Benington

NOLENSVILLE’S PREMIER CUSTOM HOME COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Benington

Benington is one of the largest and most established luxury communities in Nolensville, Tennessee, with approximately 194 custom homes across 10 sections along Sunset Road in Williamson County. This is the kind of neighborhood where every home has its own architectural identity, half-acre lots back to wooded common areas, and the community pool and trail system get genuine daily use from residents.

Two entrances provide access to Benington: Benington Place off Sunset Road and Briarcliff Drive through the neighboring Winterset Woods community. Both connect to the Nolensville trail system, a multi-use path that runs through the Sunset Road corridor and connects to downtown Nolensville, the Williamson County Recreation Complex, and neighboring communities including Eulas Glen, Brittain Downs, and Sunset Park.

Cool Springs shopping and dining is approximately 20 minutes away. Downtown Nashville is roughly 25 minutes depending on traffic. Arrington Vineyard is a 20-minute drive for weekend outings. The Williamson County Medical Center is about 20 minutes as well. Access to I-65 and I-24 keeps commutes to the broader Nashville metro manageable.

Proximity to the Sunset school campus is one of Benington’s strongest selling points. Homes closer to Sunset Road are less than a mile from both Sunset Elementary and Sunset Middle School, and the trail system provides a walkable route. Homes in the back of the community along Belgian Road are approximately 1.7 miles from the campus, though bus service covers all sections.

The Homes

Benington is a multi-builder community with homes constructed by some of Nolensville’s most respected custom builders. Barlow Builders, Grove Park Construction, DAC New Homes, Tennessee Valley Homes, and Defatta Custom Home have all built within the community. This diversity of builders creates a streetscape where no two homes look alike, with each lot reflecting the individual builder’s design approach and the homeowner’s personal vision.

Development began in 2006 on the streets closest to Sunset Road and continued through 2022, with the newest sections along Belgian Road and Oldenburg Road in the back of the community. This extended timeline means Benington is simultaneously an established neighborhood with mature landscaping and a community with newer construction that features the latest design trends.

Based on the past 12 months of closed sales, homes range from approximately 3,717 to nearly 5,000 square feet, with 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3.5 to 5.5 bathrooms. The overwhelming majority of homes are all-brick construction, with some featuring hardboard or stone accents. Architectural styles lean traditional, with two-story floor plans being the most common, though you’ll also find 1.5-story and three-story homes with partial or full basements.

Lot sizes run from 0.46 to 0.56 acres across the community. The half-acre minimum gives homeowners generous outdoor space, and many lots back to wooded common areas or open green space that creates additional buffers between properties. Premium interior features commonly include hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, custom built-ins, stone fireplaces, gourmet kitchens with oversized islands, and dedicated home offices.

Amenities

Benington offers a solid set of shared amenities for a community at this price point. The community pool is the centerpiece, along with a kiddie pool with a mushroom fountain feature. A clubhouse, playground, soccer field, and tennis courts round out the shared facilities.

One important detail that some buyers are surprised to learn: Benington shares its pool and amenity facilities with the neighboring Winterset Woods community. The two neighborhoods have a shared HOA board and shared amenity access. This is worth knowing upfront because the pool serves a larger resident base than Benington alone.

Walking trails run throughout the community and connect to the broader Nolensville trail system. These trails provide pedestrian access to Sunset Elementary and Sunset Middle School, the Williamson County Recreation Complex, and downtown Nolensville. Sidewalks and underground utilities throughout the neighborhood keep the streetscape clean and walkable.

HOA dues are approximately $220 per quarter ($880 per year). This covers pool and amenity maintenance, grounds maintenance for common areas, and walking trail upkeep. The HOA enforces architectural standards to maintain the community’s overall appearance and property values.
