The Ridge

The Ridge is a new-construction, single-family community in Nolensville, Tennessee, built by Michael's Homes, LLC. Nolensville sits in the southeastern corner of the Middle Tennessee growth corridor, a town that has held onto a small, walkable historic center while new neighborhoods have filled in around it. The Ridge is one of those newer additions: a place to buy a brand-new home from a single builder in a community that is actively selling. We tour Nolensville new construction regularly, so the notes below are meant to help you decide whether it's worth a closer look — and everything time-sensitive should be confirmed live before you make a decision.

The builder and the homes

The Ridge is built by Michael's Homes, LLC. Because it's a single-builder community, you'll be working within one builder's product line, floor plans, and finish packages rather than choosing between multiple builders on the same street. That can make the buying process more straightforward — one set of plans, one warranty, one design process — but it also means the specific homes, square footages, and features available depend entirely on what Michael's Homes, LLC is offering here at the time you buy.

The homes are single-family. Beyond that, the exact mix — floor plans, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, square-footage ranges, lot sizes, and which finishes are standard versus upgrade — changes as phases open and sell through, so we don't want to put numbers on this page that may be stale by the time you read it. When you're seriously considering The Ridge, we pull the current plan sheets, available inventory, and spec details directly so you're comparing real, present-day options rather than a snapshot from months ago.

Amenities and day-to-day life

We don't have confirmed community amenities to list for The Ridge yet, so rather than guess, we'll verify what's actually in place — and what's planned for future phases — when you tour. New-construction communities often add or finalize shared features (sidewalks, common green space, and similar elements) as they build out, so the day-to-day experience here is best understood by walking it. If amenities matter to your decision, tell us which ones, and we'll confirm exactly what The Ridge offers today before you commit.

Location and getting around

The Ridge is in Nolensville, which puts you in the southeastern part of the Middle Tennessee region with access toward Brentwood, Franklin, and the broader Nashville area via the main corridors that feed the town. Commute times depend entirely on where you're heading and when you leave — traffic on these routes varies a lot by time of day.

The best way to judge the location is to clock it yourself: drive from The Ridge to your actual workplace, school, gym, or grocery store at your real departure time on a normal weekday. That tells you far more than any average drive time we could quote. If you'd like, we can meet you at the community and run those routes with you so you know exactly what your daily drive will feel like.

Who it fits

The Ridge tends to suit buyers who want a brand-new single-family home in Nolensville and prefer the simplicity of working with one builder — a single set of floor plans, one design and warranty process, and the ability to buy new rather than navigate a resale. Because we don't yet have confirmed amenity, lot, or floor-plan specifics, the best fit is someone who wants to tour the current homes in person, compare them against other Nolensville and Williamson County new construction, and decide based on what's actually available now. That's exactly the kind of side-by-side legwork we handle for buyers.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing — base prices and any pricing on available inventory change as phases open and sell, so confirm the live numbers before you compare.
• HOA dues and what they cover — whether there's an HOA, what the dues are, and exactly which services and common areas they include.
• Lot specifics — the size, orientation, grading, and any premiums on the specific lot you're considering.
• Builder warranty and what's included — Michael's Homes, LLC's warranty terms, plus which finishes and features are standard versus an upgrade or option.
• Build timeline — current construction and closing timelines for to-be-built homes versus any move-in-ready inventory.
• The real commute — drive your actual routes at your real departure times before you commit.

Where The Ridge actually sits — and why that matters

Here's an important nuance worth stating plainly: Nolensville isn't contained in one county. The town's mailing address covers pockets of Williamson, Rutherford, and Davidson counties, and The Ridge sits on the Rutherford County side of that line — one of only a couple of Nolensville-address subdivisions that fall outside Williamson County (source: nolorealestate.com's county breakdown of Nolensville subdivisions, accessed 2026-07). That doesn't change what the homes look like or how the community lives day to day, but it does affect which county sets your property tax rate, which government office handles permitting, and which school-zone lines apply. If county lines matter to your decision — for tax planning, for a specific school assignment, or just for clarity — confirm the parcel's county directly with the Rutherford County Property Assessor before you write an offer, rather than assuming based on the Nolensville, TN mailing address alone.

Builders building here — beyond Michael's Homes

Michael's Homes, LLC is the builder most associated with The Ridge, but it is not the only one. Dalamar Homes has also built phases here — as of mid-2026, Dalamar's Phase III inventory in The Ridge has included its 'Oreti' plan on roughly a 0.23-acre lot, alongside other plans in its lineup such as 'Destin,' 'Malibu,' and 'Coronado' (dalamarhomes.com; nashvillesmls.com, accessed 2026-07). A third builder, Ford Classic Homes, has also delivered new homes in The Ridge in the roughly $840,000–$1,000,000 range in more recent phases, per aggregator listings compiling closed sales (as of 2026). Because multiple builders work different phases and sections of the same community, don't assume one builder's floor plans, pricing, or standard-features list applies community-wide — confirm which builder is active in the specific section and lot you're looking at.

Home styles and sizes across the builders

Taken together across the builders that have worked in The Ridge, homes here have ranged roughly from the mid-2,000-sq-ft range up into the 4,000+-sq-ft range, with 3-5 bedrooms and 2-4.5 bathrooms depending on plan and phase, per builder plan sheets and MLS data compiled by local brokerages (nashvillesmls.com; nolensvillerealty.com, as of 2026). Architectural style leans modern-traditional and craftsman, with stone and brick accents and front porches, and on Dalamar's more recent plans, details like 10-foot main-level ceilings, engineered hardwood in main living areas, and low-E windows are advertised as standard (dalamarhomes.com, accessed 2026-07). As always with a multi-builder, multi-phase community, treat any square-footage or feature list as a starting point for research, not a promise about the specific home you'll buy — pull the current plan sheet for the exact lot and builder before you compare it to anything else.

Lot sizes and phases

Lot sizes in The Ridge have varied noticeably by phase: earlier sections were platted with larger lots, while more recent phases (including Dalamar's Phase III activity) have trended toward roughly quarter-acre lots, with a range cited by local sources of about 0.23 to 0.76 acres across the community (nolensvillerealty.com, as of 2026). Street names associated with the community include Dobson Knob Trail, Jade Creek Hollow, Rocky Trail, Sweet Maple Knoll, and Chimney Ridge Trail, spanning what local sources describe as multiple build-out phases dating back to roughly 2016-2017 (nolensvillerealty.com; nolorealestate.com, accessed 2026-07). If a specific lot size, corner-lot premium, or grading detail matters to you, confirm it against the actual plat and builder lot map rather than a community-wide average.

Amenities and HOA — what's confirmed, what to verify

Beyond the amenities note above, here's what multiple independent sources describe for The Ridge: a community swimming pool, sidewalks, and underground utilities (per Michael's Homes' own community marketing, corroborated by local brokerage sites, as of 2026). One local source cites an HOA in the rough range of $180-$600 per year, noting dues vary by phase (nolensvillerealty.com, as of 2026) — but we were not able to independently confirm a current HOA dues figure from the HOA itself, so treat that range as a starting point, not a number to rely on. Before you buy, get the current HOA budget, dues amount and billing frequency, reserve-fund status, and exactly what the dues cover (pool maintenance, common-area landscaping, and similar items) in writing from the management company — not secondhand from a listing description.

Getting around from this side of Nolensville

The Ridge sits on the eastern side of the Nolensville area, off Sam Donald Road, which is the primary access route in and out of this pocket of the community (per local brokerage and builder site descriptions, as of 2026). That puts I-24 within a roughly 10-15 minute drive depending on exact route and time of day — which is the more relevant regional highway for this specific location than the routes that serve the Williamson County side of Nolensville. That's worth noting if you're used to thinking of 'Nolensville' as synonymous with the town's historic square and Nolensville Road corridor, because this pocket of the community connects differently. As with every commute claim on this site, treat this as a starting point: drive it yourself, at your real departure time, before you decide.

What to verify before you buy in The Ridge — the fuller checklist

Price context — dated, sourced, and not a prediction

As of mid-2026, asking and recently closed prices for homes in The Ridge have spanned roughly $639,000 to just under $1,000,000 depending on builder, phase, and floor plan — from Dalamar's published 'Oreti' starting price near $639,900, up through Ford Classic Homes deliveries reported in the $840,000-$1,000,000 range, with several nashvillesmls.com-tracked listings in between (sources: dalamarhomes.com and nashvillesmls.com, accessed 2026-07). Those are snapshots of a specific point in time, not a promise about what a home here will cost when you're ready to buy, or what it will be worth later — new-construction pricing moves with incentives, lot premiums, and market conditions, and we can't predict future prices. Pull current builder pricing and recent closed comps before you make any decision based on cost.
