Foxland Harbor

Foxland Harbor is one of the few communities in Middle Tennessee where the lake and the golf course are the same backyard. It runs along roughly three miles of Old Hickory Lake shoreline in Gallatin, wrapped around an 18-hole championship course, and it's planned so that a townhome buyer and a custom-estate buyer can both find a place inside the same gates. That range — high-$200s townhomes up to lakefront estates north of $1M — is the whole point of the place, and it's also the thing worth understanding before you fall for any single section.

What gives Foxland Harbor its character is the amenity base that came with the land rather than a builder's spec sheet. There's a historic clubhouse mansion with the Foxland Southern Grill, a lakeside swimming pool, boat docks, and a fitness center. The golf course is now one of two 18-hole courses operated under Tennessee Grasslands Golf & Country Club following the 2018 merger with neighboring Fairvue Plantation — so when people here talk about 'the club,' they're talking about a larger operation than the Foxland name alone.

Where it sits

Foxland Harbor is in Gallatin, in Sumner County, on the northeast side of the Nashville metro — roughly 25 minutes from downtown depending on where you're headed and the time of day. Gallatin sits along the top edge of Old Hickory Lake, and this community claims one of the longer stretches of that shoreline, with about three miles of frontage. If lake life is the draw, this is real water access, not a marketing flourish: there are boat docks on site, and roughly three miles of Old Hickory Lake frontage along this stretch of shoreline.

Gallatin generally trades a slightly longer commute than the closer-in Sumner towns for more lake access at more reasonable price points — the trade-off that brings a lot of buyers north of the river in the first place. Foxland Harbor is the upper end of that Gallatin lake market, where the amenity package and the golf frontage push values above the county's interior neighborhoods.

The homes here

This is a multi-builder, multi-product community, which is unusual and worth keeping straight. The home types span single-family, townhomes, villas, condos, and full custom — and the builders on record here are Meritage Homes, Drees Homes, and Goodall Homes. The sections are distinct enough that 'Foxland Harbor' alone won't tell you what you're buying; the section name will.

• The Fairways — Meritage Homes single-family, the more attainable end of the community.
• Revery Point — luxury lakefront townhomes that start in the high $200s.
• The Estates — custom lakefront and golf-course homes, ranging from $600K to over $1M, with lakefront homesites available.
• Drees Homes sections, some with side-entry garages, and Goodall Homes product have also been built in the community.
• Villa product with exterior maintenance included — the lower-maintenance option for buyers who want lake-and-golf living without the yard work.

Floor plans across the sections run roughly 1,605 to 3,035 square feet, with golf-course frontage available in some sections and lakefront homesites in The Estates. As of 2026, the builder-published starting points are single-family from about $335K, estates from $600K to over $1M, and townhomes starting in the high $200s — confirm current pricing and availability, since new-construction numbers and lot inventory move section by section and month to month.

If a specific section or homesite matters to you, call us at 615-265-1000 and we'll pull what's actually available right now — what's released, what's under contract, and what the real out-the-door number looks like once lot premiums and the lake or golf frontage are priced in.

Who it fits

Foxland Harbor fits a buyer who wants the lake-and-golf lifestyle but isn't locked into one shape of house. The community's whole structure rewards people who know which version of that lifestyle they want.

• Lake-oriented buyers who want genuine Old Hickory Lake frontage and on-site boat docks rather than a community that merely sits 'near the water.'
• Golfers who want to live on or beside an 18-hole course and have the clubhouse, grill, and fitness center as part of the daily routine.
• Lower-maintenance buyers — the villa product with exterior maintenance included and the Revery Point townhomes suit anyone who wants the amenity life without owning a large yard or a private dock.
• Move-up and custom buyers at The Estates who want lakefront or golf-frontage land and a home built to their plan, at the top of the price range.

What to verify before you buy here

A waterfront golf community has a few moving parts that a standard subdivision doesn't, and most of these are answerable from objective public sources before you ever write an offer. This is the checklist we actually run.

• Dock and lake access — confirm in writing exactly what your specific homesite is entitled to. A 'lakefront' section, a community-dock arrangement, and a marina slip are three different things with three different cost and maintenance pictures.
• Army Corps of Engineers shoreline rules — Old Hickory Lake is a Corps-managed reservoir, so what's allowed on a given stretch of bank, and whether a dock permit transfers or could be newly permitted, is governed by the Corps, not the builder.
• Winter water level — see the shoreline in the off-season, not just at summer full pool, so you know what you're actually looking at year-round.
• Club and golf membership — the course operates under Tennessee Grasslands Golf & Country Club, so ask what membership is required or optional, what it costs, and what it includes. Living on the course is not the same as having access to it.
• HOA and maintenance scope — especially on villas and townhomes, read exactly what 'exterior maintenance included' covers and what the dues are, since this varies by section.
• Section-level pricing and lot premiums — builder-published 'from' prices are starting points; the real number depends on the section, the lot, and any lake or golf frontage. Confirm the current figure for the specific homesite.
• Property taxes and the next reassessment — Sumner County has its own rate, and lake-corridor reassessment cycles have shown meaningful changes; we'll walk you through the current bill and a realistic next-cycle estimate.
