Bishops Gate

FRANKLIN’S BOUTIQUE GATED ENCLAVE 2 MILES FROM DOWNTOWN

Location and Daily Life in Bishops Gate

Bishops Gate sits off Boyd Mill Avenue in Franklin’s 37064 zip code, roughly two miles from Historic Downtown Franklin. The entry is accessed from Boyd Mill via Bishops Gate Road, and from I-65 the drive in runs about ten minutes. That gives residents one of the tightest proximity-to-downtown ratios of any gated community in Williamson County.

Two miles to the Franklin square means Puckett’s, Gray’s on Main, and the Saturday Farmer’s Market are genuinely close. Jim Warren Park is essentially at the front door of the subdivision, offering athletic fields, walking paths, and open green space, and Mack Hatcher Parkway connects quickly to Cool Springs and I-65 for commuters heading to Nashville or Brentwood.

The surrounding area along this section of Boyd Mill and Del Rio Pike keeps a rural feel despite the proximity to downtown. Mature tree lines and larger lot sizes buffer residents from the commercial activity a few miles away, creating a private retreat that does not require a long drive from anything. The most comparable nearby enclave is Benelli Park, another boutique community off the same Boyd Mill corridor.

The Homes in Bishops Gate

Bishops Gate is an 18-home boutique gated community developed by Turnberry Homes between 2019 and 2021. Every home is all-brick construction on private homesites ranging from approximately half an acre to two and a half acres. The community was designed as a small, curated enclave rather than a large subdivision, and the lot count reflects that intention.

Turnberry offered multiple award-winning floor plans in Bishops Gate, including the Westchester, Glen Abbey III, and others in the 4,000 to 6,000 square foot range. Homes feature open kitchens with butler’s pantries and large islands, covered rear porches, three-car garages, primary and guest suites on the main level with additional bedrooms upstairs, and full ensuite baths in every bedroom. Several lots were large enough to accommodate pools, and many current owners have added pools and outdoor kitchens to their private rear yards. Underground utilities keep the streetscape clean, and all homes were built on level lots, which is less common in Franklin’s luxury segment than the terrain might suggest and makes pool and outdoor-living buildouts considerably more practical.

Bishops Gate Market Snapshot

Bishops Gate is one of the most tightly held communities in Franklin. With only 18 homes total, resale opportunities are rare by design, and no homes closed under the Bishops Gate name over the most recent rolling 12-month period. When homes here have traded, they have done so in the seven figures, with a recent all-brick sale reported around $1,700,000 for roughly 5,191 square feet. Because in-neighborhood sales are this infrequent, pricing is best established through a hand-built comparable analysis using the broader Boyd Mill corridor and Franklin’s gated-luxury segment rather than a single data point. The community profile below is the most reliable read where individual closed-sale volume is this thin.

Bishops Gate Amenities and Setting

Bishops Gate is a gated community with access-controlled entry, underground utilities throughout, and a curated streetscape that reflects the boutique development model Turnberry Homes built. The HOA fee of $150 per month covers common area maintenance and gate operations. There is no community pool or clubhouse, which is by design for a neighborhood of this size and price point.

Jim Warren Park sits adjacent to the Boyd Mill Avenue corridor near the subdivision entrance, with athletic fields, open green space, a walking path, and recreational facilities that serve as a de facto backyard amenity for Bishops Gate residents. The proximity to downtown Franklin is itself an amenity that most gated communities in Williamson County cannot match: Main Street, Carter’s Court, Puckett’s Grocery, and the seasonal Farmer’s Market at The Factory are all within two miles. For a gated luxury community, that combination of security, privacy, and immediate urban walkability is unusual.

Bishops Gate Schools

Bishops Gate sits within the City of Franklin and is served by the Franklin Special School District for elementary and middle grades, and by Williamson County Schools for high school. Based on the recorded assignments for this section of Boyd Mill Avenue, homes are zoned to:

Elementary: Poplar Grove Elementary School, grades K-4 (Franklin Special School District)

Middle: Poplar Grove Middle School, grades 5-8 (Franklin Special School District)

High: Franklin High School, grades 9-12 (Williamson County Schools)

Important note: Because Bishops Gate is zoned to the Franklin Special School District for elementary and middle school, homes here carry an additional City of Franklin property tax that funds the FSSD, on top of Williamson County property tax. School zoning can also change year to year and can vary by address, so always confirm the current assignment and tax detail for a specific Bishops Gate home with the Franklin Special School District before you make an offer.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

Bishops Gate is one of the most tightly held communities in Franklin. With only 18 homes total, resale opportunities are rare, and with no closings under the neighborhood’s own name in the past 12 months, pricing cannot come from a Zestimate or a single comparable; it comes from a hand-built analysis of the Boyd Mill corridor and Franklin’s gated-luxury segment. When a home does become available here, it often moves through a Compass Private Exclusive or word-of-mouth before a public listing is ever created, so being inside the right network matters. Across the Franklin luxury market above $1 million, Compass and Parks agents represented roughly 47 percent of all closings over the past 12 months, more than any other brokerage.

Patrick Higgins leads Nashville Home Guru at Compass, a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent ranked in the top 1 percent statewide, leading the team ranked number one in Nashville and number seven in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings. With 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in residential sales across Middle Tennessee, and 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews, the team brings the local data depth this segment requires. For a closer look, see how Patrick Higgins compares to other Franklin listing agents.

Compass is the number one residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. After merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents represent approximately one in four homes sold in Tennessee, giving Bishops Gate buyers and sellers access to coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and the largest agent referral network in real estate.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy is designed precisely for communities like this. Phase 1 launches your home as a Compass Private Exclusive to reach pre-qualified luxury buyers before accumulating any days on market, Phase 2 builds demand through Compass Coming Soon without revealing price history, and Phase 3 launches publicly with maximum momentum. Homes pre-marketed this way sell for 2.9 percent more, go under contract 20 percent faster, and are 30 percent less likely to experience a price reduction. On a $1.7 million Bishops Gate home, that 2.9 percent advantage alone is roughly $49,000 in additional proceeds. Learn more about selling your home on your terms at nashvillehome.guru.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Bishops Gate?

Patrick builds valuation from comparable Boyd Mill corridor and Franklin gated-luxury sales, factoring in floor plan, lot size, and pool or outdoor-living improvements. For sellers, he uses Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon to reach qualified luxury buyers before a home ever hits Zillow. As a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent whose team tracks every Franklin luxury closing, Patrick prices and negotiates from data even where the public record is thin.
