NOLENSVILLE’S UPSCALE ESTATE COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Catalina

Catalina sits along Rocky Fork Road in the heart of Nolensville, Tennessee, offering half-acre wooded homesites in one of Williamson County’s most established upscale communities. Developed across six phases, Catalina has grown into a neighborhood of approximately 100+ homes that feels both private and connected to everything Nolensville has to offer.

The location puts you minutes from downtown Nolensville’s restaurants, antique shops, and weekly farmers market along Nolensville Road. The Village Green shopping center with Publix is a quick trip for groceries, and Brentwood’s retail and dining options are about 10 minutes north. For commuters, I-24 access via Burkitt Road and I-840 to the south make getting to Nashville, Franklin, or Murfreesboro straightforward.

Streets in Catalina include Catalina Way, Alameda Avenue, Capistrano Way, Los Lomas Way, Clemente Avenue, and Maricopa Court. The neighborhood features mature trees throughout, creating a canopy effect that makes it feel more like a countryside estate community than a typical suburban subdivision. Underground utilities keep the streetscape clean, and sidewalks connect residents throughout the community.

One thing that sets Catalina apart from many Nolensville neighborhoods is the lot size. At roughly half an acre per homesite, you get meaningful distance between homes and room for private outdoor living spaces, play areas, and landscaping that most newer developments simply cannot offer.

The Homes

Catalina was built by Turnberry Homes and D.R. Horton across six phases, with construction spanning from 2008 through approximately 2019. Turnberry handled the majority of the community’s custom and semi-custom homes, while D.R. Horton’s Emerald division contributed to the later phases. The result is a mix of floor plans and architectural styles, with most homes featuring all-brick or brick-and-stone exteriors that give the neighborhood a cohesive, high-end appearance.

Homes in Catalina range from approximately 3,500 to nearly 7,000 square feet, making this one of the larger-home communities in the Nolensville area. Most floor plans include 4 to 6 bedrooms, 3 to 5 full bathrooms, and a half bath. Three-car side-entry garages are standard throughout the community, which is a feature you do not see in many Nolensville neighborhoods.

Interior features commonly include hardwood flooring on main levels, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas fireplaces, and high ceilings ranging from 10 to 12 feet on main levels. Many homes have bonus rooms, media rooms, or finished basements. Several properties back to wooded common areas, offering added privacy beyond what the generous lot sizes already provide.

Lot sizes range from 0.46 to 0.70 acres based on recent sales data. The combination of Turnberry’s semi-custom quality and estate-sized lots creates a product that competes favorably with custom-home neighborhoods at a lower price point.

Amenities

Catalina offers resort-style amenities that match the quality of the homes. The community features a swimming pool and clubhouse that serve as the social hub of the neighborhood. The pool area is where neighbors gather during Tennessee’s warm months, and the clubhouse hosts community events throughout the year, including an annual fall festival that has become a neighborhood tradition.

Walking trails wind through the community, connecting to acres of maintained common green space. The mature tree canopy and wooded buffers between many homesites create a park-like atmosphere that is hard to find in newer Nolensville developments. Sidewalks line the streets throughout all six phases, and underground utilities keep the views clean and uncluttered.

The HOA runs approximately $70 per month ($840 per year) and covers pool and clubhouse maintenance, grounds maintenance for common areas, walking trail upkeep, and community event coordination. For a neighborhood with a pool and clubhouse, this is a reasonable fee compared to some newer Nolensville communities where HOA dues can run $1,200 to $1,800+ annually for similar amenities.

Schools Serving Catalina

Elementary: Sunset Elementary School serves Catalina families. Sunset Elementary is part of Williamson County Schools, consistently ranked among the top school districts in Tennessee.

For buyers, working with Nashville Home Guru gives you access to Compass Private Exclusives and Coming Soon listings, meaning you can see properties before they hit the public market. In a neighborhood like Catalina where only 9 homes traded hands in the past year, early access to inventory can be the difference between finding your home and missing it entirely.

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. In a market where Catalina homes are selling near the million-dollar mark, that 2.9% translates to roughly $29,000 in additional value.

The approach is built on knowing the product phase by phase.

What is my Catalina home worth right now?

Automated estimates from Zillow or Redfin struggle with Catalina because they cannot account for the phase-by-phase differences in build quality, lot position, and finish level that drive the $220 to $288 per square foot range. A Turnberry semi-custom on a wooded 0.70-acre lot values differently than a D.R. Horton Emerald build on a standard lot even at the same square footage. Nashville Home Guru produces detailed analyses using actual MLS transaction data broken down by phase and lot type.
