The Mill at McFarlin

The Mill at McFarlin is a large new-construction community taking shape in Nolensville, planned for 444 single-family detached homes spread across nearly 300 acres along Kidd Road, between Baronswood Drive and McFarlin Road. What sets it apart on paper is its scale and its nature-forward layout: roughly 135 acres are dedicated to open space, including about 80 acres of tree preservation, with a full amenity package woven through it. As a brand-new community it is still early, so the details below reflect what has been published so far, and we always pull current numbers before you tour.

The builder and home styles

The Mill at McFarlin is being developed by Beazer Homes, which broke ground on the community. The plan calls for 444 single-family detached homes, with a stated focus on energy efficiency aimed at keeping utility bills lower over time. Published square footage runs from 2,532 to 3,435 square feet, giving a meaningful spread between smaller and larger floor plans within the community.

Bedroom and bathroom counts have not been published yet, so those should be confirmed live as floor plans are released. The community is also being laid out with a mix of lot types: roughly 200 rear-loaded lots, 160 lots that are 80 feet wide, and 80 lots measuring 100 by 150 feet. Because a community this size is built in phases, the specific plans, lot types, and pricing available at any given moment will shift over time, so we verify what is actually open before you visit.

Amenities and day-to-day lifestyle

The amenity package planned for The Mill at McFarlin is built around its open space. Of the nearly 300 acres, about 135 are set aside as open space, including roughly 80 acres of tree preservation, and the community is planned with both natural and paved trails connected by a pedestrian bridge.

Beyond the trail network, the published amenities include a pool, a clubhouse, a fitness area, a pickleball court, dog parks, and playgrounds. As with any new community, amenity timelines often trail home deliveries, so it is worth confirming which amenities are complete and which are still planned at the time you are considering a purchase.

• Pool and clubhouse
• Fitness area
• Pickleball court

Location and getting around

The Mill at McFarlin sits in Nolensville along Kidd Road, between Baronswood Drive and McFarlin Road. Commute times depend entirely on where you are heading and when you leave, and traffic patterns in this corridor vary throughout the day. Rather than rely on an estimated number, the best move is to clock the drive yourself at your real departure time, on a typical weekday, to wherever you actually commute. We are happy to map out the routes that matter to you so you can test them before you commit.

Who it fits

The Mill at McFarlin is likely to appeal to buyers who want a larger, amenity-rich community where the outdoors is part of daily life. With extensive open space, tree preservation, and a connected trail system with a pedestrian bridge, it leans toward those who value walking and being outside. The pool, clubhouse, fitness area, pickleball court, dog parks, and playgrounds add gathering spaces and recreation right within the community.

On the home side, the 2,532-to-3,435-square-foot range and the variety of lot types, from rear-loaded lots to wider 80-foot and 100-by-150-foot lots, give buyers options at different sizes within the same community. Because Beazer emphasizes energy efficiency here, it may also suit buyers focused on lower long-term operating costs. Whether a specific plan and lot fit your needs is worth working through together against current availability and live pricing.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing and which homes and floor plans are actually available right now — new-construction pricing moves by phase, so we pull the live numbers for you before you tour
• HOA dues, what they cover, and how they handle the amenities and open space
• Lot specifics, including which lot type a given home sits on (rear-loaded, 80-foot-wide, or 100-by-150-foot) and any premiums
• The builder warranty, plus exactly what is included in the base price versus what is an upgrade or option
• The construction and sales timeline, including when the community opened for sales and the expected delivery window for your home
• The real commute to where you actually go, clocked yourself at your normal departure time

Where things stand: groundbreaking and what's next

Beazer Homes held a groundbreaking ceremony for The Mill at McFarlin on November 12, 2025, at the property on Kidd Road (Williamson Herald, Nov. 2025; WSMV, Nov. 12, 2025). At that event, Beazer's division leadership spoke about the company's history in the town — Dan Stumpf, the division's president, said the builder was excited to "partner once again with Nolensville," and area president Geoff Hart called Nolensville "a fantastic community for us to work with" (Williamson Herald, Nov. 2025). This is Beazer's second community in the town: its first, Lochridge, broke ground off Rocky Fork Road and was completed in 2023 with 115 homes (newhomesource.com; nolorealestate.com). Per Beazer's own investor-relations announcement, the company expected to begin selling homes at The Mill at McFarlin as early as December 2025, though a groundbreaking date and a first-sale date are separate milestones on any new community, and either can shift — we confirm the actual sales-office opening and release schedule before you make plans around it.

Energy-efficiency certifications (as announced)

Beazer has publicized The Mill at McFarlin as part of its Energy Series READY lineup, stating the homes are being built to qualify as a U.S. Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready Home, along with ENERGY STAR certification and Indoor airPLUS qualification — with DOE's program description citing homes built to that standard as designed to be roughly 40-50% more efficient than a typical new home (Beazer Homes company materials, 2025). Certification-level claims like this are the builder's, tied to a program standard rather than a guarantee for any one finished house, so if energy performance is a priority for you, ask to see the specific certificate or HERS rating for the actual home you're considering rather than relying on the community-level description.

A donation to the town, and what it could mean nearby

As part of the project, Beazer donated a parcel of land to the Town of Nolensville — reported at 12.37 acres by the Williamson Herald and described as "almost 13 acres" in the company's own remarks at the groundbreaking, for the town to use as it decides (Williamson Herald, Nov. 2025; WSMV, Nov. 12, 2025). No specific public-park plan, timeline, or design for that donated parcel had been published as of the reporting we've reviewed. If a future town park or green space next door to the community matters to your decision, that's worth asking the Town of Nolensville planning department directly, since a builder's land donation and a town's eventual use of it are two separate, independently timed processes.

Because The Mill at McFarlin only broke ground in November 2025, essentially everything downstream of that — the sales-office opening date, which floor plans release first, the initial pricing on those plans, and which lot sections open in phase one — can still move before the first contract is signed. Published price ranges and square footages on new-construction communities at this stage typically describe the plan lineup the builder intends to offer, not a live, bookable price list, and both can be revised as a community moves from groundbreaking into active sales. Nothing on this page should be treated as locked in until we've pulled the current release sheet with you.
