Lynnwood Downs

FRANKLIN’S PREMIER GATED EQUESTRIAN COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Lynnwood Downs

Lynnwood Downs is one of the most exclusive addresses in Williamson County. This gated equestrian community of approximately 40 custom estates sits on rolling hillsides north of Franklin, offering panoramic valley views and the kind of privacy that rarely comes on the market.

The location is surprisingly convenient for such a secluded property. The I-65 Moore’s Lane exit is just minutes away, putting Cool Springs Galleria, Costco, and top medical providers within a 10-minute drive. Historic downtown Franklin is equally accessible. Moore’s Lane becomes Lynnwood Way after crossing Franklin Road, and a left onto South Berry’s Chapel Road leads directly to the community’s gated entrance.

What sets Lynnwood Downs apart from other luxury communities is its commitment to the equestrian lifestyle. This is not a neighborhood where horses are an afterthought. The HOA maintains a 40-acre community pasture, a magnificent barn with stalls, an indoor riding arena, an outdoor arena, paddocks, and stocked ponds. Each homeowner has access to two horse stalls as part of their HOA membership, with classic four-plank fencing maintained throughout the community.

Homes here rarely trade hands. When they do, it is typically because life circumstances require a change, not because anyone wants to leave. The combination of acreage, privacy, equestrian amenities, and proximity to Cool Springs and Franklin creates a lifestyle that is genuinely difficult to replicate elsewhere in Middle Tennessee.

The Homes

Lynnwood Downs features custom-built luxury estates on 5 to 7+ acre lots. There was no single builder here. Each home was designed and constructed individually, resulting in a diverse collection of architectural styles ranging from traditional brick estates to stone English country manors.

Homes in Lynnwood Downs typically range from 5,000 to over 10,000 square feet. Most were built between the mid-1980s and late 1990s, though many have undergone extensive renovations in recent years. Common features include grand foyers, chef’s kitchens with high-end appliances, primary suites with spa-like bathrooms, home theaters, wine cellars, and multiple outdoor living areas with views of the surrounding hills and pastures.

The topography varies throughout the community. Some homesites offer elevated positions with sweeping valley views, while others are more privately tucked into wooded areas. Several properties include private pools, and the generous lot sizes provide ample space for those who want to keep horses on their own property in addition to using the community facilities.

Construction quality reflects the luxury price point. You will find all-brick and stone exteriors, extensive millwork throughout interiors, elevator service in some homes, and the kind of detailed craftsmanship that custom builders delivered in this era. Many homes feature multiple fireplaces, heated floors in bathrooms, steam showers, and home automation systems.

Equestrian Amenities

Lynnwood Downs was designed from the ground up for horse owners. The equestrian amenities here are not an afterthought or a marketing bullet point. They are a functioning, maintained infrastructure that supports an active horse community.

The centerpiece is a 40-acre community pasture that provides ample grazing space for residents’ horses. The HOA allocates two horse stalls to each homeowner as part of their membership, housed in a well-maintained community barn. An indoor riding arena allows for year-round riding regardless of weather, while an outdoor arena provides additional training and exercise space.

Paddocks, dry lots, and stocked ponds round out the equestrian facilities. The classic four-plank fencing throughout the community is maintained by the HOA, ensuring a consistent, professional appearance. A maximum of two horses per property is allowed, keeping the community manageable while still supporting the equestrian lifestyle.

Walking and riding trails wind through the community, connecting to the pastures and natural areas. This is one of the few Franklin communities where you can ride from your property to community facilities without trailering your horses.

Community Amenities

Beyond the equestrian facilities, Lynnwood Downs offers a full complement of community amenities. A clubhouse provides space for community gatherings and private events. The community pool offers a resort-like retreat during Middle Tennessee’s warm months.

Tennis courts and a basketball court provide additional recreational options. A playground serves families with young children. The community also features stocked ponds for fishing and scenic walking trails throughout the property.

The gated entrance provides security and privacy that residents of Lynnwood Downs value highly. Twice-weekly trash pickup is included in the HOA fees, adding to the convenience of daily life.

HOA fees run approximately $500 per month, which covers maintenance of all community facilities including the equestrian infrastructure, grounds maintenance, the pool, clubhouse, courts, and trash service. For an equestrian community of this caliber, this represents strong value compared to boarding horses at a private facility.
