Burton Farms

Burton Farms at a glance

Burton Farms sits in Smyrna, Tennessee, in Rutherford County, off Burton Farms Drive in the 37167 ZIP code. It is one of Smyrna's largest single-family subdivisions — a multi-phase development that has been growing since roughly 2002 across six primary sections plus an annex. Rather than a one-and-done build-out, Burton Farms has filled in over 20-plus years, which is why you'll find both established streets and newer construction within the same community.

Today the community is actively selling, with new single-family homes from Ole South Properties — Tennessee's largest independent home builder. Homes here range from about 1,315 to 2,540 square feet, in the $371,990s and up, on quarter-acre lots in the established sections and closer to half-acre in some of the newer ones. It tends to draw buyers who want new or near-new construction in a settled, all-single-family Smyrna neighborhood with quick access to Nashville-area job centers. Because we tour communities like this constantly, we can walk you through how the different phases compare before you commit.

Who builds in Burton Farms

The active new-construction builder in Burton Farms is Ole South Properties. Ole South is Tennessee's largest independent home builder and a Top 100 builder nationally — ranked #66 in 2022, #90 in 2023, and #93 in 2024 — so this is a high-volume, locally rooted builder with a long track record across Middle Tennessee. As of mid-2026, Ole South continues to offer and close new homes in Burton Farms.

Earlier phases of Burton Farms also included larger all-brick plans associated with Action Homes (primarily a realty brokerage). If you're shopping the resale or earlier-phase homes alongside the new Ole South inventory, it helps to know the community wasn't built by a single builder in a single year — the housing stock reflects more than two decades of construction. We can help you sort which homes are new construction versus earlier-phase resale, and what that means for your search.

Homes & floor plans

Burton Farms is all single-family. Floor plans span roughly 1,315 to 2,540 square feet, with 3 to 5 bedrooms, so the range covers right-sized homes through larger plans for buyers who want more room. Pricing on the current Ole South new construction starts in the $371,990s; we pull live numbers, available plans, and current inventory for you so you're working from today's figures rather than a stale listing.

• 2-car garage on every home
• Kitchen appliances included
• Quarter-acre lots typical in established sections; some newer sections trend toward half-acre
• Larger all-brick plans appear in earlier phases (Action Homes)

For the most current plan lineup, square footage, and elevations, the builder's official Burton Farms community page is the authoritative source — and we're happy to compare those plans side by side with you, including how lot size and section affect what's available.

Amenities & community life

Burton Farms keeps its amenities simple and practical: a playground, a walking trail, and underground utilities throughout. The walking trail and playground give the neighborhood everyday outdoor space without the overhead of a large amenity package, and underground utilities keep the streetscape clean. Because the community has been built out in phases over many years, it has the settled, fully-landscaped feel of an established Smyrna neighborhood rather than a brand-new raw subdivision.

There is a homeowners association at Burton Farms that covers ground maintenance. HOA dues and exactly what they include can change, so we confirm the current figure and coverage with you directly before you write an offer.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction communities move fast, and Burton Farms has multiple phases with different lots, plans, and pricing. Before you write an offer, it's worth confirming the details that change week to week. We do this verification for every client at no cost — it's the core of representing you well in a new build.

• Current pricing and any builder incentives on the home or plan you want
• Which phase and section the home is in, and how lots compare
• Live availability — what's actually for sale, under contract, or closing soon
• The current HOA dues amount and exactly what they cover
• Lot size, orientation, and any premiums
• Standard features versus upgrades, and what's included at the listed price

Builder figures and MLS data are our starting point, not the final word — we pull the live numbers and walk the specifics with you so there are no surprises at closing.
