Farmhouse Downs

Farmhouse Downs at a glance

Farmhouse Downs is an active, selling master-planned community in Murfreesboro, in Rutherford County, planned for 424 total lots across more than 200 acres. It is a new-construction neighborhood being built out in phases — Phase 4 was approved by the Murfreesboro Planning Commission in December 2025, and on-site work has continued into 2026, including a traffic signal installed in May 2026 — so this is a community still actively under construction, not a finished, sold-out subdivision. The land plan and infrastructure were carried by the development team behind the project (Front Street Partners as developer, with Catalyst Design Group handling the civil engineering and landscape architecture), and the homes are single-family residences.

The orientation matters because many new-construction buyers in this corridor arrive from out of state or are relocating across the metro, and Murfreesboro is one of Middle Tennessee's fastest-building markets. Farmhouse Downs sits on the south side of Murfreesboro off Haven Drive, near Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and The Avenue Murfreesboro shopping district. The community offers three home collections — Cambridge, Classic, and Grandview — across two builders, which gives a relocating buyer a genuine range of plans and price points to compare on a single visit rather than committing to one builder sight-unseen.

Who builds in Farmhouse Downs

Farmhouse Downs is a multi-builder community, with Lennar Homes and Meritage Homes both building single-family homes here. For a buyer, that mixed-builder setup is an advantage: you are not locked into one company's plan library, standard-feature list, or incentive structure, and you can walk two builders' model homes and quick-move-in inventory in the same community and compare them side by side.

The home collections offered here — Cambridge, Classic, and Grandview — span a range of plans and footprints, so the right fit depends on how much square footage you need, which homesites are open in the current phase, and which builder's standard features and incentives line up with your budget. Because we tour new-construction communities like this constantly, we help buyers read across both builders' offerings — comparing what comes standard, what is an upgrade, and how the incentives actually pencil out — at little or no cost to you. Builder participation and the specific collections open for sale shift as a community sells through its phases, so it is always worth confirming the current builder and collection for a specific homesite before you plan a trip.

Homes & floor plans

Farmhouse Downs is single-family new construction. The Cambridge Collection is currently selling from $399,990, with homes offering 3 to 4 bedrooms and ranging from about 1,673 to 2,460 finished square feet. Alongside Cambridge, the Classic and Grandview collections give the community additional plan options across the two builders. Lot sizes vary by phase and section; the December 2025 Phase 4 approval platted roughly 13.01 acres into 24 lots, which gives a sense of the homesite density in the newer sections.

Because specific floor plans, standard features, and lot dimensions change by builder, collection, and phase, the most reliable way to see the current menu is on the builders' own community pages for Farmhouse Downs (Lennar and Meritage each publish their available plans, quick-move-in homes, and current pricing for this community). Treat the figures above as the shape of the market here rather than a fixed catalog, and let us pull the live, plan-by-plan numbers for you before you build or write an offer.

Amenities & community life

Farmhouse Downs is built as a master-planned community with shared amenities rather than a bare collection of lots. The amenity set includes a swimming pool, a pickleball court, a dog park, walking trails, a clubhouse, and park areas woven through the neighborhood.

• Swimming pool
• Pickleball court
• Dog park
• Walking trails
• Clubhouse
• Park areas

Day to day, that mix supports the kind of walkable, amenity-anchored living new-construction buyers look for: trails and park areas for getting outside close to home, a clubhouse and pool as a gathering point, and a dog park and pickleball court for everyday recreation. As with any community still in active build-out, some amenities may be phased in alongside the homes, so confirm which are complete and open when you tour.

Location, access & schools

Farmhouse Downs is located off Haven Drive on the south side of Murfreesboro (map address 2813 Haven Drive, Murfreesboro, TN 37127), with interior streets including Gleaning Court and Risda Drive. It sits near Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and The Avenue Murfreesboro, the city's main open-air shopping and dining center, putting day-to-day retail, restaurants, and the university within a short drive. The community is also adjacent to the Farmhouse multifamily project, a 288-unit development by the same overall plan, and the area has seen active infrastructure work — including a traffic signal installed in May 2026 — as the surrounding road network builds out to match the new rooftops.

For schools, Farmhouse Downs is zoned to Black Fox Elementary School, Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School, and Siegel High School. School zoning can change with district boundary adjustments, especially in a fast-growing area, so confirm the current assignment for a specific homesite with Rutherford County Schools before you buy.

What to verify before you buy

Farmhouse Downs is an active, phased community, which means the details that matter most to your offer move week to week. Before you write, confirm the current items below with us so the numbers in front of you are live, not last quarter's:

• Current pricing and available quick-move-in inventory for the collection you want (Cambridge, Classic, or Grandview) — we pull live numbers directly from the builders for you.
• Which phase and section is releasing now, and which homesites are actually open, since Phase 4 and later releases come online over time.
• The lot you are considering — size, orientation, and any premium — because lot dimensions vary by phase and section.
• The HOA: current dues, what they cover, and which amenities are complete versus still being phased in.
• Current builder incentives and which builder (Lennar or Meritage) is building the specific home or homesite you are looking at.

We confirm all of this against the builders' live information before you commit, so you are never deciding off a stale listing.
