Windstone

BRENTWOOD’S PREMIER GATED LUXURY COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Windstone

Windstone sits in a hidden valley off Murray Lane on the eastern side of Brentwood, tucked between rolling ridgelines across nearly 200 acres. Behind the handcrafted wood and iron gates, 108 home sites spread across one of the most private and serene settings in all of Williamson County. The property originally belonged to Eddy Arnold, the legendary country music singer and songwriter, for more than 50 years before Southern Land Company transformed it into one of Middle Tennessee’s most sought-after residential communities.

Despite the secluded feeling, the location is exceptionally convenient. I-65 is minutes away, putting downtown Nashville about 20 minutes north and historic downtown Franklin roughly 10 minutes south. The Cool Springs commercial district with CoolSprings Galleria, major retailers, and dozens of restaurants is a quick five-minute drive. Brentwood’s retail core along Franklin Road provides everyday essentials even closer to home.

The community itself feels like a private estate. Tree-lined streets with sidewalks wind through the valley, and the manicured landscaping throughout common areas rivals what you’d see at a high-end resort. Southern Land Company’s reputation for attention to detail is evident everywhere, from the stone walls at the entrance to the carefully maintained green spaces and fishing ponds scattered throughout the community.

The Homes

Southern Land Company developed Windstone beginning around 2004, with most homes constructed between 2007 and 2016 by a roster of Tennessee’s top custom builders including Mike Ford and Ron Davis, among others. The community drew architectural inspiration from European styles, and you’ll see Tudor, French Eclectic, English Classic, Queen Anne, Italianate, and English Picturesque influences throughout.

Single-family homes in Windstone range from approximately 3,600 to over 10,000 square feet. Construction quality is a step above what you’ll find in most Brentwood subdivisions. All-brick and partial-brick exteriors are standard, and interiors typically feature hardwood floors, designer finishes, tray and coffered ceilings, chef’s kitchens with professional-grade appliances, and luxury primary suites. Many homes include finished basements, home theaters, wine cellars, and outdoor living areas with pools, fireplaces, and covered patios.

Windstone also includes a small section of luxury townhomes along Pleasant Water Lane. These attached homes offer the same gated community benefits and premium finishes in a lower-maintenance format, appealing to empty nesters and buyers who want Windstone’s address without managing a larger estate property. The townhome HOA covers exterior maintenance and insurance in addition to community amenities.

Lot sizes vary considerably based on position within the valley. Some lots are compact at 0.11 acres (townhome section), while estate lots on the ridgetops can reach 0.78 acres or more. Many homes back to wooded areas, providing exceptional privacy that the acreage alone doesn’t convey.

Amenities

Windstone’s amenities reflect the luxury positioning of the community. The HOA fee for single-family homes covers access to a resort-style community pool, a clubhouse for private events and gatherings, and a fitness center. The gated entrance provides controlled access with automated gates, and the community features underground utilities throughout, keeping the streetscape clean and uncluttered.

Beyond the built amenities, Windstone’s natural setting is one of its biggest draws. The valley location creates a sense of being miles from anywhere, with mature trees, rolling terrain, and scenic fishing ponds throughout the property. Sidewalks line the streets, and the winding roads make for pleasant walks or jogs within the gates. Several homes also feature their own private pools, which is common in a community at this price point.

The grounds maintenance included in the HOA covers the extensive landscaping of common areas, which Southern Land Company designed to resemble English estate gardens. The attention to horticulture throughout Windstone is a noticeable step above typical subdivision standards.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

Buying or selling in a gated luxury community like Windstone requires a different approach than a typical residential transaction. Inventory is limited with just 108 home sites, turnover is low, and many sales happen through private networks before properties ever reach the public MLS. You need an agent who tracks this market closely and has connections within these communities.

In Windstone specifically, Compass and Parks agents were involved in 2 of the 3 homes sold over the past 12 months, representing 66.7% of all transaction activity. That kind of market share in a small, exclusive community means Nashville Home Guru and the Compass network are where Windstone sellers turn when it’s time to make a move. For a community this size, that market presence is the difference between a well-priced sale and leaving money on the table.

Patrick Higgins leads the #1 real estate team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, with over 1,100 transactions and $500M+ in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee. As a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, Patrick brings the data-driven approach and luxury marketing expertise that properties in this price range demand.

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 now represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold in Tennessee. That network gives Windstone sellers access to a nationwide pool of qualified luxury buyers and gives buyers early access to coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and off-market opportunities that other brokerages simply don’t see.

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. On a median Windstone sale of $2,500,000, that 2.9% difference equals $72,500 in additional proceeds. In a community like Windstone where discretion matters and testing your price before going public has real value, this phased approach is particularly powerful.

Get a starting estimate at our home value tool, then call Patrick Higgins at 615-682-1718 for a comprehensive pricing analysis tailored to your specific property.
