Montpier Farms

FRANKLIN’S PREMIER ESTATE-LOT COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Montpier Farms

Montpier Farms sits off Old Hillsboro Road in the 37069 zip code of Franklin, Tennessee, positioned between Hillsboro Road and Highway 96 in one of the most desirable corridors in Williamson County. This is not a gated community with a guard station. It’s a quiet collection of roughly 55 homes on estate-sized lots, tucked into rolling hills and mature hardwoods where the only thing separating you from your neighbor is an acre or two of land.

The location puts you within a few minutes of the Grassland area, which means easy access to Publix, restaurants, and daily errands without fighting the congestion around Cool Springs. Downtown Franklin’s Main Street is about a 15-minute drive south. Nashville is roughly 25 minutes north via Hillsboro Road or Highway 96 to I-65.

Streets within Montpier Farms include Dickinson Lane, Montpier Drive, Murray Creek, Natchez Road, Perkins Lane, and Kiln Hill Court. The subdivision is divided into multiple sections (Sections 4, 5, and 6 are reflected in MLS records), each developed at slightly different times as the community grew organically from the early 1970s through the mid-2000s.

What draws buyers here is the combination of acreage, privacy, and proximity. You’re close enough to Franklin and Nashville for work and entertainment, but far enough removed that your evening view is treeline and sky rather than rooftops. Several properties border creeks and wooded areas, and the terrain offers the rolling topography that makes this part of Williamson County so visually distinctive.

The Homes

Montpier Farms homes were originally built in the mid-1970s, with the majority constructed between 1974 and 1978. The community continued to see some development through the 2000s. These are not cookie-cutter production homes. Most were custom-built or semi-custom, resulting in a mix of architectural styles ranging from traditional ranch and split-foyer layouts to renovated contemporary designs.

Home sizes in recent sales range from approximately 2,000 to 4,500+ square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 4 full bathrooms. Many original homes have been extensively renovated over the years, with owners adding modern kitchens, updated bathrooms, hardwood flooring, vaulted ceilings, and stone fireplaces. Some properties include additional structures like guest houses, studios, or ADUs (accessory dwelling units).

The real story in Montpier Farms is the land. Lots range from 1.5 to over 3 acres, with several properties exceeding 2 acres. This kind of acreage is increasingly rare in Franklin, and it’s a major factor driving the community’s appeal. The larger lots allow for swimming pools, outdoor kitchens, gardens, and in some cases, enough space for horses, chickens, and other small livestock.

Construction types include wood siding, brick, and various combinations. Foundation types vary between crawl space, slab, and basement depending on the specific lot and topography. Most homes feature attached 2-car garages, though some larger renovated properties have expanded garage capacity.

There is no HOA in Montpier Farms, which means no architectural review board, no annual dues, and no restrictions on exterior modifications beyond standard county building codes. For buyers who value autonomy over their property, this is a significant draw.

Montpier Farms Market Data (Past 12 Months)

Data from RealTracs MLS. Updated February 2026.

The wide price per square foot range ($365 to $681) reflects the diversity of condition and renovation level across the community. Homes that have been fully renovated with high-end finishes command significantly higher per-square-foot prices than original-condition properties. Half of the closed sales in the past 12 months sold at full asking price, while others sold below list, indicating that pricing strategy matters significantly in this market.

Amenities

Montpier Farms does not have a community pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, or organized HOA amenities. That’s by design. This is a community where the amenity is the land itself.

With lots ranging from 1.5 to 3+ acres, homeowners have the space to create their own outdoor living environments. Several properties in the neighborhood feature private swimming pools, outdoor kitchens, extensive gardens, and workshop buildings. At least one property includes a greenhouse and separate studio space. The wooded, rolling terrain provides natural beauty that many planned communities try to replicate with manicured landscaping.

The area surrounding Montpier Farms offers strong recreational options. Harlinsdale Farm, a 200-acre public park in Franklin, is a short drive away and features walking trails, equestrian facilities, and hosts the Pilgrimage Music Festival. The nearby Natchez Trace Parkway provides miles of scenic driving, cycling, and hiking. Grassland Park and other Williamson County parks are easily accessible.

The absence of an HOA means zero annual dues and complete freedom over your property. You can renovate, add structures, keep animals, or customize your outdoor space without needing architectural review approval. For buyers coming from HOA-heavy communities, this is a significant change of pace.
