Mt. Olivet Estates

Mt. Olivet Estates at a glance

Mt. Olivet Estates is a new-construction community in Columbia, in Maury County, TN, set along Mount Olivet Road just south of the city. It is a small, intentionally low-density development: a planned 12-home community where every homesite spans 2 acres or more. That scale gives the neighborhood an open, rural feel while keeping you close to Columbia's shopping, dining, and interstate access. The homes here are all-brick, single-family residences, and the community is actively selling, with homes at various stages, some already sold, others under construction, and others move-in ready.

Mt. Olivet Estates is built by Shaw Home Builders. Because the floor plans emphasize main-level living, with the primary bedrooms downstairs, and lots are large enough to spread out, the community tends to appeal to buyers who want acreage and single-story-style convenience without giving up new-construction finishes or an easy commute toward Columbia and I-65. If you are weighing acreage living against being close to town, this is a community where those two priorities meet.

Who builds in Mt. Olivet Estates

Mt. Olivet Estates is developed and built by Shaw Home Builders, an established Middle Tennessee builder with more than 35 years of homebuilding experience in the region. As the single builder for the community, Shaw oversees the full build, all-brick construction, the downstairs floor plans, and the standard finishes, which makes for a consistent look and feel across the 12 homesites.

Sales for the community are handled by Brandee Ransom. Because Shaw is the only builder here, the homes share a cohesive design language rather than a mix of styles from competing builders. When you tour, you are looking at one builder's product line across a single, defined neighborhood, which makes it easier to compare lots and plans head-to-head.

Homes & floor plans

Homes in Mt. Olivet Estates are all-brick, single-family residences built around main-level living. Shaw's plans here are offered as 3- and 4-bedroom "down" plans, meaning the bedrooms are on the main floor, a layout many buyers seek for long-term comfort and accessibility. Garages are generous, with 3- and 4-car options available depending on the plan and homesite.

Inside, the homes feature granite countertops and hardwood floors as part of the finish package, along with climatized crawlspaces and high-speed internet availability. Every home sits on a lot of 2 acres or more, which is unusually spacious for new construction and gives buyers room for outbuildings, gardens, or simply distance from neighbors.

Specific square footage ranges and current plan availability change as homes are sold and new ones are started. For the full, up-to-date plan details, exact bedroom and bath counts, and which homesites remain, we recommend checking the builder's official community page and then having us pull the current list so you are comparing what is actually available right now.

Amenities & community life

Mt. Olivet Estates is built around space and privacy rather than shared resort-style amenities. The draw here is the land itself, 2+ acre lots that give each home elbow room, paired with new-construction conveniences. Curbed streets, high-speed internet, and climatized crawlspaces are part of the community's standard infrastructure.

Day to day, life in Mt. Olivet Estates looks like rural living with town close at hand: room to spread out on your own acreage, a short drive into Columbia for errands and dining, and quick access toward I-65 when you need to head north. It is a fit for buyers who want the quiet of a larger lot without a long trip to everyday conveniences.

Location, access & schools

Mt. Olivet Estates is located along Mount Olivet Road in Columbia, TN 38401. The community is positioned for convenient access to downtown Columbia and to I-65, putting shopping, dining, and the interstate within a short drive while keeping the homesites in a quieter, more rural setting.

Homes in this area of Columbia are served by Maury County Public Schools. School assignments depend on the specific homesite and can change, so we are glad to confirm the currently zoned schools for any address you are considering before you move forward.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move quickly, especially in an active community like this one where homes are at different stages. Before you write an offer, confirm the current pricing, which homesites and plans are still available, the build phase and timeline on any home of interest, the exact lot lines and acreage, and whether any HOA or community covenants apply. These specifics are best verified directly rather than assumed from an online listing.

We pull live numbers and current availability for you so you are working from today's facts, not a stale listing. If you would like, we will gather all of this on your behalf and walk you through it side by side.
