Fox Camp Retreat

MURFREESBORO’S NEW CONSTRUCTION NATURE COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Fox Camp Retreat is a brand-new residential community in southeast Murfreesboro, situated just off Bradyville Pike near Dilton Mankin Road in Rutherford County. The zip code is 37127, which sits outside Murfreesboro city limits, meaning buyers here pay no city property taxes, only county taxes. That distinction adds real dollars back to homeowners’ pockets every year.

The setting is genuinely different from most Murfreesboro subdivisions. The community is deliberately positioned around protected wetlands and large natural ponds, with a nature trail winding through and around the neighborhood. If you have spent any time looking at new construction in Rutherford County, you know that this kind of natural buffer is rare. Most new subdivisions push homes to the lot line. Fox Camp Retreat is designed around the landscape, not despite it.

Day-to-day, the location works well for commuters. Interstate 24 is accessible nearby, connecting residents to downtown Nashville in roughly 40-45 minutes under normal conditions, and to Smyrna and La Vergne in under 15. Murfreesboro’s retail corridor along Medical Center Parkway and Middle Tennessee Boulevard is within a short drive. The area around Bradyville Pike has seen significant residential growth over the past decade, and Fox Camp Retreat is among the newest additions to that corridor.

The Homes

Fox Camp Retreat is built exclusively by Williams Construction, a locally based builder based out of Middle Tennessee. Williams Construction is not a national production builder. They operate on a smaller scale, which typically translates into more direct communication with the builder, more flexibility on finishes, and closer attention to craftsmanship. Their Fox Camp Retreat page describes the community as a neighborhood designed with nature in mind, and the MLS listings confirm that the first homes are actively hitting the market in 2025.

Current homes in Fox Camp Retreat range from approximately 2,000 to 2,400 square feet and are built on lots of roughly 10,000 square feet. Floor plans include both two-story and one-and-a-half-story configurations, all with 3 bedrooms and 2 to 3.5 bathrooms. Every home comes with a 2-car side-entry garage, which gives the streetscape a cleaner look compared to front-load garages. Plans currently available or under construction include the Willow Plan and the Bradshaw Plan, both described as masonry homes.

Exterior construction uses a mix of full brick, partial brick, stone, vinyl siding, fiber cement, and hardboard depending on the plan. Interiors feature granite countertops, open-concept floor plans, LVP and luxury vinyl plank flooring, carpet in bedrooms, and stainless steel appliances. Some plans include a tile shower in the primary suite. Covered porches are standard on most plans. The homes come with central heat and air, 2-car attached garages, and composition shingle roofs.

Lot sizes are running approximately 10,000 square feet, and the community benefits from underground utilities. Sidewalks and walking trails are part of the infrastructure, with at least one lot adjacent to a park. Priced from the mid-$500s, these homes sit at a competitive entry point for new construction masonry homes in Murfreesboro.

Amenities

Fox Camp Retreat’s standout amenity is its natural setting. The community is surrounded by protected wetlands and large ponds, with a dedicated nature trail running through the neighborhood. A community pavilion is included in the plans, and underground utilities keep the streetscape clean. Sidewalks run throughout the community, which adds a walkable, connected feel even within a quieter suburban environment.

For daily errands and recreation, residents have good access to the broader Murfreesboro area. The Stones River Greenway system offers miles of paved trails for cyclists and runners. Murfreesboro’s Gateway Island and the MTSU campus area offer parks, dining, and entertainment options a short drive away. Old Fort Park, one of the largest parks in Rutherford County, is accessible for sports fields, disc golf, and open recreation.

Grocery, retail, and dining along Medical Center Parkway, Middle Tennessee Boulevard, and Broad Street are all within reasonable driving distance. The Murfreesboro area also has multiple hospital systems nearby, including Saint Thomas Rutherford and MTMC, which matters for both healthcare access and employment.

Schools

Fox Camp Retreat is located in Rutherford County, and all four active MLS listings confirm enrollment in Rutherford County Schools, not Murfreesboro City Schools. This is an important distinction. Rutherford County Schools and Murfreesboro City Schools are separate systems, and the schools serving Fox Camp Retreat are the county schools.

Based on current MLS data, students in Fox Camp Retreat are zoned for Buchanan Elementary School, Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School, and Riverdale High School. Buyers should always verify current school zoning directly with Rutherford County Schools, as attendance zones can change. Contact the district at (615) 893-5812 or visit rcschools.net to confirm enrollment for a specific address.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

Fox Camp Retreat is a brand-new community with no public track record of closed sales yet. That is precisely the situation where having an experienced buyer’s agent matters most. When you are negotiating with a builder directly, you are negotiating against their in-house sales team, whose job is to protect the builder’s margins. Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team have represented buyers in new construction transactions across Rutherford County, and know how to negotiate upgrades, close timing, and contract terms that builder contracts typically don’t volunteer.

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass, ranked the #1 real estate team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings. A six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, Patrick has completed over 1,100 transactions and more than $500 million in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee. That depth of experience in Rutherford County and the surrounding region gives buyers a meaningful advantage when evaluating a new community like Fox Camp Retreat against comparable options in the market.

Compass merged with Parks Real Estate in 2024, making Compass the dominant brokerage in Tennessee. Compass agents now represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold in the state, which means access to a broader network of coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and pre-market opportunities that buyers working with smaller local brokerages simply don’t see. As Fox Camp Retreat grows and more lots are released, being connected to that network could mean first access to the best lots and floor plans before they hit the open market.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume, which provides Nashville Home Guru clients with the largest referral network in real estate and access to tools and marketing that regional brokerages can’t match.

The Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy

If you own a home to sell before buying in Fox Camp Retreat, the Compass Three Phase Marketing Strategy gives sellers a meaningful edge in the Murfreesboro market:

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Your home is shown to a select audience of qualified buyers before any public listing. You test your price, gather real feedback, and generate early interest with no days on market accumulating and no price history visible to future buyers.

Phase 2 – Compass Coming Soon: Your listing goes live on Compass.com, one of the most visited real estate platforms in the country, before hitting the MLS. Buyers find your home without seeing days on market or prior price reductions.

Phase 3 – Public Launch: Your home goes live across the MLS and all third-party platforms simultaneously, with maximum demand already built from Phases 1 and 2. Compass data shows that pre-marketed homes sell for 2.9% more, go to contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price reduction.

Remote workers who need interstate access without being in a dense urban area will also find the location practical.
