Sherwood Forest

A SMALL ESTABLISHED ENCLAVE OFF WALTON FERRY ROAD | HENDERSONVILLE TN 37075

Location and Daily Life in Sherwood Forest

Sherwood Forest is a small established single-family community in Hendersonville’s 37075 zip code, located off Walton Ferry Road. Homes here are built along Robinhood Circle and Walton Ferry Road. The Walton Ferry setting is one of the more convenient parts of Hendersonville, close to Old Hickory Lake and its marinas and parks, everyday shopping and services along Nashville Pike, and a short drive to Vietnam Veterans Boulevard for the commute toward Nashville or Gallatin.

Sherwood Forest is a compact, quiet pocket rather than a sprawling subdivision. That small scale is the appeal: fewer neighbors, a settled feel, and no homeowners association, all in a lake-adjacent location that stays in demand. It suits first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone who wants an established home close to the water without a large development around them.

The Homes

Sherwood Forest dates to the early 1960s, and the homes are comfortable and right-sized. The most recent sale was a three-bedroom, two-bath home of about 1,400 square feet, which is representative of the scale here. Styles reflect the era, from ranch to traditional designs, and many homes have been updated by their owners over the decades, so condition ranges from original to renovated.

One detail worth noting from the recent data: that sale closed at roughly $250 per square foot, a strong per-foot figure for a 1960s home at this price point. That reflects both the quality of the home itself and the ongoing demand for the Walton Ferry area, where buyers pay a premium to be close to Old Hickory Lake. With no homeowners association in the recent sales data, owners also keep flexibility and low carrying costs.

Sherwood Forest Community Snapshot

Sherwood Forest is a very small community with low turnover, where only a home or two sells in a given year. One home closed in the trailing 12 months, at $350,000, which is a single data point rather than a full market picture. The snapshot below reflects that recent closing alongside the community’s typical characteristics.

At $350,000, Sherwood Forest offers an accessible entry point well below the citywide median of $530,000, in a lake-adjacent location that is hard to match at that price. Because so few homes trade here, the closest comparable sales, including recent closings in neighboring Walton Ferry communities, are the best guide to what a specific home is worth. Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team track every closing in this area and can put a specific home in context.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

In a community this small, where a single sale can be the only recent data point, pricing has to be built from the surrounding Walton Ferry market rather than from the neighborhood alone. Nashville Home Guru is a data-driven team that tracks every listing and sale in Hendersonville, and Patrick Higgins, a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads it. The team is ranked the number one team in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, with more than 1,100 transactions and over $500 million in residential sales across Middle Tennessee. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews, the feedback from clients across Hendersonville reflects what the data already shows.

Across Hendersonville, Compass and Parks agents represented about 16.9% of all home sales over the past 12 months, so the team is active throughout the market, including the established Walton Ferry neighborhoods that surround Sherwood Forest. That broader coverage is exactly what makes it possible to value a home in a pocket neighborhood where in-community sales are rare.

Compass is the number one residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume, and after merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents represent roughly one in four homes sold in Tennessee. That footprint gives buyers access to coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and the largest agent referral network in real estate, which matters enormously in a small enclave like Sherwood Forest where homes come available only occasionally.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy delivers measurable results. Homes pre-marketed through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction.

With so few in-neighborhood sales, Patrick builds value from the closest comparable homes across the Walton Ferry corridor, adjusting for size, condition, and lot, rather than relying on a single closing. He and the Nashville Home Guru team also watch for quiet listings in small enclaves like this one. As a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, Patrick brings a data-first approach even where in-community data is thin.

What is my Sherwood Forest home worth in today’s market?
