Willow Ridge

Willow Ridge is an upscale, low-density new-construction enclave in Nolensville, Tennessee, set on a 42-acre parcel at 2671 Sanford Road, roughly two miles from downtown Nolensville. With just 44 homes and no back-to-back homesites, it's designed as a quieter, spread-out community of large contemporary residences on sizable lots. The community opened on April 26, 2025, and as of that opening was actively selling, with homes starting at $1.2 million. New-construction pricing and availability move quickly, so we pull current numbers before you tour.

The builder and the homes

Willow Ridge is built by John Wieland Homes, a PulteGroup brand. The community features four contemporary single-family design plans, with homes ranging from 3,775 to more than 6,000 square feet. Floor plans offer up to 8 bedrooms and up to 7.5 baths, giving buyers room to spread out across multiple levels.

Premium structural and design features are part of what defines the homes here. Plans can include built-out basements, three-sided fireplaces, and multi-panel sliding doors that open interior living to the outdoors. Practical touches such as pet wash stations and smart-home capabilities round out the lineup. Homes carry Energy Star certification and come with a ten-year home warranty. Which features are standard versus optional upgrades varies by plan, so we recommend confirming the included-versus-upgrade list with the builder for the specific home you're considering.

Amenities and day-to-day living

Willow Ridge is a smaller community where the lots themselves do a lot of the work — homesites run up to 1.1 acres, and the no-back-to-back-homesites layout keeps the neighborhood feeling open. For shared amenities, the community includes a playground tot lot and accessible walking trails, giving residents space to get outside close to home. We always confirm the current amenity package and any phasing directly with the builder, since plans can evolve as a community builds out.

Location and getting around

Willow Ridge sits at 2671 Sanford Road in Nolensville, about two miles from downtown Nolensville. Because everyone's daily routine is different, the smartest way to judge a commute is to drive it yourself at your real departure time — a weekday morning run to your office, school, or the airport will tell you far more than any estimate. If you tell us where you head most often, we can help you map a realistic route and time it on a typical day.

Who Willow Ridge fits

Willow Ridge tends to suit buyers who want a large, single-family home with contemporary design and don't want to be packed in tight — the sizable lots up to 1.1 acres, the no-back-to-back-homesites layout, and the limited count of 44 homes all point toward space and privacy. Buyers drawn to premium structural features like built-out basements, three-sided fireplaces, and multi-panel sliding doors will find those built into the plans here. The playground tot lot and walking trails add everyday outdoor options without the scale of a large amenity-driven development. As always, the right fit depends on your priorities, and we're happy to walk through whether this community matches what you're after.
