Last Plantation

GALLATIN’S LAKE AND GOLF ESTATE COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life

Last Plantation sits along the southwestern shore of Old Hickory Lake in Gallatin, Tennessee 37066, about 30 miles northeast of downtown Nashville. The community stretches across Isaac Franklin Drive, Plantation Boulevard, and Plantation Way, occupying some of the most coveted real estate in all of Sumner County. When residents say they live at Last Plantation, they mean something specific: a golf-and-lake lifestyle that does not exist anywhere else this close to Nashville.

The neighborhood is part of the larger Fairvue Plantation master-planned community, which takes its name from the historic 1832 antebellum estate originally built by Isaac Franklin. That history still shows in the architecture and streetscapes. Brick sidewalks, rear-entry garages on many lots, and plantation-style home designs create an atmosphere that feels more like a resort town than a suburban subdivision. The main entrance off US-31E puts Gallatin’s downtown square about 10 minutes away, and Interstate 65 is roughly 20 minutes out.

Day-to-day errands are covered by the Gallatin retail corridor along Nashville Pike and Long Hollow Pike, where you will find Costco, Target, Kroger, and a solid mix of dining options. Sumner Regional Medical Center is about five minutes from the community gates. For residents who work in Nashville, the commute runs roughly 40 to 50 minutes depending on traffic on Gallatin Road.

The Homes

Last Plantation is not one neighborhood. It is a collection of distinct phases within the Fairvue Plantation master plan, each with its own price point, lot position, and HOA structure. Understanding which section you are buying into matters significantly here.

Phases 1 through 5 consist primarily of brick and all-brick construction on lots ranging from about 0.15 to 0.75 acres. Homes run from roughly 2,300 to over 6,700 square feet, with most offering 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 5 baths. Architectural styles lean toward traditional and plantation-influenced designs with covered porches, formal dining rooms, and primary suites on the main level in many floor plans. Phase 1 sits directly on Old Hickory Lake with several homes offering private dock access, and those properties are the crown jewels of the entire development, commanding prices well above $1 million.

The Cottages at Last Plantation is a separate 55-plus community within the broader Last Plantation footprint, located along the South Browns Lane address cluster. These are one-level garden condominiums with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, built in 2007. The HOA covers exterior upkeep, grounds maintenance, pool, and common area facilities, making these units attractive for buyers who want resort-area living without maintenance obligations.

New construction is active in Phase 5 along Isaac Franklin Drive. Phillips Builders, a Middle Tennessee builder operating since 1952, completed a 2,995-square-foot, 5-bed/4.5-bath home in 2026, reflecting continued demand for high-end finishes and open-concept layouts at this address.

Amenities

Last Plantation is embedded within the Tennessee Grasslands Golf and Country Club community, which is the only combined lake-and-golf master-planned community in the Nashville metro area. Residents have access to two 18-hole championship golf courses: the Lakes Course and the Foxland Course, both designed around the contours of Old Hickory Lake. Golf memberships at TN Grasslands are available separately from the HOA fee, with social memberships available for non-golfers who still want access to the clubhouse, dining, and pool facilities.

The community’s 20,000-square-foot clubhouse includes fine dining with lake views, casual poolside dining, a pro shop, and full locker facilities. The fitness center is inside the clubhouse. The junior Olympic-size swimming pool overlooks Old Hickory Lake, making it one of the more scenic pool settings in Middle Tennessee. The club also maintains a driving range and walking trails along the lake.

For residents in Phase 1 with lakefront lots, private dock access on Old Hickory Lake is the standout amenity. The lake covers approximately 18,000 acres, and the Gallatin Marina is just outside the community entrance with fuel, boat storage, and a waterfront restaurant. Bledsoe Creek State Park, with six miles of hiking trails along the lake, is a short drive north.

The Cottages at Last Plantation maintains its own community pool, clubhouse, and fitness center within the 55-plus section. HOA dues in the Cottages cover exterior maintenance, grounds upkeep, insurance, pool and clubhouse maintenance, pest control, trash, and sewer.

Schools

Homes in Last Plantation Phases 1 through 5 are zoned for Jack Anderson Elementary School, Station Camp Middle School, and Station Camp High School, all part of Sumner County Schools. Station Camp High draws from several of Sumner County’s newer residential communities and is well-regarded across the district.

Some sections of the Cottages at Last Plantation may be zoned differently. Always verify current school zoning directly with Sumner County Schools before purchasing, as boundary lines can shift between calendar years.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

Last Plantation is one of Gallatin’s most layered communities to buy or sell in. You have different HOA structures across phases, lakefront versus golf-course-adjacent versus interior lots, active new construction in Phase 5, and a price range stretching from $620,000 to over $2.5 million. Getting the positioning right requires actual data analysis, not guesswork from a map.

Over the past 12 months, Compass and Parks agents represented 14.3% of Last Plantation transactions on either the listing or selling side. That share matters because it reflects the direct network Patrick and his team bring to this community. While simpliHOM and Crye-Leike dominate local transaction volume, Compass brings a national pool of high-net-worth buyers through private exclusives and coming-soon marketing, which is exactly what Last Plantation’s upper-end inventory requires. Patrick Higgins is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, ranked the number one team in Nashville and number seven in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings, with more than 1,100 transactions and $500 million in career sales across Middle Tennessee. Clients consistently point to his 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews as proof of consistent execution.

Compass merged with Parks Real Estate in 2024 and is now the number one residential brokerage in the United States by sales volume, representing approximately one in four homes sold in Tennessee. For a buyer, that means access to pre-market inventory through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs. For a seller at $1 million or above, that national reach is the difference between finding the right buyer quickly and sitting on the market.

Ryan Beals, a Hendersonville native and current Gallatin resident, is the team’s Sumner County specialist. Ryan brings five years of sales and recruiting experience to every transaction and knows this specific area of Gallatin well.

The remainder of Last Plantation, including Phases 1 through 5 along Isaac Franklin Drive, Plantation Boulevard, and Plantation Way, is an all-ages community with no age restriction.

TN Grasslands operates two 18-hole championship courses, the Lakes Course and the Foxland Course, both designed around Old Hickory Lake.

Is Last Plantation a good fit for retirees or buyers relocating from out of state?

It is one of the strongest retirement-oriented options in Middle Tennessee and it works on two levels. The Cottages at Last Plantation is purpose-built for low-maintenance 55-plus living: single-story floor plans, two-car garages, and an HOA that covers exterior upkeep. For buyers who want more space and are active golfers or boaters, the standard phases offer golf-course views, lake access in Phase 1, and all the resort amenities of TN Grasslands. With a median close price of $1,030,000 and Tennessee’s absence of a state income tax on retirement income, Last Plantation draws consistent relocation interest from buyers leaving California, Florida, and the Northeast.

How does Patrick Higgins approach selling a home in Last Plantation?

Patrick’s starting point is always the data. In Last Plantation, the closed sales data shows a $620,000 to $2,525,000 range across phases, which means pricing without a phase-specific analysis leads to significant mispricing in either direction. Patrick builds his pricing strategy from actual per-phase comps, adjusts for lot position, lake access, and finish level, then layers in Compass’s pre-market marketing to generate buyer interest before the listing goes active. For sellers in Phase 1, the buyer pool is often national, not local, which is why Compass’s reach across 45 states matters more here than in a typical Gallatin community. Call Patrick at 615-682-1718 to walk through the numbers for your specific property.

What is my Last Plantation home worth in today’s market?

Automated tools like Zillow’s Zestimate consistently underperform in Last Plantation because of the dramatic value difference between phases, lot positions, and lake access. A Phase 2 interior home and a Phase 1 lakefront estate on the same street can differ by over $1.5 million, and no algorithm accounts for that granularity reliably. A meaningful valuation requires direct comparison to closed sales in your specific phase, adjusted for finish level, lot orientation, and current buyer demand.
