McFarlin Woods

NOLENSVILLE’S ESTABLISHED LARGE-LOT COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in McFarlin Woods

McFarlin Woods sits in the heart of Nolensville, Tennessee, just off Kidd Road near the intersection of Rocky Fork Road and Nolensville Road. The neighborhood occupies a prime spot in zip code 37135 that most newer Nolensville subdivisions simply cannot match: it is within walking distance of downtown Nolensville and Nolensville Park, and it feeds directly into the town’s growing trail network.

Daily errands are easy here. The new Village Green shopping center with Publix opened just minutes away, and the original shops, restaurants, and services along Nolensville Road are accessible without getting on any major highway. Mill Creek Brewing Co., Amico’s Pizza, and the downtown Nolensville square are all reachable by bike on a good day.

Commuters have real options. Kidd Road provides a direct connection to Burkitt Road and I-24, making this neighborhood practical for anyone working in Brentwood, Antioch, or downtown Nashville. The location is one of the best arguments for McFarlin Woods in a market where newer subdivisions often require navigating several traffic lights just to reach the highway.

The mature tree canopy throughout the neighborhood is something you notice immediately. Most of these homes went up between 1997 and 2002, which means the oaks and maples on these lots have had 25-plus years to develop. It gives McFarlin Woods a character that newer developments simply cannot replicate.

The Homes

McFarlin Woods was developed in six sections across roughly five years, with most construction occurring between 1997 and 2002. The neighborhood is fully built out, meaning no new construction is coming and lot inventory is fixed. Homes range from about 1,800 to 3,600 square feet and sit on lots that are noticeably larger than most Nolensville subdivisions of the same era, with many parcels running half an acre or more.

Exterior styles lean toward traditional construction with a mix of all-brick, partial brick, and vinyl siding homes depending on the section. The earlier phases along Norfolk Lane tend to have the most variation in floor plans, while later sections closer to Piccadilly Drive include some of the larger homes in the community. Lot sizes on Cowan Drive and Mer Rouge Drive can push toward 0.6 acres, which is genuinely hard to find this close to downtown Nolensville.

Interior features vary by vintage and any updates the current owner has made. Most homes include hardwood or finished wood flooring on main levels, gas fireplaces, attached garages, and bonus rooms or flex spaces on upper levels. Some floor plans were designed as single-level ranch homes, which is a real differentiator for buyers who want main-floor primary suites without the premium pricing of purpose-built single-story new construction.

The neighborhood spans four recorded sections: McFarlin Woods Sec 1 through Sec 6. Homes on streets like Norfolk Lane, Walpole Court, and Mer Rouge Drive represent different sections with slightly different architectural character. Buyers should note that lot sizes and home footprints vary meaningfully from one street to the next, so a street-level comparison is worthwhile before making offers.

One thing worth flagging on these numbers: the $250,500 spread between the lowest and highest sale reflects real variation in home size and lot. The lower end of the range reflects smaller 1,800 to 2,100 square foot homes on the older streets, while the upper end represents larger 2,700 to 3,500 square foot homes on oversized lots. Price per square foot tells a more consistent story, holding between $215 and $300 across all six closed sales.

Amenities

McFarlin Woods takes a low-HOA approach. Dues run approximately $60 per quarter, or $240 per year, which is among the most affordable fee structures you will find in any Williamson County neighborhood. There is no community pool, clubhouse, or fitness center to maintain, which is exactly why the fees stay low. For families who prefer to use the town’s public amenities rather than pay for private ones, this is a real advantage.

The neighborhood connects directly to Nolensville Park, which sits adjacent to the community. The park includes athletic fields, picnic areas, and greenspace that residents access without getting in a car. This is one of the few Nolensville neighborhoods where a public park is genuinely walkable from most front doors.

The broader Nolensville trail system is also accessible from McFarlin Woods. Trail connections run through and around the neighborhood toward Gregory Park and the school campuses, giving residents a way to reach multiple destinations on foot or by bike. For a neighborhood developed in the late 1990s, the trail access feels surprisingly current.

Downtown Nolensville, with its restaurants, coffee shops, and local businesses, is close enough that residents frequently walk or bike for evening outings. The combination of low HOA dues, a public park at the doorstep, and trail connectivity makes McFarlin Woods an outlier compared to neighborhoods that charge $800 to $1,500 per year for pool access.
