The Smallest Homes in Nolen Mill Cost the Most Per Foot

Ten homes closed in Nolen Mill over the past twelve months, and they are not one product. They are two, and the two are priced backwards from what most owners expect.

Seven of the ten are attached, by the property type recorded on the filings: six townhouses and one zero-lot-line cottage. They sold from $487,400 to $560,000, with a median of $525,000 on a median of 1,468 square feet, or about $332 a square foot. The other three are detached, site-built homes. Their median is $915,000 on a median of 3,450 square feet, about $289 a foot, and the top of that group, 141 Madison Mill Dr at $1,085,000 and 3,750 square feet, is the largest sale in the record. The four smallest attached homes, one-story cottages of about 1,466 square feet, closed at roughly $350 a foot, about $85 a foot above the two Madison Mill Dr homes.

The top of the per-foot range in this community, $358.12, is also the top of the range for the whole 37135 zip, and it belongs to 841 Cottage House Ln, a one-story cottage. The bottom, $261.27, belongs to 802 Cottage House Ln, the largest home on that street at 2,086 square feet. The whole per-foot spread of the community sits on one street.

The dues record almost matches the product split, but not quite. Exterior maintenance is included in the association fee on 8 of the 10 sales and left out on 2, against 7 attached and 3 detached in the property type field. Either one detached filing carries exterior maintenance in its dues, or one of the two fields is off on one home. Read both fields on the specific listing. Everything below on price, dues and pace should be read on the correct side of the attached-and-detached line.

If you own an attached cottage, do not price off the detached house around the corner. If you own the detached house, do not expect the cottage per-foot number.

The attached row runs from $487,400 to $560,000 and from 1,450 to 2,086 square feet. Its core is the four one-story cottages at about 1,466 square feet with two bedrooms as the norm, and it also holds the Celebration end unit on Weybridge Drive at 1,914 square feet and the largest home on Cottage House Ln at 2,086. The detached row is narrow in count and wide in price. Its two Madison Mill Dr sales closed at $915,000 and $1,085,000 on 3,450 and 3,750 square feet, at $265 and $289 a foot; the third detached sale closed in the $500,000s at under 1,900 square feet, and its exact figures are recorded on that filing.

One warning on reading the record. The story-count split, four one-story, two story-and-a-half and four two-story, does not line up with the attached-and-detached split, because the attached seven include one-story, story-and-a-half and two-story plans, so read the property type field on the listing, not the story count, to know which product you are looking at.

Cut the same ten homes by size instead of property type and the picture sharpens. The smallest third sells for about $350 a foot, the middle third about $293, the largest third about $265. The per-foot number falls every step up in size. That is the cleanest inverse ladder in any Nolensville community this small, and it is why a per-foot comp from the wrong product is off by a quarter here.

Before you write an offer or a listing price, sort the comps by product first and by date second.

Nolen Mill Homes for Sale

Recently Sold in Nolen Mill

Half Sold in Zero Days. Half Cut and Waited.

Ten sales split exactly down the middle on price. Five closed at precisely the original asking number. Five closed below it. None closed above.

The five that held went under contract in a median of zero days. That is the opening number being right, and in several cases a buyer in hand before the listing was public. The five that cut sold at 96.66 percent of the original ask after a median of 65 days to contract. A reduction in Nolen Mill has cost 3.3 points and about two months, every time.

The largest cut was 141 Madison Mill Dr, opened at $1,199,000 and closed at $1,085,000, $114,000 under the opening number, after 113 days. The cottages that cut were smaller misses: 404 Lively Way came down $17,000 over 82 days, and 639 Weybridge Dr came down $14,000 over 65 days. Across all ten the median is 10 days to contract, against a zip median of 21.

Read this as a seller and the instruction is plain. Buyers here paid the number or waited for it to move. They did not bid it up. Open at the figure you will hold, because in this record there was no second chance at full price.

HOA Dues, What They Cover, and the Rental Policy

Every one of the ten filings bills monthly. Annualized, dues run from $1,080 to $3,840, and the median is $3,840. Phase 2’s four sales all pay $3,840 a year. Phase 1’s six range from $1,080 to $3,840 with a median of $3,540.

The $3,840 figure is the attached figure, and it covers work. Grounds maintenance is in the dues on all 10 sales, exterior maintenance on 8, and insurance on 6. The $1,080 floor sits where exterior maintenance drops out, which is what a detached owner should expect to pay for grounds and common areas alone. The counts do not close: exterior maintenance on 8 filings against 7 attached homes, so at least one filing recorded as detached carries it. The sheet does not pair each dues figure with each address, so confirm the number on the specific home before you compare it with a community that quotes a monthly figure.

The amenity record on the ten filings lists underground utilities on 7, a walking trail on 7, sidewalks on 7, a dog park on 6 and a park on 1. No filing records tennis in either the amenity field or the fee field, against 32 of 480 sales in the zip that do. No pool is recorded either.

On rentals, the policy field reads Long-Term Allowed on 6 of the 10 filings and is blank on the other 4. No filing records a restriction. A blank field is not permission, so if you are buying a cottage to lease it, get the recorded declaration and the current leasing rule from the association before you go under contract. The attached product across the zip is covered on the Nolensville condos and townhomes page, where Nolen Mill’s Cottage House Ln townhomes post the highest per-foot figure in 37135.

Is Nolen Mill Age-Restricted? What the Record Shows

The MLS community amenity field records a 55-and-up designation on 8 of the 10 sales, and the one builder remark in the record describes an end-unit townhome in a community of that type. Two of the ten filings do not carry the designation.

That is the listing record. It is not the association’s declaration, and the declaration is the document that governs. If you are buying a cottage, get the recorded covenants and the association’s age-verification policy in writing before you sign, and ask specifically whether the rule applies to every section or only to the cottage sections. If you are selling, know that the buyer pool for the cottages is defined by that document and not by the listing, so price and market to the pool that can actually close.

Builder, Floor Plans and Lots

Celebration Homes is named in the remarks on one of the ten filings, a Phase 1 end-unit townhome on Weybridge Drive. No other builder name appears anywhere in the record, so no other builder is named here.

Named floor plans or model references appear on 7 of the 10 filings. That is a plan book, and a plan book means a production product, not a custom one. Comps inside Nolen Mill are unusually clean for that reason: the same plan has closed more than once, and pricing against the same plan is far tighter than pricing against square footage.

Lots were recorded on all ten sales and run from 0.09 to 0.52 acres, with a median of 0.09. The cottages are on the 0.09 lots. Every home closed with a two-car garage. Construction dates run 2018 to 2020, so the community is fully delivered and every sale here is a resale, with a resale’s inspection and a resale’s negotiation.

If you are buying, ask which plan the home is and pull its last closing in the community before you decide on price.

Schools Serving Nolen Mill

All ten sales are in Williamson County. The figures below are the assignments recorded on the ten closed sales, not a judgment about any school.

Elementary is unanimous: Sunset Elementary School on all 10. High school is unanimous: Nolensville High School on all 10. Middle school is not. Mill Creek Middle School is recorded on 6 filings and Sunset Middle School on 4.

Assignment goes by street address, and districts do rezone. If the middle school matters to your decision, confirm the specific address with Williamson County Schools before you rely on it.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru in Nolen Mill

A Compass, Parks or Pilkerton agent was involved in 3 of the 10 Nolen Mill closings over the past twelve months, or 30 percent. One of those was on the listing side. Two were on the buying side.

Patrick Higgins is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and leads the number one team in Nashville, with 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales across Middle Tennessee. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews behind that record, the work in a community like this one is specific: pricing a cottage off the cottage record rather than the community median, and opening at a number that holds, because this record shows no path back to full price once a listing cuts.

Compass is the largest residential brokerage in the United States by sales volume, and following the 2024 merger with Parks Real Estate, Compass agents are involved in roughly one in four homes sold in Tennessee. That footprint is what surfaces Private Exclusive and Coming Soon inventory before it reaches the public portals, and in a community where half the sales went under contract in zero days, that is where the buyer in hand comes from.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy is measurable: homes pre-marketed through Private Exclusive and Coming Soon sell for 2.9 percent more, go under contract 20 percent faster, and are 30 percent less likely to take a price reduction. More on that at selling your home on your terms. For the price picture across all of 37135, see the Nolensville home prices page.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nolen Mill

How much does a home in Nolen Mill cost?

Over the past twelve months, ten homes closed from $487,400 to $1,085,000, with a median of $536,500. The median is an attached number. The seven attached homes, six townhouses and a zero-lot-line cottage, closed from $487,400 to $560,000 with a median of $525,000. The three detached homes have a median of $915,000, and the largest sale in the record was $1,085,000. Ask which product you are pricing before you use any single figure.

Are the Nolen Mill cottages age-restricted?

The MLS record carries a 55-and-up designation on 8 of the 10 recent sales, and one listing remark describes the community that way. The record does not contain the association’s declaration, and two filings do not carry the designation at all. Get the recorded covenants and the age-verification policy from the association before you contract, and ask whether the rule covers every section or only the cottages.

Can I rent out a home in Nolen Mill?

Six of the ten filings record long-term rentals as allowed. The other four are blank, and no filing records a restriction. Blank is not a yes. Confirm the current leasing rule in the declaration before buying as an investment, and ask whether there is a minimum lease term or a cap on the number of leased homes.

What are the HOA dues in Nolen Mill and what do they cover?

Every filing bills monthly. Annualized, dues run $1,080 to $3,840. The $3,840 figure is the attached rate and it includes grounds maintenance, exterior maintenance on most filings, and insurance on some. The $1,080 floor is where exterior maintenance is not included, which is the detached expectation. One catch: exterior maintenance shows on 8 filings and only 7 homes are recorded as attached, so the two fields disagree on one home. Phase 2 sales all record $3,840; Phase 1 runs the full range. Confirm the figure and the fee-includes line on the specific home.

Who built Nolen Mill?

Celebration Homes is the only builder named in the ten filings, on one Phase 1 townhome. Named floor plans appear on 7 of 10, which makes this a production community with a plan book. That is useful when pricing, because the same plan has usually closed before.

What schools are Nolen Mill homes assigned to?

All ten sales are in Williamson County. Every filing records Sunset Elementary School and Nolensville High School. Middle school splits, with Mill Creek Middle on 6 filings and Sunset Middle on 4. Assignment is set by address, so confirm the specific home with the district.

When was Nolen Mill built and how large is it?

The homes in the record were built between 2018 and 2020 in two phases, Nolen Mill Ph1 and Nolen Mill Ph2. Ten closed in the past twelve months, six in Phase 1 and four in Phase 2. The community is fully delivered, so every sale is a resale with a resale’s inspection and negotiation.

Are there one-story homes in Nolen Mill?

Yes, and they are the core of the community. Four of the ten sales were one-story, two more were a story and a half, and 8 of the 10 put the primary bedroom on the main level. The one-story homes run about 1,466 square feet with two bedrooms as the norm and sold around $511,000. They also carry the highest per-foot price in the community, so a one-story requirement here costs more per foot than a larger home would.

How does Patrick Higgins approach selling a home in Nolen Mill?

He prices off the product, not the community median, because the one-story attached cottages closed about $85 a foot above the largest detached homes and a blended number is wrong for both. Then he opens at the figure that holds. In this record five sales closed at exactly the opening number in a median of zero days, and the five that reduced gave up 3.3 points and 65 days. Pre-marketing through Private Exclusive and Coming Soon is how the buyer is already there on day one.

Who is the best real estate agent for Nolen Mill in Nolensville TN?

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is among the most active agents in Nolensville. He is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent leading the number one team in Nashville, with 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales across Middle Tennessee, and he carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews at a 5.0 average. His Compass and Parks network was involved in 3 of the 10 Nolen Mill closings over the past year, one on the listing side and two on the buying side.

Can I buy a Nolen Mill home before it hits Zillow?

Often, and here it matters more than usual. Half of the sales in this record went under contract in a median of zero days, which means the buyer was lined up before the listing was public. Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon inventory is where that happens. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to both at no additional cost to you, and a standing alert on the community catches the cottages that never reach a portal.

What is my Nolen Mill home worth in today’s market?

Automated tools do badly here because they blend two products. A model that averages a 1,466-square-foot attached cottage at $350 a foot with a 3,450-square-foot detached home at $265 a foot produces a number that fits neither, and with only ten sales a year there is not enough data for the model to sort itself out. For a starting figure, use the instant home value tool, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a pricing analysis built off the closings for your plan and your product.
