Hardeman Springs

Hardeman Springs is a 162-acre new-construction community in Arrington, Tennessee, planned for 118 custom homes. It's organized around a resort-style swimming pool with a cabana, with walking trails and maintained green space threaded through the property. The look leans heavily toward modern farmhouse architecture, and the homes are designed with scale in mind — spacious layouts, high ceilings, and a strong emphasis on outdoor living. We tour communities like this constantly across Williamson County and Middle Tennessee, so the goal of this page is simple: give you an honest read on what Hardeman Springs is, and what to confirm live before you commit.

The builders and home styles

Hardeman Springs is a multi-builder community, which means several Middle Tennessee builders are constructing homes within the same neighborhood. The builders here include Arthur Rutenberg Homes, Heritage Homes, Legend Homes, StoneBridge Homes, and Turnberry Homes. Each builder brings its own floor plans, finish standards, and pricing, so the experience can differ from one homesite to the next even inside the same community. When you're comparing, it helps to look at builders side by side rather than treating the neighborhood as a single product.

The homes are estate and custom single-family residences built on a larger scale. Architecture is predominantly modern farmhouse, and the interiors are built around spacious layouts with high ceilings, large open kitchens, and spa-like bathrooms. Outdoor living is a defining feature, with expansive covered and open outdoor areas designed to extend the living space beyond the walls. Specific square footage, bedroom and bathroom counts, available floor plans, and which features are standard versus upgrade vary by builder and by plan, so we confirm those details with each builder when we tour with you. Pricing also varies by builder, plan, lot, and finish level, and new-construction pricing and availability move quickly here — so rather than quote a range that may be out of date, we pull current numbers directly from the builders before you make any decisions.

Amenities and day-to-day lifestyle

The community's social hub is a resort-style swimming pool with a cabana — a gathering spot for warm-weather days and a place to cool off close to home. A playground adds a dedicated outdoor play space, and walking trails connect the community for those who want to get out on foot. Maintained green spaces are woven throughout the 162 acres, giving the neighborhood room to breathe between homesites.

Amenities like these are typically maintained through a homeowners association, so it's worth understanding the dues and exactly what they cover. We'll walk you through the current HOA structure and the amenity details when we tour, and we confirm what's open and available now versus what's still planned.

Location and commute

Hardeman Springs sits in Arrington, in the eastern part of Williamson County. The setting is more rural and open than the denser corridors closer to Franklin and Nashville, which is part of the appeal for buyers who want acreage-feel green space and a custom-home community without giving up access to the broader Middle Tennessee area.

Commute times depend entirely on where you're going and when you leave, so we don't put a number on it here. The most reliable way to know is to clock it yourself: drive from Hardeman Springs to your workplace, your kids' school, or wherever you head most days, at your real departure time on a normal weekday. That's the only commute estimate that actually reflects your life, and it beats any average we could quote.

Who it fits

Hardeman Springs tends to suit buyers who want a larger, custom-built home with modern farmhouse styling and serious outdoor living space. Because it's a multi-builder community, it's a good fit for people who want to compare several builders' plans and finishes in one place before choosing. The resort-style pool, cabana, playground, walking trails, and green space make it a fit for buyers who value having shared amenities and room to spread out within the neighborhood. If your priority is a smaller, lower-maintenance home or an urban-core location, this community's scale and setting may be more than you're looking for — and we'll tell you that honestly.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing — base prices and any premiums change frequently in new construction; we pull live numbers from each builder rather than relying on listed ranges.
• HOA dues and what they cover — confirm the monthly or annual amount and exactly which amenities, maintenance, and services are included.
• Lot specifics — confirm the size, orientation, grade, drainage, and any premiums for the homesite you're considering.
• Builder warranty and included-versus-upgrade — each builder defines its standard features and warranty differently; get clear on what's included in the base price and what costs extra.
• Construction timeline — confirm the realistic build schedule and current phase or release availability, since these shift over time.
• Your real commute — drive it yourself at your actual departure time to the places you go most.

Where Hardeman Springs sits, and the drive from here

Hardeman Springs sits along Highway 96 (Murfreesboro Road) in Arrington, on the eastern side of Williamson County, in the same general area as Arrington Vineyards (nashvillehome.guru, as of 2026-06). That puts it in a rolling-hills, working-farm setting rather than a dense suburban grid — third-party sources describe roughly a 15-minute drive to downtown Franklin and about a five-minute hop to I-840, with I-840 providing a bypass route toward Murfreesboro, Smyrna, or up to I-65 toward Nashville or south toward Spring Hill (nashvillehome.guru, as of 2026-06). Those are third-party estimates, not our own measurements, and traffic on Highway 96 and around the I-840 interchanges varies a lot by time of day. As always, we'd rather you clock your own real commute at your actual departure time than rely on a drive-time estimate pulled from a website.

Schools zoned for Hardeman Springs

Hardeman Springs is zoned to Williamson County Schools. Sources reviewed as of 2026-06 point to College Grove Elementary School, Page Middle School, and Page High School, though the community's own site notes that elementary zoning can vary by section within the neighborhood and that school zoning is subject to change (hardemanspringsliving.com, as of 2026-06). We don't characterize school quality — that's a judgment only you and your family can make. Pull the current attendance zone and the school report cards yourself: use the Williamson County Schools zone locator at wcs.edu with the specific address you're considering, and check GreatSchools.org and the Tennessee Department of Education report card for the assigned schools before you buy. Zoning can shift between when a lot is purchased and when a home is finished, so verify it again close to closing.

Builder status varies lot to lot

Not every builder listed for Hardeman Springs is actively selling new homesites right now. As of our 2026-06 review, Turnberry Homes' own community page marked its Hardeman Springs allocation as sold out, while Legend Homes' page still listed active pricing starting at $2 million-plus (turnberryhomes.com; legendarylifestyles.com, page last updated 2026-01-09). That's a normal pattern in a multi-builder, multi-phase community — different builders release, sell out, and sometimes re-release sections at different times. It also means the builder roster on this page reflects who has built or is approved to build here, not a guarantee that every builder has lots available today. Before you fall in love with a specific builder's floor plan, confirm with us or directly with that builder whether they currently have inventory, homesites, or a build slot open in Hardeman Springs.

Home sizes and configurations you'll actually see

Aggregated listing data reviewed as of 2026-06 shows homes in Hardeman Springs generally running from about 3,595 to 5,497 square feet (averaging roughly 4,706 sq ft), with 4 to 5 bedrooms and commonly 3 to 5 full baths plus 1 to 2 half baths, on lots averaging around 0.49 acres (roughly 0.45 to 0.58 acres) (nashvillehome.guru, as of 2026-06). Those figures come from a third-party aggregator pulling recent sales and listings, not from a single builder's official spec sheet, so treat them as a general picture of the neighborhood rather than a promise about any specific homesite. Exact square footage, bed/bath count, and lot size depend entirely on the plan and builder you choose, and we'll confirm the actual numbers on any home or homesite you're seriously considering.

HOA dues — what we found, and what to confirm

Third-party sources reviewed as of 2026-06 cite Hardeman Springs HOA dues in the range of roughly $132 to $145 per month, varying by section of the community, and describe those dues as covering the shared pool, cabana, playground, trails, and green-space maintenance (nashvillehome.guru, as of 2026-06). We have not independently verified those figures against the recorded HOA budget or governing documents, and dues can be adjusted by the HOA board over time, so confirm the current amount, what it covers, and whether there are any separate assessments (irrigation, entry monument maintenance, etc.) directly from the HOA or from the closing attorney's estoppel letter before you're under contract.

Recent price context (not a prediction)

A third-party aggregator's trailing 12-month snapshot, pulled as of 2026-06, showed a median sale price around $1,999,450 in Hardeman Springs, with sales ranging roughly $1,025,000 to $2,407,343 and price per square foot averaging about $390 (range roughly $285-$455/sq ft) (nashvillehome.guru, as of 2026-06). That same snapshot showed 4 active listings priced $1.8M-$3.5M and 3 homes under contract at the time it was pulled. Those are historical figures from one data source at one point in time, not our own valuation and not a forecast — new-construction and resale pricing here moves with builder release schedules, lot premiums, and market conditions, and we can't predict where prices will go. Pull current comps and active pricing before you make an offer, and we're glad to run that for you.

What to verify before you buy in Hardeman Springs — the investor's checklist

Which builder actually has availability right now — the roster of approved builders doesn't mean all of them have open lots; confirm current inventory before you commit to a plan. The exact HOA dues for the section your lot sits in, what they cover, and whether any special assessments are pending — ask for the current budget and reserve study, not just a quoted monthly number. Your specific school zone at the exact address, since elementary zoning can differ by section — verify at wcs.edu and re-confirm close to closing since zoning can change. Recent comparable sales and price-per-square-foot for the specific size and finish level you're buying, pulled fresh rather than relied on from an aggregator snapshot. Lot-specific conditions — grading, drainage, easements, and any lot premium tied to view, cul-de-sac position, or basement suitability. The builder's structural and systems warranty terms in writing, and what's standard versus upgrade for that specific builder's spec. Resale liquidity in the $1M-plus custom-home tier locally — larger, higher-priced custom homes typically take longer to sell and have a smaller buyer pool than entry-level new construction, which matters if you expect to sell within a few years. Current commute reality — drive Highway 96 to I-840 and on to your actual daily destinations at your real departure time, not a mapping app's average.

Frequently asked questions about Hardeman Springs

Is Hardeman Springs gated? Sources reviewed as of 2026-06 describe Hardeman Springs as an open, non-gated community organized around its pool and trail amenities rather than a guarded entry (nashvillehome.guru; hardemanspringsliving.com, as of 2026-06); confirm current entry and security arrangements directly, since these details can change or be described inconsistently across sources.

How many homes are built versus still to come? The community is planned for 118 homes across four sections on 162 acres, with construction that began around 2019-2020 and was still active as of 2026 per third-party sources (nashvillehome.guru, as of 2026-06); we'll confirm the current build-out count and how many homesites remain before you tour.

Can I still buy a lot and customize a home here, or is it mostly resale now? Both — as of 2026-06, some builders (Turnberry Homes, by its own account) had sold out their Hardeman Springs allocation while others (Legend Homes) still listed active new-construction pricing, and resale listings also appear on the open market as owners sell finished homes (redfin.com listings reviewed 2026-06). Which path fits — new build with a specific builder, or an existing resale home in the neighborhood — depends on current inventory, which we check before we tour with you.

What's the draw of Arrington specifically, compared to Franklin proper? Arrington is described in local sources as a rural-feeling area of rolling hills, farms, and horse properties near Arrington Vineyards, roughly 15 minutes from downtown Franklin by car (hardemanspringsliving.com; nashvillehome.guru, as of 2026-06). It tends to suit buyers who want more land, more distance between neighbors, and a quieter setting, in exchange for a longer drive to Franklin's downtown core, shopping, and restaurants than you'd have living inside the city itself.
