Smith Farms

MURFREESBORO’S PREMIER NEW CONSTRUCTION COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Smith Farms sits off Blackman Road in the 37129 zip code, one of the fastest-growing corridors in Rutherford County. The location puts you about 35 miles southeast of Nashville with quick access to both I-24 and I-840, which means you can get downtown Nashville in under 45 minutes and reach the Murfreesboro Medical Center or Middle Tennessee State University in minutes.

Day-to-day errands are easy. The Publix on Medical Center Parkway, Target on Old Fort Parkway, and the Avenue Murfreesboro shopping center are all within a short drive. Restaurants, coffee shops, and the sprawling Sam Ridley Parkway retail corridor are close enough to feel genuinely convenient without being directly adjacent to the neighborhood.

The community is directly across Blackman Road from Jamison Downs subdivision, and Barfield Crescent Park — a 430-acre public park with 7+ miles of trails, an 18-hole disc golf course, baseball fields, and a nature education center — is just a few minutes away. For families that want room to breathe without sacrificing city-level access, this pocket of southwest Murfreesboro hits a rare balance.

The Homes

Smith Farms is built entirely by Goodall Homes, a Clayton Properties Group company and subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway that has been building in Middle Tennessee since 1983. The community totals 196 home sites, and construction is still active as of early 2026.

Floor plans range from roughly 1,650 to just over 3,000 square feet, with 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 4 baths depending on the plan and options selected. The most popular plans in the community run two stories, though Goodall also offers single-story and story-and-a-half configurations. The Heartland plan offers one-level living with an optional bonus room; the Winston is a four-bedroom two-story with optional lake lot homesites that back to the community pond.

Construction is partial brick with vinyl siding, and attached front-load 2-car garages are standard. Upgraded options across the product line include an oversized 3-car garage, extended covered patio, dedicated media room, loft, hardwood stairs, tile shower in the owner’s bath, and upgraded cabinet and countertop packages. Flooring typically includes a mix of LVP, tile, and carpet depending on the plan and selections. All lots in Smith Farms are approximately one-fifth of an acre, and the community features underground utilities, sidewalks, and a walking trail throughout.

Select premium homesites back to the community lake, offering rear water views with no immediate back neighbors. These lots command a price premium and tend to move quickly when they hit the market.

Amenities

Within Smith Farms, residents enjoy a walking trail, sidewalks throughout, and underground utilities. The community pond creates a natural focal point and provides the backdrop for the lake-view premium homesites.

The standout off-site amenity is Barfield Crescent Park, just minutes from the neighborhood. At 430 acres, it is one of the largest community parks in Rutherford County. The park includes over 7 miles of paved and unpaved trails that wind through cedar glades, wildflower meadows, and along the Stones River, an 18-hole championship disc golf course, an 8-field baseball and softball complex, two playgrounds, 10 picnic shelters, mountain bike trails, 12 private campsites, a grass volleyball court, horseshoe pits, and the Wilderness Station nature education center. It is one of the best free outdoor resources in Middle Tennessee and it is essentially in Smith Farms’ backyard.

Shopping and dining are concentrated along Medical Center Parkway and Old Fort Parkway. The Avenue Murfreesboro is a short drive east and includes restaurants, a movie theater, and national retailers. Smyrna is about 10 minutes north for additional options.

Schools

Smith Farms falls entirely within Rutherford County Schools, confirmed from MLS data. The school assignments for the community are Brown’s Chapel Elementary School, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman High School. Rutherford County Schools is the fastest-growing school district in Tennessee and consistently ranks among the state’s stronger public systems.

Blackman High School in particular has a strong reputation for academics and extracurriculars. Parents considering private school options will find several independent schools in the broader Murfreesboro area as well.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

In Smith Farms, Compass agents represented 18.2% of all home sales over the past 12 months, with 6 of 33 transactions involving a Compass agent on the buying side. That level of reach inside a single new construction community means Compass buyers and their agents know this product, these builders, and these prices cold.

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass. He is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads the #1 real estate team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee per the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings, and has completed over 1,100 transactions totaling $500M+ in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee. Working with an agent of that track record inside a builder community is not the same as walking into the sales office alone — a buyer’s agent costs you nothing and protects your interests at every step.

On the national level, Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. After merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents are involved in approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee, giving clients unmatched access to coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and the largest referral network in the business.

For sellers in Smith Farms, the Compass Three Phase Marketing Strategy delivers measurable results. Homes marketed through this system close at a 2.9% higher price, go to contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to need a price drop compared to homes that go straight to MLS. The three phases work like this:

Phase 1 — Compass Private Exclusive: Test your price with a curated audience and gather real feedback before going public. No days on market. No price history visible to buyers.

Phase 2 — Compass Coming Soon: Your home launches on Compass.com, where motivated buyers find it before it hits the MLS. You build demand without accumulating days on market.

Phase 3 — Public Launch: Hit the MLS and third-party sites with momentum already built, maximizing the number of competing buyers when it matters most.

Does Smith Farms have a pool or clubhouse?

Smith Farms does not include a community pool or clubhouse. The neighborhood’s amenities focus on walking trails, sidewalks, a community pond, and underground utilities.

What type of buyer is Smith Farms best suited for?

Smith Farms is an excellent fit for families who want new construction quality, a top-rated school district, and a suburban setting without the congestion of closer-in Nashville suburbs. The floor plans and price range also attract move-up buyers coming from smaller Murfreesboro homes, relocation buyers transferring to the Murfreesboro or Smyrna area, and remote workers who need dedicated office or flex space — a feature Goodall’s larger plans deliver. Buyers who prize outdoor access will appreciate the immediate proximity to Barfield Crescent Park.

Can I access off-market homes in Smith Farms?

In a new construction community like Smith Farms, Compass Private Exclusives and Coming Soon listings are especially valuable. Goodall periodically releases new lots and spec homes before they appear on third-party search sites. As a Compass agent with direct builder relationships and access to the Coming Soon network, Patrick Higgins can alert buyers to inventory before it hits the open market. This kind of early access can be the difference in a community where the best homesites — particularly lake-view lots — go fast.
