Willow Ridge

Willow Ridge is an upscale, low-density new-construction enclave in Nolensville, Tennessee, set on a 42-acre parcel at 2671 Sanford Road, roughly two miles from downtown Nolensville. With just 44 homes and no back-to-back homesites, it's designed as a quieter, spread-out community of large contemporary residences on sizable lots. The community opened on April 26, 2025, and as of that opening was actively selling, with homes starting at $1.2 million. New-construction pricing and availability move quickly, so we pull current numbers before you tour.

The builder and the homes

Willow Ridge is built by John Wieland Homes, a PulteGroup brand. The community features four contemporary single-family design plans, with homes ranging from 3,775 to more than 6,000 square feet. Floor plans offer up to 8 bedrooms and up to 7.5 baths, giving buyers room to spread out across multiple levels.

Premium structural and design features are part of what defines the homes here. Plans can include built-out basements, three-sided fireplaces, and multi-panel sliding doors that open interior living to the outdoors. Practical touches such as pet wash stations and smart-home capabilities round out the lineup. Homes carry Energy Star certification and come with a ten-year home warranty. Which features are standard versus optional upgrades varies by plan, so we recommend confirming the included-versus-upgrade list with the builder for the specific home you're considering.

Amenities and day-to-day living

Willow Ridge is a smaller community where the lots themselves do a lot of the work — homesites run up to 1.1 acres, and the no-back-to-back-homesites layout keeps the neighborhood feeling open. For shared amenities, the community includes a playground tot lot and accessible walking trails, giving residents space to get outside close to home. We always confirm the current amenity package and any phasing directly with the builder, since plans can evolve as a community builds out.

Location and getting around

Willow Ridge sits at 2671 Sanford Road in Nolensville, about two miles from downtown Nolensville. Because everyone's daily routine is different, the smartest way to judge a commute is to drive it yourself at your real departure time — a weekday morning run to your office, school, or the airport will tell you far more than any estimate. If you tell us where you head most often, we can help you map a realistic route and time it on a typical day.

For general orientation: Nolensville sits roughly 22 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, and Nashville International Airport (BNA) is on the order of 16 miles away, with realistic drive times commonly falling in the 25-45 minute range depending on time of day and route. Nolensville doesn't have its own interstate interchange, so most trips run through Nolensville Road/Pike toward either Brentwood and I-65 to the west or Murfreesboro Road and I-24 to the east — another reason to time-test your specific commute rather than lean on mileage alone. PulteGroup's own marketing for Willow Ridge cited roughly 40 minutes to downtown Nashville at the community's April 2025 opening (Williamson Source, 2025-04).

Locally, Willow Ridge is close to the emerging Nolensville Town Square development and to Nolensville's Rocky Fork/Clovercroft corridor, where a Kroger Marketplace-anchored, 36-acre mixed-use project (grocery, retail, dining, and residential) was under construction as of an April 2026 report, with Phase I — including the grocery store — targeted for around April 2027 (source: nolorealestate.com, published 2026-04-09). Until that opens, the closest everyday grocery options run along the Nolensville Road corridor toward Nashville (existing Kroger and Publix locations) plus an Aldi on Nolensville Pike in Nashville. New retail is actively being built out in this part of Williamson County, so we'd confirm current nearest-location details against your specific routine rather than a snapshot here.

The floor plans, by name

John Wieland Homes markets Willow Ridge's four design plans under individual names, not just numbers: the Harrington (a Den, Formal Dining, and first-floor Owner's Suite), the Worthington (a welcoming foyer with a first-floor Guest Suite, built for families who host), the Stonegate (a larger-family layout with a spacious gathering room and a private Owner's Retreat off the Owner's Suite, also with a first-floor Guest Suite), and the Foxmoor. Elevation styles across the John Wieland lineup in this market run toward modern farmhouse, modern prairie, and contemporary exteriors, consistent with the community's contemporary design positioning (source: jwhomes.com plan pages, 2026). Which elevations and structural options are available on which homesites shifts as the community builds out, so we confirm current plan availability, elevation choices, and included-vs-upgrade features directly with the builder's sales team before you tour.

Nolensville: the town Willow Ridge sits in

Nolensville is a town in Williamson County roughly 22 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, covering about 10.4 square miles. Its population has grown quickly: the 2020 Census count was 13,829, and more recent estimates from demographic-data aggregators put the current figure noticeably higher — we'd treat any specific number quoted for 2025 or 2026 as an estimate rather than an official count, since the next full Census isn't until 2030. Nolensville was founded in 1797 and incorporated as a modern Tennessee municipality in 1996. Its most visible annual event is the Nolensville Buttercup Festival, and downtown Nolensville (the Town Square area) is a small but growing walkable commercial district with local shops and restaurants, alongside additional retail and grocery development underway nearby along the Nolensville Road/Rocky Fork corridor. For anything time-sensitive — new business openings, festival dates, current hours — the Town of Nolensville's own site (nolensvilletn.gov) is the source to check rather than a dated snapshot here.

Taxes and what they fund

Willow Ridge is inside the Town of Nolensville, so a home here is subject to both Nolensville's municipal property tax rate and the Williamson County rate — Williamson County collects Nolensville's property tax on the town's behalf. Heading into the 2025-2026 budget cycle, Nolensville's Board of Commissioners was actively revisiting its municipal rate (reported at $0.29 per $100 of assessed value ahead of that cycle, with a multi-year increase under discussion), while Williamson County's commission passed a FY2026 county rate of $1.30 per $100 of assessed value — itself a decrease from the prior year's $1.88 following reassessment (sources: williamsoncounty-tn.gov FY2026 rate document; Williamson Herald reporting on Nolensville's budget, 2025). Property tax rates move with each budget cycle and reassessment, so we'd pull the current combined rate — and what it means in dollars for a specific home's assessed value — before you buy, rather than relying on a rate that may already be stale.

Schools serving the area

Willow Ridge falls within Williamson County Schools, which draws attendance zones by address rather than by neighborhood name, and zone lines are periodically redrawn as the county grows. Rather than name a specific assigned school here — something that can and does change — we'd run your exact address through the Williamson County Schools zone lookup tool at wcs.edu, and separately pull the current GreatSchools.org and Tennessee Department of Education report card for whichever school comes back, so you're working from the official zone and the state's own data rather than a secondhand summary.

Real-world pricing context (not a prediction)

At its April 2025 grand opening, Willow Ridge was marketed starting at $1.2 million (PulteGroup/Williamson Source, 2025-04). As of aggregator listings pulled in mid-2026, builder pricing across the community has been reported in a range roughly from a $1.12-$1.15 million floor up to about $1.35 million depending on plan, elevation, lot, and finish level, with resale listings in the broader Willow Ridge footprint occasionally showing higher figures reflecting upgrades and lot premiums. These are snapshots from specific listing dates, not appraisals and not a forecast — pricing at a still-selling new-construction community moves with each release of homesites, and we can't predict where it goes from here. We pull live builder pricing and any current incentives before every showing so you're working from today's numbers, not a cached one.

Frequently asked questions about Willow Ridge

Is Willow Ridge a gated or age-restricted community?

No. Willow Ridge is marketed as an open, all-ages single-family community — its defining characteristics are the low home count (44 total), larger lots up to 1.1 acres, and a no-back-to-back-homesites layout, not gating or age restrictions. Confirm current details directly with the builder, since community rules and any HOA covenants are set by the developer and homeowners' association, not by us.

Does Willow Ridge have a homeowners association, and what does it cover?

New-construction communities with shared amenities like Willow Ridge's playground and walking trails typically come with an HOA to maintain those common areas, and builder/aggregator listings for the community reference monthly HOA dues. We don't publish a specific dues figure here because HOA fees can change and vary by phase — we pull the current HOA documents (dues, exactly what's covered, and any transfer or capital-contribution requirements) for the specific home you're considering before you're under contract.

How far is Willow Ridge from Franklin and Brentwood?

Both are reasonably close as Williamson County towns go, but neither is a quick hop on an interstate — Nolensville sits in the southeastern part of the county while Franklin and Brentwood are more central/western, so plan on a real drive through local roads rather than a straight-line estimate. As with any commute question, we'd rather have you test-drive the specific route and time of day you'd actually use than quote a single number that may not match your real-world traffic.

Is Willow Ridge still selling, and are new phases planned?

As of this page's last verification, Willow Ridge was actively selling. With only 44 total homes on a fixed 42-acre footprint, the community is finite by design — there's no room for additional phases beyond the original plan, so available homesites and floor plans will continue to sell down over time. We track availability directly with the builder and can tell you the current homesite count and which plans are still open to build.

Who Willow Ridge fits

Willow Ridge tends to suit buyers who want a large, single-family home with contemporary design and don't want to be packed in tight — the sizable lots up to 1.1 acres, the no-back-to-back-homesites layout, and the limited count of 44 homes all point toward space and privacy. Buyers drawn to premium structural features like built-out basements, three-sided fireplaces, and multi-panel sliding doors will find those built into the plans here. The playground tot lot and walking trails add everyday outdoor options without the scale of a large amenity-driven development. As always, the right fit depends on your priorities, and we're happy to walk through whether this community matches what you're after.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing — the $1.2 million starting point reflects the community's opening; we pull live numbers for the specific home and lot you're considering.
• HOA dues and exactly what they cover (trail maintenance, common areas, and any community services).
• Lot specifics — size, orientation, grade, and which homesites are still available, since lots run up to 1.1 acres with no back-to-back homesites.
• Builder warranty details and the included-versus-upgrade breakdown for your chosen plan and its features.
• Construction timeline and which of the four named design plans (Harrington, Worthington, Stonegate, Foxmoor) are available to build or move-in ready, plus current elevation options.
• The combined Nolensville + Williamson County property tax rate for the current budget cycle, applied to the specific home's assessed value.
• Your zoned schools for the exact address, pulled fresh from the Williamson County Schools zone lookup tool since zone lines can shift.
• The real commute — drive your actual routes at your normal departure times before you commit, especially given the lack of a direct interstate interchange in Nolensville.
• Status of nearby retail/grocery development (the Rocky Fork/Clovercroft Kroger Marketplace project) if walkable or short-drive amenities factor into your decision.
