Magnolia Farms

Magnolia Farms at a glance

Magnolia Farms is a 289-home new-construction community in Hermitage, on the east side of Davidson County, TN. It sits on roughly 98 acres of former farmland — the old Hessey Farm — that moved from agricultural to residential use through a multi-year rezoning and master-planning process. Beazer Homes is building the neighborhood across three distinct product lines: Villas, Cottages, and the Reserve at Magnolia Farms. The Reserve, an 18-home section, has sold out, while the Villas and Cottages are actively selling, so this is a community you can still buy into new today.

The mix of home styles means Magnolia Farms tends to draw a range of buyers — from people looking for a lower-maintenance villa or cottage to households wanting a larger single-family floor plan, all in one master-planned setting close to the airport and Percy Priest Lake. Because the community was designed around a preserved legacy oak tree and a pond as its central focal points, it has a planned, landscaped feel rather than a one-off-lot feel. For relocating and out-of-state buyers especially, that turnkey, amenity-supported new-construction setup is a big part of the appeal.

Who builds in Magnolia Farms

Magnolia Farms is a Beazer Homes community, and Beazer is the builder across all three product lines — the Villas, the Cottages, and the Reserve at Magnolia Farms. Having a single national builder behind the whole neighborhood means a consistent set of construction standards and a clear, organized buying process from product line to product line. Beazer set the community's plan, including the preserved oak tree and pond focal points that were carried over from the original farm site (the master plan was developed with a Gresham Smith architect).

Beazer is known for energy-efficient construction, and that carries through at Magnolia Farms: homes here are built as DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes and are ENERGY STAR certified, which Beazer describes as 40 to 50 percent more efficient than a typical new home. The Reserve section also offered an optional Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall system. We work alongside Beazer's onsite team as your buyer's representative — helping you compare the product lines, understand what is and isn't included, and keep your interests front and center. You can review current plans and inventory directly on the Beazer Homes Magnolia Farms pages, and we will confirm the live details with you.

Homes & floor plans

Magnolia Farms is organized into three product lines, each with its own character. The Villas are full-brick homes that read as low-maintenance townhome and single-family living. The Cottages feature alley-load garages, which keeps the streetscape clean by tucking driveways and garages to the rear. The Reserve at Magnolia Farms was the community's larger single-family section — an 18-home enclave that has now sold out. Lot sizes vary by section and product line, so the right fit depends on which line you are shopping.

Verified size details come from the Reserve homes, which ran from about 2,300 to 2,900 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms; square footage in the Villas and Cottages varies by plan. Across the community, the standout feature is the build itself — DOE Zero Energy Ready Home construction with ENERGY STAR certification, and, in the Reserve, optional Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall. Because plan availability and dimensions change as sections build out, treat any plan name or measurement online as a starting point and let us pull the current, line-by-line details from Beazer for you.

• Villas: full-brick, lower-maintenance townhome/single-family living
• Cottages: alley-load garages (garages to the rear)
• Reserve at Magnolia Farms: 18-home single-family section, sold out
• Reserve sizes: about 2,300–2,900 sq. ft., 3–4 bedrooms
• Construction: DOE Zero Energy Ready, ENERGY STAR certified (Beazer cites 40–50% more efficient)
• Reserve option: Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall

Amenities & community life

Day-to-day, Magnolia Farms is built around shared outdoor space. The community amenities include pools with a cabana, a splash pad, a tot lot and playground, walking trails, and open green space. At the center of it all are the two features carried over from the original farm — a preserved legacy oak tree and a pond that anchor the neighborhood and give the common areas a sense of place.

For buyers, that adds up to a master-planned setting where the recreation is a short walk from your front door — a real draw if you want walking paths, a place for kids to cool off in the summer, and gathering spots without leaving the neighborhood. We always confirm which amenities are complete versus planned, and how the HOA maintains them, in writing before you commit, so you know exactly what you are getting.

Location, access & schools

Magnolia Farms is in Hermitage, with addresses along Magnolia Farms Drive off Hoggett Ford Road, in the 37076 ZIP. The location is one of its strongest selling points for relocating buyers: it is about 10 minutes from BNA Nashville International Airport, which makes both travel and out-of-state house-hunting easy, and it has access to Percy Priest Lake for boating, fishing, and recreation. From here you are on the east side of the metro with straightforward access into the broader Nashville area.

The community is zoned for Tulip Grove Elementary, DuPont Tyler Middle, and McGavock Comprehensive High School. School zoning can change, so we always verify current assignments and boundaries with Metro Nashville Public Schools for the specific home you are considering.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move quickly, especially in a community building across multiple product lines like Magnolia Farms. Treat anything you read online — here or elsewhere — as a starting point. Before you write an offer on a Villa, a Cottage, or any available home, have us confirm the current numbers and terms directly with Beazer and the listing side.

• Current pricing by product line — we pull live figures from Beazer for you
• Which homes and quick-move-ins are available, and the current phase of each section
• HOA dues, what they cover, and the recorded covenants and restrictions
• Lot specifics: which section, lot size, and orientation
• Included specifications, energy features, and any optional upgrades (such as Reserve-style solar)
• Current school zoning for the specific home
