Cartwright Close

BRENTWOOD’S ULTRA-PRIVATE GATED ESTATE COMMUNITY

Location and Privacy in Cartwright Close

Cartwright Close is one of the most exclusive residential enclaves in Brentwood, Tennessee. With approximately eight estate lots spread across roughly 40 acres, this gated community offers the kind of privacy and space that simply does not exist in most Williamson County neighborhoods.

The community is accessed off Hidden Valley Road in the southern portion of Brentwood, near the Williamson County line with Franklin. Getting here from I-65 means heading west on Moores Lane (which becomes Lynnwood Way), turning onto North Berry’s Chapel Road, then left onto Hidden Valley Road and into the gated entrance on Cartwright Close Drive. The route feels like a country drive, but Cool Springs shopping and dining is only about five minutes away. Downtown Brentwood is less than ten minutes north, and Historic Downtown Franklin is a short drive south on Concord Road.

All properties in Cartwright Close sit on Montmorenci Pass, Round Grove Court, or Cartwright Close Drive. The rolling topography and mature tree cover give each estate a sense of complete seclusion. You can be on your 3 to 5+ acre lot and not see a single neighbor. That level of privacy, within the Brentwood 37027 zip code and Williamson County Schools, is what makes this community so rare.

The Homes

Cartwright Close is a custom estate community. There is no single production builder here. Trace Construction has been the primary builder in the neighborhood, known for high-end custom work throughout Williamson County. The homes reflect individual owner vision combined with elite craftsmanship.

Estates in Cartwright Close are substantial. Recent sales have ranged from approximately 8,900 to 10,200 square feet, with 5 to 6 bedrooms and 6 to 8 total bathrooms. These are multi-story homes built on block foundations with stone and hardboard exteriors, four-car garages, and extensive outdoor living spaces.

Interior features found in recent sales include elevators, gourmet kitchens with double islands, wine cellars, home theaters, exercise rooms, and smart home systems. Multiple fireplaces (both gas and wood-burning) are standard. Finished wood flooring and tile are the primary materials throughout. Primary suites occupy the main level in most floor plans, with additional bedroom suites on upper floors.

Outdoor living is a major component. In-ground pools, covered porches with fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, and extensive landscaping with irrigation systems are common. The acreage allows for features like detached guest quarters, sport courts, or equestrian facilities that would not be possible on typical Brentwood lots.

The community is on septic systems with city water, which is standard for estate properties on acreage in this part of Brentwood.

Community Features

Cartwright Close is not an amenity-driven community in the traditional sense. There is no pool, clubhouse, or tennis facility. What it offers instead is what buyers at this level actually want: a security gate, underground utilities, and total privacy on multi-acre estate lots surrounded by the rolling hills that define this part of Williamson County.

The gated entrance provides controlled access to the community. Security systems and fire alarms are standard features in the homes. The surrounding landscape of mature hardwoods and open pasture creates a countryside atmosphere that feels worlds apart from suburban Brentwood, despite being minutes from Cool Springs, I-65, and downtown Franklin.

HOA dues of $500 per month cover gate maintenance, road upkeep, and common area management. Given the level of privacy and security provided, these dues are in line with other ultra-luxury gated communities in Brentwood like Governors Club, Hampton Reserve, and Windstone.

For sellers, our Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy delivers measurable results. Homes pre-marketed through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction. For a $5.5 million property, that 2.9% difference represents nearly $160,000 in additional value. Phase 1 (Private Exclusive) tests your price with a select audience before going public.
