes standard from Jake Rains Homes versus what's priced as an upgrade.
• Construction timeline — realistic start and completion dates for a custom build at this acreage and price point.
• Your real commute — clock the drives that matter to you at your actual departure times.

About the builder: Jake Rains Homes

Jake Rains Homes is a Franklin-based custom home builder with more than 15 years of experience building in Williamson County, according to the company's own site (jakerainshomes.com, accessed 2026-07). Founder Jake Rains is described there as personally involved in the construction of each home the company builds, with the company built around three stated core values: honesty, integrity, and hard work. Bailey's Cove is a small, estate-scale project for a builder of this size, which tracks with the five-homesite, 7+-acre-lot format — this isn't a production builder running dozens of homes at once, so pacing and availability can look different from a large-volume neighborhood. We'd confirm Jake Rains Homes' current build slate and how Bailey's Cove fits into it before you commit to anything.

About the interior designer: Lauren Elder Interiors

Interiors at Bailey's Cove are handled by Lauren Elder Interiors, a Middle Tennessee design firm founded by Lauren Elder. Per the designer's own site (laurenelderinteriors.com/about, accessed 2026-07) and a Nashville Voyager Magazine profile, Elder started her design career working for a luxury custom home builder before becoming a partner at a home-furnishings and interior-design company, then launched her own firm. Her site states her team provides design and selections work for a number of builders across Nashville and Williamson County. For a custom estate build, having a dedicated designer involved from the start can shape everything from finish selections to how the home's interior spaces are laid out — worth asking about directly if a coordinated design process matters to you.

Location context: Bailey's Cove Court, Franklin

Public listing records tied to Bailey's Cove Court in Franklin (37064) — including MLS #3037852, also syndicated to Zillow — place the community within a few minutes' drive of Berry Farms and Tollgate Village, two established mixed-use hubs with restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday retail, and near the I-65 / Goose Creek Bypass interchange (as of 2026, per that listing's public description). That lines up with the general Franklin, Williamson County location already noted for this community. As always, we'd rather you clock the actual drive yourself once a specific homesite is identified than lean on a listing's stated minutes — but it's a useful starting reference for how this pocket of Franklin sits relative to nearby commercial nodes.

What 'coming soon' means here

Bailey's Cove is still in the coming-soon stage, which means the details that matter most — final pricing per homesite, which of the five lots (if any) are already spoken for, construction start dates, and the exact scope of what Jake Rains Homes includes as standard versus upgrade — have not been published as fixed, confirmable figures as of this writing (2026-06/07). Plans for coming-soon communities can and do change before the first home breaks ground, so treat anything you read here or elsewhere as a snapshot, not a guarantee. We track new-construction releases across Franklin and Williamson County weekly, so if Bailey's Cove is on your radar, the highest-leverage move is getting on our list for it now rather than waiting for a public listing to appear.

Early interest: how we track it

Because estate-scale, five-homesite communities like Bailey's Cove don't move through a typical builder sales-office rollout, the earliest word on availability tends to travel through the builder's direct contacts and agents who are already watching the project — not a public listing site. We check in with Franklin new-construction and estate builders on a standing basis, and we can add you to the list of buyers we notify the moment there's confirmed movement on Bailey's Cove: a released homesite, a firm price, or a construction start. There's no cost or obligation to get on that list — call us and we'll keep you posted as real information becomes available, not speculation.
