Cottonport Plantation

BRENTWOOD’S ESTABLISHED ESTATE COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Cottonport Plantation

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, 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 to 5.5 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.
