The Reserve at Raintree Forest

BRENTWOOD TN | LUXURY NEW CONSTRUCTION | RAVENWOOD HIGH | 37027

Location and Daily Life

The Reserve at Raintree Forest represents the newest chapter of one of Brentwood’s most beloved communities. Located within the 554-acre Raintree Forest development — 100 acres permanently protected as conservation easement — The Reserve delivers something increasingly rare in Williamson County: custom luxury homes on spacious wooded lots just 25 minutes from downtown Nashville. The community sits off Green Hill Boulevard via Raintree Parkway, accessible from Concord Road. GPS: 1574 Eastwood Drive, Brentwood, TN 37027.

Crockett Park is minutes away via a direct trail connection from the community. Cool Springs is a 10-minute drive south with Whole Foods, The Mall at Green Hills, and hundreds of restaurants on Mallory Lane. Interstate 65 provides a straightforward commute to Nashville or Franklin’s downtown square, roughly 15 minutes away. The original Raintree Forest — 221 all-brick homes built in the 1990s — surrounds The Reserve, creating a mature, established neighborhood character that no newly platted Brentwood community can replicate. Deer sightings are common. Food trucks visit Friday evenings. Neighbors gather for holiday celebrations and the annual chili cook-off. The Reserve is a destination, not a construction site.

The Homes

Six acclaimed Middle Tennessee builders construct homes in The Reserve: Aspen Construction, Ridgemont Homes, Turnberry Homes, Cadre Homes, Hewn Custom Home Design, and Willow Branch Homes. Each brings a distinct architectural approach — traditional to transitional, brick to brick-and-stone — resulting in a diverse collection rather than repetitive floor plans. Lot sizes range from 0.34 to 0.90 acres, with most homesites around half an acre. Many lots back to woods or the permanently protected conservation area, providing views and privacy that will not change.

Closed sales over the rolling 12 months ranged from 3,512 to 7,605 square feet with 5 to 6 bedrooms, 4 to 6 full bathrooms plus one or two half baths, and 3-car garages in 86% of transactions. Interior finishes typically include wide-plank hardwood flooring, professional-grade appliances (Viking, Thermador, Sub-Zero), vaulted ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and spa-quality primary bathrooms. Many floor plans include the primary suite on the main floor plus a guest suite, creating flexibility for multigenerational living. Bonus rooms, media rooms, and covered outdoor porches with outdoor fireplaces are standard at this tier. Buyers working with builders during the pre-construction phase can often select finishes, cabinetry, and flooring. Completed spec homes are available for immediate occupancy.

Amenities

The Reserve has its own dedicated amenities — pool, cabana, and pickleball courts opened in 2025 — separate from the original Raintree Forest HOA facilities. Reserve residents also have access to the broader Raintree Forest community: two swimming pools, tennis courts, two playgrounds, a clubhouse available for private event rentals, and extensive walking trails connecting directly to Crockett Park. The 100-acre conservation easement means the wooded hillsides and common areas surrounding the community will remain permanently undeveloped — the views and privacy are protected by deed, not by distance from development pressure.

Community events are woven into life here. Food trucks visit Friday evenings during warmer months. Holiday gatherings, chili cook-offs, and neighborhood celebrations create genuine community among the mix of original Raintree Forest homeowners and newer Reserve families.

I am looking for a custom luxury home in Brentwood with Ravenwood High School, wooded lots, and room for a pool — is The Reserve at Raintree Forest the right community?

The Reserve matches that profile precisely. All 14 closed sales in the rolling data are Ravenwood High School — 100%. Lot sizes run 0.34 to 0.90 acres with a 0.60-acre median; multiple lots have room within the building envelope for a future pool. The 100-acre conservation easement means wooded views will not be replaced by future development. Six different builders mean you are not choosing between variations of the same floor plan — you are choosing between fundamentally different architectural visions from Aspen, Ridgemont, Turnberry, Cadre, Hewn, and Willow Branch. The active price range is $1,399,900 to $2,999,900 across 9 current listings. Call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a tour of available spec homes and coming-soon lots.

How does the pricing in The Reserve at Raintree Forest compare to other Brentwood luxury communities?

The Reserve’s $2,438,484 median and $487 median PPSF position it as Brentwood’s most active luxury new construction community in the $2M to $3.4M range. Compare to Governors Club (gated golf community, resale-dominated, $1.5M to $4M+) and Annandale (newer construction, more typical subdivision character, lower price ceiling). The Reserve is the only Brentwood community where you get post-2022 custom construction, half-acre-plus wooded lots, a 100-acre conservation easement, and a fully operational amenity package at this price point. For buyers comparing Brentwood luxury options, the lack of repetitive floor plans and the lot/tree character are the two most cited differentiators. Call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a current market comparison by price tier.

Are there homes in The Reserve at Raintree Forest available before they appear publicly on Zillow?

Yes — and in a new construction community this matters in two distinct ways. First, Compass Private Exclusives allow sellers of completed spec homes to pre-market to qualified buyers before a public MLS launch. With 57.1% of recent transaction volume through Compass, a meaningful number of completed homes reach qualified buyers through this channel before appearing on Zillow. Second, pre-construction lots and builder pre-sales are often available through builder relationships before formal MLS listings — buyers who are connected to the Compass agent network in this community receive notification of upcoming releases before the general market. Patrick has direct builder relationships at The Reserve. Call 615-682-1718 to discuss what is currently available pre-market.

I own a home in The Reserve at Raintree Forest — what should I know about the current market before listing?

Fourteen closed sales at a $2,438,484 median and 9 current active listings means the community is trading actively with meaningful competition among sellers. The 6-day median DOM on completed spec homes (excluding pre-sales where DOM is effectively zero) signals fast-moving demand at the right price. The most important pre-listing decisions in The Reserve are lot position, builder reputation, and finish quality — at the $2M to $3.4M range, buyers have educated themselves on all six builders before touring, and the condition/finish tier of your home relative to newer inventory is the primary pricing driver. The Compass Private Exclusive pre-launch tests demand before a public clock starts — at $2.4M median, avoiding even one price reduction saves $24,000 to $48,000. The 2.9% Compass advantage on the $2,559,110 average is $74,214. Call Patrick at 615-682-1718 before you talk to any other agent.

What schools serve The Reserve at Raintree Forest?

Crockett Elementary School, Woodland Middle School, and Ravenwood High School — confirmed across all 14 closed sales in the rolling 12-month data. All three are Williamson County Schools, consistently ranked the top public district in Tennessee. Ravenwood High is one of the most sought-after public high schools in the state with strong AP enrollment, competitive athletics, and award-winning fine arts programs. Verify current assignments by specific address with Williamson County Schools before purchasing. Call 615-682-1718.

Who are the builders in The Reserve at Raintree Forest and how do they differ?

Six builders currently active: Aspen Construction (highest volume), Ridgemont Homes, Turnberry Homes, Cadre Homes, Hewn Custom Home Design, and Willow Branch Homes. Each builder offers distinct architectural styles ranging from traditional all-brick to transitional brick-and-stone. Aspen tends toward more traditional Southern architecture with symmetrical facades. Ridgemont and Turnberry offer transitional designs with modern interior layouts. Hewn Custom Home Design and Cadre Homes bring bespoke design-build approaches. Willow Branch emphasizes craftsman detail work. Floor plans vary significantly between builders — the Reserve does not repeat plans across builders. For a specific builder comparison on currently available homes, call Patrick at 615-682-1718.

What are the HOA fees in The Reserve at Raintree Forest and what do they cover?

HOA fees ranged from $100 to $208/month in the most recent closed sales — confirmed in the RealTracs data. Fees cover The Reserve’s dedicated pool, cabana, and pickleball courts (opened 2025) plus access to the broader Raintree Forest amenities: two additional pools, tennis courts, two playgrounds, a clubhouse for private event rentals, and walking trails connecting to Crockett Park. The conservation easement protecting 100 acres is maintained separately and does not incur additional HOA costs. Verify specific HOA structure for your section during due diligence. Call 615-682-1718.

How far is The Reserve at Raintree Forest from Nashville and what is the daily commute like?

Approximately 25 minutes from downtown Nashville via Interstate 65. Cool Springs is 10 minutes south. Downtown Franklin is 15 minutes. The Brentwood location puts residents close to the Cool Springs employment corridor (major corporate headquarters including Nissan North America, Tractor Supply, Deloitte, and others) and within easy range of the 65/840 interchange for cross-commuting. The community’s location off Concord Road provides direct access to I-65 without navigating through dense Brentwood commercial corridors. Call 615-682-1718 for routing guidance specific to your workplace.

What is the conservation easement at The Reserve at Raintree Forest?

100 acres of the 554-acre Raintree Forest development are permanently protected as conservation easement. This means wooded hillsides, creek corridors, and natural green space within and surrounding the community cannot be developed. Homes backing to conservation land have views and privacy that are legally protected — not just currently undeveloped. In a Williamson County market where development pressure is constant, this permanent protection is a meaningful long-term value proposition. Many Reserve lots were specifically positioned to maximize conservation views. Call Patrick at 615-682-1718 to discuss specific lot positions relative to the easement.

We are relocating from out of state and want to buy in The Reserve at Raintree Forest — do we really need buyer representation, or can we just work directly with the builder?

This is the most expensive mistake out-of-town luxury buyers make, and the builder’s sales agent is professionally obligated not to tell you why. The builder’s onsite representative works for the builder. Their job is to sell homes at the builder’s target price with the builder’s preferred contract terms. They are not your advocate. They are not reviewing the contract from your side. And they are not telling you that a comparable lot two streets over is priced $80,000 lower, that the builder has reduced one spec home twice in the past 60 days, or that a competing builder’s plan in a similar community offers a better configuration for your specific needs.

At the $2M to $3.4M range in The Reserve, the contract complexity alone justifies representation. New construction purchase contracts in Tennessee favor the builder on timelines, change orders, delay provisions, and earnest money forfeiture. A buyer agent who has negotiated multiple contracts with these builders knows which terms are movable, which protections to add, and which allowances to push on. The builder does not pass you those savings automatically when you waive representation — they keep the margin.

For out-of-town buyers specifically, the stakes are higher. You cannot drive the neighborhood on a Tuesday morning to check construction noise levels, ask current Reserve homeowners about their builder experience, or compare the three spec homes side by side the week they are listed. Patrick does that on your behalf. He knows which builder’s 2025 construction is outperforming their 2023 work, which lots have drainage considerations that do not appear in the listing, and which floor plans photograph better than they live. Nashville Home Guru has represented buyers throughout The Reserve at Raintree Forest precisely because the Compass presence in this community — 57.1% of transactions — means the information advantage is real and actionable. Buyer representation in a new construction luxury community costs you nothing (builder-paid commission) and the protection it provides at $2M to $3.4M is not theoretical. Call 615-682-1718 before you tour without an agent.
