Orrinshire

Orrinshire is a new-construction single-family community in Fairview, Tennessee, built by Drees Homes on half-acre lots. The defining feature here is space: every home is set on a generous half-acre parcel, and a 3-car side-entry garage is the community standard, so the streetscape reads as room to spread out rather than driveways stacked side by side. If you're looking at new construction on the western edge of Williamson County and want a larger lot under your home, Orrinshire is worth a close look.

The builder and the homes

Orrinshire is a Drees Homes community. The homes are single-family new construction, and one feature is consistent across the neighborhood: a 3-car side-entry garage on every home. The side-entry layout keeps garage doors off the front elevation, which is part of why the streets here feel less driveway-heavy than a typical front-loaded subdivision.

Drees offers six plans at Orrinshire, and the exact plan list, available homesites, and what's actually buildable on each lot shifts as the community sells through — see the full plan lineup with square footage and bed/bath counts below, and we'll confirm current availability before you go look.

Lots and day-to-day living

The half-acre-plus lots are the headline of the everyday experience at Orrinshire. A generous homesite gives you meaningful separation from your neighbors and yard to work with, which tends to appeal to buyers who want a larger footprint than a standard new-construction lot offers. Combined with the standard 3-car side-entry garages, the community is oriented toward homes that have a bit of breathing room around them.

Who it fits

Orrinshire tends to fit buyers who want a new-construction single-family home on a larger lot. The half-acre homesites and the standard 3-car side-entry garages make it a natural match for anyone who needs garage space — for vehicles, projects, storage, or all three — and who values yard and separation between homes over a denser, amenity-driven layout.

Because we tour new-construction communities across Middle Tennessee constantly, we can tell you how Orrinshire stacks up against other Drees and non-Drees options on lot size, the build process, and what you actually get for the price. We represent buyers in new construction at little or no cost to you, and we'll help you find the right fit and navigate the build from contract through closing.

The six Drees floor plans

Drees builds six plans at Orrinshire: the Marshall, Parkhill, Colton, Monroe, Somerville, and Arydale. Across the lineup, base plans run roughly 2,969 to 3,748 square feet, with 4 to 7 bedrooms and 3 to 5 full bathrooms, and completed homes with structural upgrades have closed as large as around 4,605 square feet (NewHomeSource, as of 2026-06). Drees is a build-to-order builder here rather than a pure spec-home shop — buyers work with a Design Consultant to select structural options and interior finishes, so two Marshalls on the same street can look meaningfully different depending on what the original buyer chose.

Every home in Orrinshire has a 3-car side-entry garage as the community standard, with a 4-car option available on select plans and homesites. Exteriors run fiber-cement siding with brick accents, and smart-home technology is standard on select plans (Drees Homes, dreeshomes.com, as of 2026-06). Ask for the current spec sheet on whichever plan you're considering — Drees rotates included features and upgrade pricing, and we'll confirm exactly what's standard on the home you're looking at before you sign anything.

The builder: Drees Homes

Drees Homes is a family-owned builder that has been in business since 1928, making it one of the older continuously-operating homebuilders in the country; the company builds in 10 regions across the U.S., including the Nashville market (Drees Homes, dreeshomes.com). Locally, Drees runs its Nashville-area sales office and Design Center out of 1651 Westgate Circle, Brentwood, TN 37027 (615-371-9750) — that's where Orrinshire buyers go for their design selections appointment, not a showroom on-site at the community.

Drees homes generally carry a 1-year workmanship-and-materials warranty plus a 10-year structural warranty covering major load-bearing elements — foundation, framing, beams, and columns — if a failure affects the safety of the home, and the warranty is transferable to a subsequent buyer (Drees Homes, dreeshomes.com/warranty). Get the exact warranty document for your contract in writing; warranty terms can vary slightly by region and by when you close.

Lot sizes, pricing, and what's sold so far

Homesites at Orrinshire run roughly 0.48 to 0.68 acres, generally level, with some lots carrying a premium for privacy or position (NewHomeSource / Redfin community data, as of 2026-06). Over the trailing 12 months, 15 homes closed in the community with sale prices ranging from $929,000 to $1,340,785 — a median of roughly $1,105,000 and an average price per square foot in the $238–$326 range (aggregator-reported closed-sale data, as of 2026-06). We can't predict where prices go from here; treat this as historical context, not a forecast, and we'll pull live listings and recent closings for you before you make an offer.

HOA dues at Orrinshire run approximately $100 a month (about $1,200 a year), reported to cover trash service and common-area maintenance (aggregator-reported, as of 2026-06) — get the actual recorded HOA documents and current due amount confirmed with the builder or HOA management company before you're under contract, since dues and covenants are the kind of detail that should come from the source, not a listing site.

Location, commute, and what's nearby

Orrinshire sits off Orrinshire Drive and Woodwick Drive in Fairview, Williamson County, roughly 20-25 miles southwest of downtown Nashville, with access to I-40 and TN-840 (a southern loop connecting to both directions of I-40) without having to route through central Nashville traffic (Fairview, TN city site; Wikipedia geographic data). Cool Springs and downtown Franklin are commonly cited as about a 25-minute drive from Fairview under normal conditions — measure it yourself at your real departure time before you rely on it.

Bowie Nature Park — a free, city-owned 700-plus-acre park with five lakes and roughly 14-17 miles of trails, a nature center, playground, and picnic shelters — is a short drive from Orrinshire off Highway 100 in Fairview (Bowie Nature Park, bowiepark.org). The Fairview Recreation Complex on Fairview Blvd, run by Williamson County Parks and Recreation, has a seasonal outdoor pool, gymnasium, fitness rooms, youth ballfields, and a soccer field (wcparksandrec.com) — both are the kind of day-to-day lifestyle amenities Orrinshire itself doesn't include directly but that shape what living in Fairview actually feels like.

Utilities and schools

Fairview's water service comes from the Water Authority of Dickson County (615-441-9511), not one of the Nashville-area utility districts — a detail worth knowing since it differs from much of the rest of Williamson County. Electric service in Fairview is provided by Middle Tennessee Electric, and natural gas by Piedmont Natural Gas (800-752-7504); trash pickup runs through the city's contracted hauler. Confirm the exact providers and current rates for the specific address you're considering, since utility district boundaries can shift block to block (Fairview, TN utilities directory; provider websites, as of 2026-06).

Orrinshire is zoned to Westwood Elementary School, Fairview Middle School, and Fairview High School, all part of Williamson County Schools (as of 2026-06). Schools are assigned by address, and zoning lines can be redrawn — pull the current Williamson County Schools zoning map and the GreatSchools.org and Tennessee Department of Education report cards for the specific address before you buy.

What to verify before you buy in Orrinshire

• Current price and incentives on the exact plan and homesite you want — Drees periodically runs limited-time buyer incentives (for example, a builder flex-cash promotion tied to specific closing windows has appeared on quick-move-in and build-to-order homes here); confirm what's currently being offered and its expiration before you rely on it.
• The recorded HOA declaration, current dues, and what they cover — the ~$100/month figure is aggregator-reported, not a document we've reviewed line by line; get the actual covenant and fee schedule from the builder or HOA manager.
• Which of the six floor plans are still available to build vs. which homesites are already spoken for, since availability shifts as the community sells through.
• The exact lot dimensions, grading, drainage, and any easements on your specific homesite — the 0.48-0.68 acre range is a community span, not a guarantee for any one lot.
• Which utility district actually serves your specific address (water, electric, gas can vary within Fairview) and current connection/tap fees.
• The current Williamson County Schools zoning for the specific address, confirmed directly with the district, plus independent GreatSchools.org and TN Dept of Education report cards.
• Property tax math for your specific purchase price using Fairview's current city rate plus the Williamson County rate, run through the county's actual assessment ratio — we'll help you calculate it, but pull the current rates from the Williamson County Trustee and City of Fairview directly since rates are reset periodically.
• Builder warranty terms in writing for your specific contract, and a clear line-item on what's standard versus an upgrade on the plan you've selected.
• Build timeline for your homesite, and how Drees handles weather, supply, or schedule changes for a build-to-order home.
• The real commute. Measure your own drive to the places you go most, at your real departure time — don't rely on an estimate.
