Cottonport Plantation

BRENTWOOD’S ESTABLISHED ESTATE COMMUNITY OFF CLOVERLAND DRIVE

Location and Daily Life

Cottonport Plantation sits in one of Brentwood‘s most convenient locations, offering quick access to I-65 via Exit 74 (Old Hickory Boulevard) while maintaining a peaceful, established neighborhood feel. The community is located off Cloverland Drive in the 37027 zip code, putting residents just minutes from Maryland Farms, Cool Springs, and downtown Nashville.

This is a neighborhood with actual history. The name “Cottonport” dates back to 1810 when John Frost from South Carolina purchased the original Mayfield Station property. By 1829, a general store, gristmill, and post office had formed a small business center here. Radnor Homes (now Pulte) developed the modern subdivision between 1988 and 1994, preserving that historical connection through street names like Mayfield Station and Cotton Gin Court.

One important detail that surprises many buyers: Cottonport Plantation straddles two counties. Of the 162 homes, 151 are in Davidson County and 11 are in Williamson County. This affects property taxes, vehicle registration, and school zoning. The Williamson County homes, located primarily on Grist Mill Court, have larger lots (up to an acre) and are zoned for Williamson County Schools.

Streets in the neighborhood include Beech Tree Lane, Clear Spring Court, Cotton Gin Court, Cottonport Drive, Grist Mill Court, Herbert Court, Mayfield Station, Old Thrasher Court, S Lane Court, and Settlement Court.

The Homes

Radnor Homes built Cottonport Plantation with classical architecture that has aged well. The brick and stucco exteriors feature traditional details like projecting gabled entrances, pedimented entries, Palladian windows, dormers, quoins, and keystones. These design elements give the neighborhood a stately, timeless appearance that distinguishes it from more generic subdivisions.

Homes range from 2,033 to nearly 5,000 square feet across one and two-story floor plans. Most feature 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2.5 to 7 bathrooms. Interior layouts typically include formal central halls with open concepts in the kitchen and family room areas. Many homes have fireplaces, hardwood flooring on main levels, and generous storage.

Lot sizes vary significantly depending on location. Davidson County homes typically sit on one-third to one-half acre lots, while the Williamson County homes on Grist Mill Court offer larger sites up to a full acre. Most homes have 2-car garages, though some of the larger properties include 3 or 4-car capacity.

The 30+ year age of these homes means you will find varying levels of updates. Some have been extensively renovated with modern kitchens, updated bathrooms, and new systems. Others present opportunities to customize to your preferences. The wide price-per-square-foot range ($180 to $363) reflects this condition variance: updated homes sell at the higher end of that range, while homes needing work trade at a discount.

Schools

School zoning in Cottonport Plantation depends entirely on which county your home is in. This is one of the most important details for buyers to verify before making an offer.

Davidson County (151 of 162 homes): Homes in the Davidson County portion of Cottonport Plantation are zoned for Metro Nashville Public Schools. The assigned schools are Granbery Elementary School, William Henry Oliver Middle School, and John Overton Comprehensive High School.

Williamson County (11 homes on Grist Mill Court): Homes on Grist Mill Court are in Williamson County and zoned for Williamson County Schools. The assigned schools are Lipscomb Elementary School, Brentwood Middle School, and Brentwood High School. Williamson County Schools is consistently ranked among the top school districts in Tennessee, and this zoning difference contributes to the pricing premium on Grist Mill Court properties.

If school zoning is a priority for your family, confirm the county and school assignments for the specific address before proceeding. Patrick’s team can verify this for any Cottonport Plantation property. Call or text 615-682-1718.

Why is Cottonport Plantation in two different counties?

The county line between Davidson and Williamson runs through the neighborhood. Most homes (151) are in Davidson County, while 11 homes on Grist Mill Court are in Williamson County. This affects property taxes, vehicle registration, and school zoning. Williamson County homes carry a pricing premium due to access to Williamson County Schools and typically larger lot sizes (up to a full acre).

Is Cottonport Plantation a good fit for families looking for Brentwood schools at an accessible price point?

For buyers who want the Williamson County Schools zone (Lipscomb Elementary, Brentwood Middle, Brentwood High), Cottonport Plantation offers 11 homes on Grist Mill Court with lots up to a full acre. These properties have sold above $1.2M, which represents a lower entry point than many of Brentwood’s newer gated communities where comparable lot sizes and WCS zoning command significantly higher prices. The trade-off is the 30+ year age of the homes, but buyers willing to invest in updates get Brentwood’s top-rated schools on larger lots. For buyers primarily focused on value and location without the WCS requirement, the Davidson County homes in Cottonport offer the 37027 address, community amenities, and I-65 access from $610,000.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Cottonport Plantation?

Cottonport Plantation requires nuanced pricing because the community spans two counties, two school districts, and homes in widely varying conditions after 30+ years. The average price per square foot ranges from $180 to $363 within the same neighborhood, which means comparable sales analysis is more complex than in newer, homogeneous communities. Patrick’s team tracks the condition premium, the Williamson County lot premium, and the renovation ROI across different sections.
