Swansons Ridge

FRANKLIN’S EXCLUSIVE ESTATE COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Swansons Ridge

Swansons Ridge is one of the most exclusive residential enclaves in Franklin, Tennessee. This boutique community of just 21 custom-built homes sits on 1+ acre lots along a quiet cul-de-sac off Kittrell Road, surrounded by horse farms and rolling countryside. The setting feels distinctly rural, yet downtown Franklin’s Main Street is roughly 10 minutes away.

Access is straightforward. From Columbia Pike (Highway 31), turn onto Kittrell Road and drive about a mile. After crossing the railroad tracks, Swansons Ridge Drive is on your left. Despite the country feel, you’re close to everything. Berry Farms Town Center with its shops, restaurants, and grocery is just a few minutes south. I-65 is accessible via Goose Creek Bypass, and I-840 provides a direct connection to the rest of Middle Tennessee without fighting Franklin traffic.

This is the kind of location where you can have genuine acreage and privacy while still being practical for daily life. Parents drop kids at Winstead Elementary in under 10 minutes. Cool Springs shopping and dining is roughly 15 minutes north. The surrounding horse farms and open land provide views that most Franklin neighborhoods simply cannot offer.

The Homes

Swansons Ridge was developed by Encompass Land Group as a bring-your-own-builder community with 21 lots. Homes were constructed by several custom builders, including Southern Elite Custom Homes, Hewn Custom Homes, and HS Baker Construction, among others. Construction began around 2019 with most homes completed between 2020 and 2022.

The architectural character leans heavily toward modern farmhouse and transitional styles. Think painted brick exteriors with Hardie board accents, black aluminum-clad windows, metal roof accents, and large covered porches. These are not cookie-cutter production homes. Each residence was designed and built as a true custom project, so no two are alike.

Homes generally range from approximately 3,100 to 5,200 square feet, with 4 to 5 bedrooms and 4 to 6 bathrooms. Most are two-story plans with primary bedrooms on the main level. You’ll commonly find 3-car attached garages (some with 4-car configurations), screened porches with fireplaces, gourmet kitchens with premium appliance packages (Thermador, Cafe, KitchenAid), hardwood floors throughout main levels, and custom millwork.

Lot sizes range from approximately 1.0 to 1.74 acres, with several lots backing to a common area featuring a creek. The level terrain and generous lot sizes make many properties ideal for adding pools, outbuildings, or other improvements. Homes sit on septic systems with city water service.

Swansons Ridge Market Data

Swansons Ridge is a very low-turnover community. With only 21 homes, sales are infrequent, which is typical for boutique estate neighborhoods of this caliber. There have been no closed sales in the past 12 months, which speaks to the satisfaction of current homeowners and the scarcity of available inventory.

Amenities

Swansons Ridge keeps things simple, which is by design. This is not a master-planned community with resort-style amenities. The appeal here is land, privacy, and custom architecture on a quiet cul-de-sac.

The community does feature a shared common area with a natural creek that runs along the back of several lots. This green space adds a buffer between properties and provides a pleasant setting for walking or simply enjoying the outdoors. The HOA covers grounds maintenance for common areas and trash service.

For recreation, residents have easy access to everything Franklin offers. Harlinsdale Farm Park, a 200+ acre public park with walking trails and community events, is roughly 5 minutes away. The Natchez Trace Parkway is accessible for cycling and scenic drives. Berry Farms Town Center provides shopping, dining, and entertainment options without a long commute.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

In a community of just 21 homes, opportunities to buy in Swansons Ridge are rare. When one does come available, you need an agent who already knows the neighborhood, tracks every listing, and can move quickly. That is exactly what Nashville Home Guru provides.

Patrick Higgins, a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads the Nashville Home Guru team, ranked the #1 team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings. With over 1,100 transactions and more than $500 million in residential sales across Middle Tennessee, the team brings a depth of market knowledge that is difficult to match.

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 represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold in Tennessee. That means more connections to potential buyers, more access to off-market opportunities, and the largest referral network in real estate. In an ultra-exclusive community like Swansons Ridge, where properties rarely trade publicly, these connections can make all the difference.

For sellers, our 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. For a $2 million+ home, that 2.9% advantage alone represents more than $60,000 in additional value.
