The Reserves on Chester

The Reserves on Chester is a new-construction estate community in Fairview, Tennessee, built around a small, exclusive enclave of larger homesites on the western edge of Williamson County. Sited on 1-acre-plus lots, it sits at the top of the local price range and trades the density of a typical subdivision for room to spread out. If you've been looking for an estate-scale new home with acreage in Williamson County, this is one of the addresses worth touring in person.

The builder and the homes

The Reserves on Chester is being built by Drees Homes, a single builder for the community. That keeps the architecture and floor-plan menu cohesive across the enclave rather than mixing several builders' product lines. Drees opened its Belterra model home here, so you can walk a finished plan on site and see the level of finish before you commit to a build.

The homes are estate-sized single-family residences, with floor plans running roughly 3,599 to 5,177 square feet and configurations starting around 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The Belterra plan that anchors the model home is one of the larger options, at roughly 4,700-plus square feet with a 5-bed, 5-bath layout. Several plans offer optional lower-level or basement opportunities, which on these larger lots can add significant finished or future space. Because Drees builds to order, the exact mix of plans, elevations, and structural options can change as the community sells — confirm the current available plans and what's standard versus an upgrade directly with us or the on-site team.

Amenities and day-to-day living

The defining feature here isn't a clubhouse or a pool — it's the land. The Reserves on Chester is an exclusive enclave of 46 estate homesites, each on roughly an acre or more. That low homesite count and the generous lot sizes are the lifestyle: more separation between neighbors, more yard, and more flexibility in how you use the property. If a structured amenity package (pool, fitness, trails, common spaces) matters to you, ask us what is and isn't planned for this community before you decide, since amenity details can evolve as a development builds out.

Location and getting around

Fairview anchors the western side of Williamson County, and The Reserves on Chester puts you on larger acreage within reach of the area's main routes. Commute times are personal, though — they depend on exactly where you're driving and when you leave. Rather than trust a generic estimate, clock the drive yourself at your real departure time: map your actual commute to work, school, the airport, and the places you go each week, on a normal weekday at the hour you'd actually be leaving. We're happy to talk through the routes from this community and what they look like at peak times.

Who it fits

The Reserves on Chester is built for buyers who want an estate-scale new home with land. The 1-acre-plus lots and 3,600-to-5,100-plus-square-foot floor plans suit anyone who values space, separation, and the ability to build to order rather than buy off a shelf. The optional lower-level and basement opportunities give room to plan for additional finished space, a workshop, storage, or future expansion. With only 46 homesites at the upper end of the local price range, it fits buyers shopping the premium new-construction tier in Fairview who want acreage and a single, consistent builder.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing: this is a premium estate community, and new-construction pricing, phases, and availability move fast — rather than plan around a figure that may already be stale, have us pull the live starting point and range for you before you make any decisions.
• HOA dues and exactly what they cover (and what they don't) in this enclave.
• Lot specifics: which of the 46 homesites are still available, their actual acreage, grade, and any premiums, plus whether a given lot accommodates a lower-level or walkout basement.
• Builder warranty terms from Drees, and a clear, line-by-line look at what's included versus an upgrade on the plan you like.
• Build timeline: where a to-be-built home or any inventory home stands and a realistic completion window.
• Your real commute: map the drive at your actual departure time to the places you go most.
