Rutherford

Rutherford at a glance

Rutherford is an active new-construction community in Columbia, the county seat of Maury County, TN, set just off Hays Drive across from J.E. Woodard Elementary School. It's built by Regent Homes, a Nashville-metro builder, and offers single-family homes — including two-story plans — with 3 to 4 bedrooms ranging from roughly 2,000 to 2,700 square feet. The community is currently selling, with inventory available, and it sits along Hays Drive, putting it minutes from downtown Columbia and Maury Regional Medical Center.

Rutherford tends to draw buyers who want a brand-new home with room to spread out — flex rooms, multi-car garages, and energy-efficient construction — within easy reach of Columbia's downtown, schools, and medical jobs. Because we tour new-construction communities across Middle Tennessee constantly, The Will Johnson Team can help you compare Rutherford against other Columbia and Maury County options and walk you through the build from contract to close.

Who builds in Rutherford

Rutherford is built by Regent Homes, a builder operating across the Nashville metro and Huntsville markets that has been delivering new communities since 2014. Regent emphasizes eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs in its homes, which carries through to the single-family and two-story plans offered here.

Working with a single, established builder means a more consistent design and construction approach across the community. The onsite Regent team handles the day-to-day logistics of selecting a homesite, a plan, and finishes — and when you bring us along as your buyer's agent, we help you weigh options, ask the right questions on inspections and warranties, and keep the timeline on track, all at little or no cost to you.
