Cheviot Hills

BRENTWOOD’S PRIVATE ENCLAVE OF JUST SIXTEEN ESTATES ON 1-ACRE LOTS

Location and Daily Life in Cheviot Hills

Cheviot Hills is one of the most private residential communities in Brentwood, Tennessee. Tucked off Chevoit Drive and Ben Nevis Court in Williamson County, this enclave of just sixteen custom-built estates has no through traffic, no cut-through access, and a quiet character that belies how close it sits to everything Brentwood offers. Cool Springs, Whole Foods, and the full commercial infrastructure of Brentwood’s primary corridors are within ten minutes. Franklin’s downtown square is about 15 minutes south.

Interstate 65 is accessible within a few minutes, putting downtown Nashville roughly 25 minutes away in normal traffic. The neighborhood’s cul-de-sac configuration means that the only vehicles on these streets belong to residents and their guests. This is an important distinction from neighborhoods that technically have low traffic but still function as cut-throughs during peak hours. In Cheviot Hills, the street belongs to the sixteen families who live there.

The mature trees that line every lot in the community are the product of nearly three decades of growth since the homes were built in 1997. The canopy this produces, combined with the one-plus-acre lot sizes, gives Cheviot Hills the feel of a private preserve rather than a suburban subdivision. Buyers who have spent time in the neighborhood consistently describe it as a place that feels significantly more removed from the surrounding development than the actual map distance would suggest.

The Homes in Cheviot Hills

Every home in Cheviot Hills was built in 1997, and the community’s consistency of era and character is part of what defines it. All-brick and all-brick-with-wood-siding construction, two-story traditional floor plans, three and four-car garages, and lot sizes between 0.96 and 1.17 acres are the baseline specifications across the community. These are not production homes. Each was custom-built, and the range of square footage, from the upper 3,000s to over 7,000 square feet, reflects the individuality of each estate within a coherent architectural neighborhood.

Common interior features across Cheviot Hills homes include soaring high ceilings, hardwood floors, gourmet kitchens updated with professional appliances, screened-in porches, wet bars, walk-in closets, and generous secondary bedrooms. Theater rooms, flex spaces, and bonus rooms appear frequently in the larger floor plans. French doors leading to screened porches with outdoor fireplaces characterize several homes in the community. The custom builder heritage, including documented examples of custom work by Dan Stern Jr., shows in the millwork, ceiling treatments, and room proportions that production homes from the same era never achieved.

Buyers considering Cheviot Hills should understand that the $281 to $392 per square foot range in recent closed sales reflects genuine variation in renovation level and floor plan, not pricing inconsistency. The $392 PPSF sale involved a heavily updated 3,877 square foot home that sold above asking in zero days on market. The $281 PPSF sale was a 5,334 square foot home with more square footage to price. Across all three closed sales in the trailing 12 months, the average sale-to-list ratio was 96.8%, reflecting a market where well-priced Cheviot Hills homes find buyers.

Amenities

Cheviot Hills does not have a community pool or clubhouse. The HOA fee is $120 to $150 per year, essentially nominal at approximately $10 to $12 per month, and covers common area maintenance only. This is the lowest annual HOA cost in the Brentwood $1.5M-plus luxury market by a significant margin. At $150 per year, the fee is less than what some amenity-heavy Brentwood communities charge in a single week.

The community’s amenity model is estate-based: owners invest in private amenities on their own one-acre-plus parcels. Screened porches with outdoor fireplaces, three and four-car garages configured as heated living and hobby spaces, professional-grade kitchen installations, theater rooms, and gas grills with outdoor kitchen setups all appear in Cheviot Hills homes. The lot sizes support that level of private outdoor development without the compromise of shared facilities.

Crockett Park is a short drive away with its trail system, athletic fields, and recreational facilities. The Maryland Farms YMCA complex is nearby for fitness and family programming. Cool Springs’ commercial corridor handles everyday dining, grocery, and retail needs within ten minutes.

Schools

Cheviot Hills is zoned for Williamson County Schools, confirmed across all four active and recently closed transactions in the CSV. The school pipeline is Edmondson Elementary, Brentwood Middle School, and Brentwood High School.

Edmondson Elementary serves a focused attendance zone in this part of southwest Brentwood. Brentwood Middle School on Granny White Pike has a strong academic and extracurricular reputation. Brentwood High School is consistently ranked among the top public high schools in Tennessee for academics, athletics, and arts. This is the Brentwood High attendance zone, distinct from the Ravenwood High zone that serves other parts of 37027. Always verify current zoning directly with Williamson County Schools before purchasing.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

Compass and Parks agents represented both sides of two of the three Cheviot Hills closed sales in the trailing 12-month period, accounting for 66.7% of all transactions in the community. That level of network presence in a 16-home subdivision is not coincidental. It reflects the kind of buyer access, pre-market intelligence, and targeted outreach that the Compass network produces in exactly the low-inventory, high-specification communities where most of the market activity is never publicly announced.

Patrick Higgins leads Nashville Home Guru at Compass, ranked #1 team in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends. With 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales across Middle Tennessee, Patrick brings the market data and luxury network to operate effectively in communities like Cheviot Hills, where a one-home-per-month-per-year turnover rate means every transaction is its own event.

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 and Parks agents represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee. In Williamson County’s $1.5M-plus tier, that means access to the most active buyer pool, the widest pre-market network, and the referral reach that produces results in communities of this size.

For Cheviot Hills sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy is the right approach. With 16 homes in the community and three to four closings per year, every pricing and marketing decision matters. 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. On a $1.6M to $2M Cheviot Hills home, 2.9% represents $46,000 to $58,000. The community’s most recent under-contract sale went under contract in two days at $2,000,000, which is precisely what happens when the right buyers know about a home before it reaches the public market.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cheviot Hills in Brentwood, TN

What are homes in Cheviot Hills Brentwood TN selling for?

Three Cheviot Hills homes closed in the trailing 12 months at $1,500,000, $1,520,000, and $1,925,000, producing a median of $1,520,000 and an average of $1,648,333.

An additional home is currently under contract at $2,000,000 after just two days on market, which puts the community’s upper end comfortably in the $2M range for larger, well-updated floor plans.

What is the HOA fee in Cheviot Hills?

Cheviot Hills carries one of the most remarkable HOA fee structures in the Brentwood luxury market: $120 to $150 per year. That is not per month. The annual fee works out to approximately $10 to $12 per month and covers common area maintenance only. There is no community pool, clubhouse, or amenity overhead included. For buyers comparing Cheviot Hills against gated communities or amenity-driven neighborhoods where HOA fees run $300 to $800 or more per month, the cost-of-ownership difference over a ten-year hold is substantial. Always confirm the current fee directly with the HOA during due diligence.

What schools serve Cheviot Hills in Brentwood?

Cheviot Hills is zoned for Williamson County Schools with the pipeline: Edmondson Elementary, Brentwood Middle School, and Brentwood High School. All four properties in the current dataset confirm this assignment. Brentwood High School is consistently ranked among the top public high schools in Tennessee. This is the Brentwood High zone, not the Ravenwood High zone. Verify current zoning with Williamson County Schools before purchase.

How many homes are in Cheviot Hills?

Cheviot Hills has exactly 16 estate homes. This is one of the smallest and most exclusive residential communities in Brentwood. Three closed in the trailing 12 months and one went under contract in two days, which means approximately 20% of the neighborhood transacted in a single year, an unusually high turnover rate for a community of this type. It also means that serious buyers need to be positioned well before a home appears publicly, because the demand for Cheviot Hills property consistently outpaces the supply.

When were Cheviot Hills homes built?

Every home in Cheviot Hills was built in 1997. The community was developed as a single project, which produces the architectural consistency and mature landscaping that defines the neighborhood today. Almost 30 years of tree growth on one-acre lots creates the canopy, privacy, and established character that new construction communities simply cannot replicate. Many Cheviot Hills homes have had kitchens, baths, roofs, and windows updated significantly in the intervening years, so the 1997 vintage belies the actual condition of the more recently renovated homes.

Does Cheviot Hills have a pool or community amenities?

Cheviot Hills does not have a community pool or clubhouse. The $10 to $12 per month HOA fee covers only common area maintenance. Homeowners build their own private amenities on one-acre-plus parcels. Screened porches with outdoor fireplaces, three and four-car garages, professional kitchen installations, and theater rooms appear across the community. Nearby Crockett Park, the Brentwood greenway system, and the Maryland Farms YMCA provide public recreational options for residents who want access to shared facilities.

Is Cheviot Hills a good fit for buyers who want an established estate community with maximum privacy?

Cheviot Hills is an exceptional fit for buyers who prioritize privacy, mature landscape character, no through traffic, one-acre lots, and a near-zero HOA fee in the Brentwood High school zone. The 16-home format means the community never feels busy. Buyers comparing Cheviot Hills against gated communities like Governors Club typically find that Cheviot Hills offers comparable or superior physical privacy without the golf club fees, the gate overhead, or the HOA governance that comes with larger amenity communities. For buyers who want a true private estate experience close to Brentwood’s commercial infrastructure, Cheviot Hills is among the strongest value propositions in Williamson County.

Who is the best real estate agent for Cheviot Hills in Brentwood, TN?

Patrick Higgins at Nashville Home Guru at Compass is a strong choice for Cheviot Hills buyers and sellers. Ranked number 1 in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, with 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales, Patrick’s Compass network was involved in 2 of the 3 Cheviot Hills closed sales in the trailing 12 months, representing 66.7% of the community’s transaction activity.

How does Nashville Home Guru approach a community where Compass represented most of the recent sales?

Compass’s presence on both the listing and selling sides of Cheviot Hills transactions reflects active network intelligence, not coincidence. Patrick tracks buyer demand, pre-market interest, and motivated sellers across all 16 homes in the community using RealTracs data and direct Compass network contacts. When a Cheviot Hills home becomes available, whether publicly or privately, the right buyers are already identified. That preparation is what produces a two-day under-contract result at $2,000,000 and zero-day listing-to-active results for well-positioned properties.

Can I buy a Cheviot Hills home before it hits Zillow?

In a 16-home community where the most recent home went under contract in two days, the answer is that you essentially must. Compass Private Exclusive allows Cheviot Hills sellers to share their home within the Compass buyer network before any public listing. Patrick also maintains direct outreach to homeowners in the community. If you are serious about buying in Cheviot Hills, the conversation with Patrick needs to happen before any listing appears publicly. Call or text 615-682-1718 to get positioned now.

What is my Cheviot Hills home worth in today’s market?

Cheviot Hills produced three closed sales in the trailing 12 months with a range of $1,500,000 to $1,925,000, and a home is currently under contract at $2,000,000. That data set is meaningful for a 16-home community but still thin enough that your specific home’s renovation level, floor plan size, lot position, and current market timing all materially affect value. Automated tools cannot weight those factors accurately. Start with an instant estimate at nashvillehomeguru.hifello.com, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a full analysis of your specific property’s position in the current market.

How does Cheviot Hills compare to Governors Club and other southwest Brentwood luxury communities?

Governors Club offers a private golf course, gated entry, and community amenities, but carries HOA fees that run hundreds of dollars per month and a larger community size that reduces the sense of exclusivity. Witherspoon and Annandale are gated with higher HOA structures and smaller lots. Beech Tree offers larger parcels at higher prices. Cheviot Hills sits in a specific position that none of those communities can replicate: 16 homes, near-zero HOA at $150 per year, one-acre-plus lots, mature 1997 construction, no through traffic, Brentwood High school zoning, and recent sales volume that confirms active buyer demand in the $1.5M to $2M range.
