Foxland Harbor

Foxland Harbor at a glance

Foxland Harbor is a master-planned golf-and-lake community in Gallatin, on the north shore of Old Hickory Lake within the Station Camp Creek arm — a wide creek-mouth bay in the lake's middle reach, not the open main channel. Spread across roughly 350 acres along about two-plus miles of shoreline, it grew up around the historic Foxland Manor (the 1836 Bellemont estate, later the Branham family's Foxland Hall horse farm, renovated in 2013–2014 into the community's clubhouse and dining anchor). You enter off Long Hollow Pike (Hwy 109), with SR-386 / Vietnam Veterans Parkway about five minutes away feeding toward I-65; the community describes roughly 25 minutes to Nashville, and mapping puts downtown closer to 35–45 minutes depending on traffic. Built out by The Godfrey Group across distinct sections, it mixes custom lakefront estates, single-family golf-frontage homes, townhomes, and the newer Revery Point condos and townhomes.

Here is the honest part most listings blur: Foxland Harbor is a lake community, but it is not uniformly waterfront. The lake relationship changes street by street. Revery Point sits on bluffs with true lake/river views (condos and townhomes, into seven figures for the largest units), and The Estates hold the custom homesites closest to the water with private-dock potential. But the bulk of the homes — The Fairways (Meritage), The Links and The Villas (Goodall), The Greens townhomes, and the Drees custom section — front the golf course or sit interior, a short walk or golf-cart ride from the water rather than on it. Old Hickory Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir, so even a true waterfront lot is not automatically dock-eligible: the community's own guidance says lakefront owners 'may be eligible' to install a dock through USACE permitting plus HOA approval, and 'not every waterfront lot qualifies.' Existing docks here tend to be shared structures (commonly four to six slips), so when a listing says 'private dock' it often means a private slip on a shared dock — and a permit does not transfer automatically; the new owner must apply to the Corps. One important update for any lake buyer: the long-promised community marina (a planned facility of roughly 184 to 258 slips, USACE-leased and approved by Gallatin) was reported scrapped by the developer in February 2026, so do not count on it as a delivered amenity. Always verify water access lot by lot.

On price, the spread is unusually wide because the product mix is wide — interior golf townhomes and lakefront condos are not the same market. Recent activity has clustered roughly in the $460,000s for entry townhomes up through golf-view single-family homes in the $700,000s to $1.05M, with a narrow lakefront tier (Revery Point condos and a handful of Estates/Drees custom lots) reaching seven figures and a few listings asking well into the $1M–$3.5M range. Most of the original builder inventory has sold out, so today's market is largely resale-driven and low-turnover, given the community's size. Foxland Harbor tends to draw move-up and luxury buyers who want golf, a lake lifestyle, and proximity to both Gallatin and Nashville — including out-of-state buyers — without assuming every address is on the water.

Which lots actually reach the water

The single most important thing to understand about Foxland Harbor is that "on Old Hickory Lake" describes the community, not most of its homes. This is a master-planned community spread across roughly 350 acres on the north shore — specifically inside the Station Camp Creek arm, a wide creek-mouth bay rather than the open main channel — and the relationship to the water changes dramatically from one section to the next. Some lots are true private-shoreline lakefront. Others sit on bluffs with a commanding water view but no backyard shoreline. The majority back the championship golf course or sit interior, a short walk or golf-cart ride from a boat ramp. If you are buying here for the water, the section name and the specific lot matter far more than the community name.

Here is how the research breaks down by section. Treat this as a starting map, not a substitute for verifying the exact parcel — even within a "lakefront" section, individual lots differ.

Section-by-section lake relationship

• The Estates — the closest thing to true waterfront. These are the largest custom homesites, marketed as backing to Old Hickory Lake with lake view and access, and they are where USACE-permitted private docks are physically possible. Important caveat: dock eligibility is lot-specific, not guaranteed for every Estates lot.
• Albatross Way (and lake-marketed streets like Boardwalk Place) — dockable lakefront, but read the dock language carefully. A verified listing on Albatross Way advertises a "new SHARED dock with your own private slip" — an 11x25 slip with a 7,500 lb lift and two jet-ski ports. That is a private SLIP on a shared structure, not a free-standing private dock on owned shoreline. Agent sources note Foxland lakefront lots were approved for dock permits around 2014, with most docks sharing four to six slips.
• Revery Point — lake VIEW, not private dock. This newest section is luxury condos and townhomes (roughly 1,535 to 3,300+ sq ft, penthouses into seven figures) sitting on bluffs overlooking the water. Owners get the view and orientation, but not a private backyard slip; water access here is via shared/community docking rather than owned shoreline.
• The Fairways (Meritage), The Links and The Villas (Goodall), The Greens (golf townhomes), and the Drees custom section — NOT waterfront. These back the golf course or sit interior. An aggregator describes the single-family homes on Vinings Boulevard and Foxland Boulevard as not directly on the water — a short walk or golf-cart ride from the ramp. Buyers wanting water should not assume these reach the shoreline.
• The community marina that was supposed to solve docking for everyone else is, as of now, off the table. The planned ~184–258 slip Foxland Harbor Marina — a separate commercial project, never a delivered amenity — was scrapped/suspended by the developer in February 2026, despite a USACE lease and Gallatin City Council approval, with the developer stating it "could not achieve a workable plan." Reporting notes residents had been promised a private dock since the neighborhood launched around 2008. Do not count on a community marina as an existing or guaranteed amenity; re-verify its status before purchase.

Why "verify the lot" is not boilerplate here: Old Hickory Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir. Private upland ownership does not by itself grant dock rights — federal ownership, flowage easements, and lake-specific USACE policy (which can change) govern what can be placed on the shoreline. Foxland's own community guide is explicit: lakefront owners MAY be eligible to install private docks through the USACE permitting process, subject to HOA approval, and "not every waterfront lot qualifies." So for any lot you are serious about, you need three things confirmed in writing before you assume dock rights: (1) whether the lot carries an existing, transferable USACE dock permit or shared-slip assignment — note that a prior owner's permit is not automatically transferred, the new owner must apply to the Corps; (2) if no dock exists, whether shoreline allocation and setbacks would allow a new one; and (3) HOA approval.

Docks & the Army Corps reality

Old Hickory Lake is a federal reservoir managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nashville District, and that single fact governs everything about docks at Foxland Harbor. Owning a waterfront lot does not, by itself, give you the right to build or keep a dock. The Corps controls what can be placed on federal project land and the submerged area below the shoreline, dock eligibility depends on a lot's shoreline allocation and setbacks, and those policies are lake-specific and can change. The community's own guide says it plainly: lakefront owners *may* be eligible to install a private dock through the USACE permitting process, subject to HOA approval, and "not every waterfront lot qualifies." Just as important for resale, a dock permit is not automatically transferred when a property sells — the new owner has to apply to the Corps in their own name. An existing dock on the shoreline is not a guarantee that you inherit the right to use or rebuild it.

On the ground at Foxland Harbor, the dock picture is narrower than the marketing suggests, and it varies by section. The lots where a USACE-permitted dock is physically possible are the true lakefront homesites — The Estates and certain custom lakefront parcels along streets like Albatross Way. Even there, the model is largely a *shared* dock with an assigned private slip rather than a free-standing dock on your own shoreline: agent sources indicate Foxland's lakefront lots were approved for dock permits around 2014, with most docks sharing roughly four to six slips. One verified listing on Albatross Way described a new shared dock with a private 11x25 slip, a 7,500-lb lift, and two jet-ski ports — so when a listing says "private dock," it often means a private *slip on a shared structure*. The bluff-top Revery Point condos and townhomes overlook the water but do not come with private backyard docks, and The Greens, Fairways, Links, and Drees golf-frontage homes are interior or course-facing rather than waterfront. There is one more caution that matters here more than at most lake communities: the large "Foxland Harbor Marina" that was long pitched as the shared-slip answer for owners without a private lake lot was a separate commercial project, and the developer suspended it in February 2026. So do not count on a community marina as a delivered amenity — if boat storage is the goal, the current options are the limited existing shared docks or off-site marinas, and the status of anything beyond that needs to be re-verified before you buy.

The market here

Foxland Harbor doesn't trade as one market — it trades as several stacked on the same ~350 acres, and the price you see depends entirely on what the property's relationship to the water and the golf course actually is. At the top sit the true lakefront pieces: a handful of custom Estates homesites that back to Old Hickory Lake and the lakefront condos and townhomes at Revery Point, where units have closed into seven figures. Below that is the bulk of the resale market — single-family homes along Vinings Boulevard and Foxland Boulevard with golf-course frontage or interior lots (recent golf-view sales have run roughly $675K to just over $1.05M). The floor is set by the attached product: The Greens townhomes on Cape Private Circle, which have changed hands in the low-to-mid $400s to low $500s. That spread is why a single price-per-square-foot number for "Foxland Harbor" is close to meaningless here — reported figures range from the high-$100s to the high-$400s per square foot purely because of product mix, not because one comparable tier moved.

Two things shape the read more than the headline numbers. First, turnover is low and the active list is small — this is a finite community where most original builder inventory (The Greens, The Links, The Villas, the Drees custom section) is sold out, so the market is now resale-driven and a handful of listings can swing the averages. Because of that, we treat current active inventory, asking prices, and days-on-market as live data we pull from RealTracs the day you're serious, not as static figures — a single high-end lakefront listing or a stray lease posting can distort any snapshot you find online. Second, and this matters for value: the long-promised ~184–258 slip community marina that supported the "lake lifestyle" pricing story was scrapped by the developer in February 2026 despite an earlier USACE lease and city approval. A smaller shared dock with private slips was added in 2024 (one Albatross Way listing advertised an 11x25 slip with a lift), but anyone buying here partly for guaranteed boat storage should price that amenity as unresolved, not delivered — and verify the specific lot's dock or slip rights in writing before assuming them. We'll talk through exactly how that affects what a given home is worth.

The HOA & what it covers

Foxland Harbor is a master-planned community of several product types, and the HOA structure reflects that — dues vary widely by what you own. Third-party aggregator figures put single-family dues roughly in the $25–$360/month range, attached townhomes around $275–$475/month, and the Revery Point high-rise condos near $769/month (an annual spread cited as wide as $300 to about $9,200). Treat those as ballpark numbers, not gospel: they come from secondary sources rather than the recorded HOA budget, and the HOA's own FAQ page was unreachable during our research. The general pattern is what you'd expect — attached-home dues fold in exterior maintenance, landscaping, irrigation, and sometimes exterior insurance, while single-family dues are lower because the owner carries more of their own upkeep. Community amenities (clubhouse, fitness center, pool, and the walking trails/tennis cited by aggregators but not confirmed on the official site) are funded through the HOA. The community was developed by The Godfrey Group, LLC.

Golf and club membership appear to be optional and priced separately from the base HOA fee for most owners — but two things deserve a hard look before you buy. First, golf communities sometimes attach a mandatory minimum (a social, food, or membership floor) to specific sections, so confirm in writing whether your section carries any required club membership. Second, the on-site golf amenity has a branding/ownership history worth verifying in person: the legacy 'Foxland Harbor Golf and Country Club' is no longer in operation, and the operating course is now run under the Tennessee Grasslands Golf and Country Club (Foxland Links Course) brand. Don't assume the club a listing names is the entity actually operating today, or that its advertised membership terms still apply.

What to request before you buy

• The current, recorded HOA dues for your specific section — from the HOA itself, not a listing — plus exactly what those dues cover and any pending or special assessments.
• The full CC&Rs / declaration, including leasing and short-term-rental rules, which none of our sources addressed and which can vary by section.
• Whether any mandatory club, social, or food-minimum membership is tied to ownership in your section, separate from the base HOA fee.
• The current operating, membership, and dues status of the on-site golf club under the Tennessee Grasslands brand — confirmed directly, given the rebrand.
• For any waterfront or lake-access lot, written confirmation of dock/slip rights and that the HOA approves your intended dock — separate from, and on top of, the USACE permit (covered above).

Amenities & community life

Foxland Harbor is built around an amenity package most Old Hickory Lake communities can't match, anchored by a championship golf course and a restored 1830s estate mansion. The course was designed by Bill Bergin and, with the historic clubhouse, lakeside swimming pool, and fitness center, is listed on the community's own neighborhoods page. The clubhouse itself is a piece of Sumner County history: built around 1836 as the Bellemont estate, later the Branhams' Foxland Hall thoroughbred farm, and renovated in 2013 before reopening as the community's clubhouse and dining room. That heritage is a real part of daily life here, not just a logo on the gate.

One thing to get straight before you fall for a listing: the golf club has rebranded. The legacy "Foxland Harbor Golf and Country Club" is now operated as Tennessee Grasslands Golf and Country Club (the Foxland Links course), which also runs the adjacent Fairvue Lakes course — 45 holes across the broader club. A few sources still flag the old club name as closed. If a listing leans on the "on-site country club," confirm with us which entity is actually operating, what membership tiers and dues look like today, and whether any food or social minimum applies. Club membership appears to be optional for most owners and is structured separately from your base HOA dues — but in a golf community that's always worth getting in writing for your specific section.

What the research confirms (and what to verify)

• Confirmed on the official site: 18-hole golf course, historic clubhouse mansion (with dining), lakeside swimming pool, and fitness center.
• Cited by aggregators but not confirmed on the official pages: tennis courts and walking trails — likely, but ask us to confirm before you count on them.
• A community boat ramp sits just outside the entrance, giving quick access to the Station Camp Creek arm; Gallatin Marina is roughly 10 minutes away by car.
• Gated status is asserted by some listing sites but is not confirmed on the official community site — verify the actual gate/access arrangement with the HOA, and note gating may be section-specific rather than community-wide.
• This is a general-market luxury community, not an age-restricted (55+) one, despite one retirement-directory listing.

Community life splits naturally by section. The Greens, The Fairways, The Links, The Villas, and the Drees custom homes back the golf course and offer attached-home, low-maintenance living (exterior upkeep, landscaping, and irrigation are typically bundled into those higher HOA dues). The Estates are the larger custom lakefront-oriented homesites, and Revery Point is the newest section — luxury condos and townhomes set on bluffs over the water. HOA dues vary widely by product type as a result; the figures circulating online are third-party estimates rather than the recorded budget, so confirm current dues for your exact section before you write an offer.

Schools

Foxland Harbor is served by Sumner County Schools. For middle and high school, most listing sources for this Gallatin (37066) area place the community in the Station Camp zone — Station Camp Middle School and Station Camp High School, with the high school roughly ten minutes away. That is the most consistent finding across sources, but it comes from real-estate aggregators rather than the district's own zone-finder, so treat it as a strong starting point and not a final answer.

The elementary assignment is genuinely unsettled. Different sources variously cite Jack Anderson Elementary (which is physically in Hendersonville), Station Camp Elementary (Gallatin), and Howard Elementary (Gallatin) for addresses in this area — and we have seen at least one case where a nearby subdivision's listing was mis-tagged with the wrong school entirely. Because zoning is assigned by exact address and can change with attendance-line revisions, we are not going to name a single elementary for the whole community. Confirm the zoned elementary for any specific Foxland Harbor address before you write an offer. We do not list school ratings; school performance and rankings are easy to look up independently and we encourage you to do your own research.

Location & getting around

Where it sits on Old Hickory Lake

Foxland Harbor occupies the north shore of Old Hickory Lake in Gallatin, tucked into the Station Camp Creek embayment — a wide creek-mouth bay in the lake's middle reach rather than the open main channel. The community spreads across roughly 350 acres and more than two miles of shoreline, with the golf-club and Foxland Manor hub at about 1445 Foxland Boulevard. Worth saying plainly: only part of the community actually touches the water. Revery Point (the lakefront condos and townhomes) and select Estates homesites have true lake orientation, while most single-family homes along Vinings Boulevard and Foxland Boulevard sit a short walk or golf-cart ride from the water, not on it. A community boat ramp sits just outside the entrance for getting onto Station Camp Creek, and Gallatin Marina is roughly ten minutes by car (about five by boat). From here it's a relaxed cruise of around 20 boat-miles down to the Nashville dam. One caution to keep in mind: the long-promised, separately developed Foxland Harbor Marina (the large public slip facility off Douglas Bend Road) was scrapped by its developer in February 2026, so don't count any community marina slips as a delivered amenity — ask us for the current status before you plan boat storage around it.

Commute, airport, and hospital

You enter via Foxland Drive off Long Hollow Pike (Highway 109), and SR-386 / Vietnam Veterans Parkway — the limited-access spine that feeds I-65 toward the city — is roughly five minutes away. Plan on about 35 to 45 minutes to downtown Nashville (around 29 miles) and a similar 40-plus minutes to Nashville International Airport (BNA), traffic depending; the historic Gallatin square is about ten minutes the other direction. For care, the nearest full hospital and 24/7 ER is Highpoint Health – Sumner (formerly Sumner Regional Medical Center) at 555 Hartsville Pike in Gallatin, roughly 10 to 15 minutes out, and a second freestanding ER, Highpoint Health – Sumner Station, sits at 225 Big Station Camp Boulevard with quick access off SR-386 on the Hendersonville side. Utilities here are standard Gallatin/Sumner County service — public water and sewer, Piedmont natural gas, electric via NES or CEMC depending on the address, and internet through AT&T Fiber or Xfinity — but confirm the exact providers and the school zone for any specific address (Sumner County Schools, district InfoFinder or (615) 451-5200) before you write an offer. For listings or a tour, reach The Will Johnson Team at 615-265-1000.

History & character

Foxland Harbor wears its history on its sleeve, because the heart of the community is a mansion that predates it by nearly two centuries. The estate house was built around 1836 near Station Camp Creek as "Bellemont" by Thomas Anderson Baber and Lucy Ann Trevelian Baber, on a tract of roughly 350 acres that grew to nearly 1,000 by the mid-1840s. John D. Goss acquired the horse farm in 1862, and in about 1910 John Mabry Branham and Laura Stratton Branham bought the property, renamed it "Foxland Hall," and ran it as a thoroughbred racing stable and fox kennel across some 500 acres. That horse-farm legacy is where the "Foxland" name comes from. The mansion was renovated in 2013 and reopened as the community's clubhouse, taking the name Foxland Manor in 2014. (history)

The modern residential community is far younger than the house at its center. The current build-out has been led by The Godfrey Group as developer and sales entity, with development beginning around 2014 and homes delivered through roughly 2023 across a master plan of several hundred acres on the north shore of Old Hickory Lake in Gallatin. (It's worth keeping the timelines straight: the original golf-plantation development — the course on this side dates to 2007 — predates the Godfrey-led residential phase, so "era built" depends on which you mean.) The result is a master-planned golf-and-lake community made up of distinct sections — Revery Point, The Estates, The Fairways, The Links, The Greens, The Villas, and a Drees custom section — rather than one uniform tract, with the historic Manor anchoring its identity.

Buying a lake home here from out of state

Buying into Foxland Harbor from another state is very doable, but the order of operations matters more here than at most communities. Start with a live video walk-through: we tour the specific home, the street, and the actual water relationship on camera, because at Foxland the lake story changes block to block. Only a handful of sections genuinely reach the water (Revery Point's bluff condos and townhomes, and the custom lakefront homesites in The Estates), while The Fairways, The Links, The Greens, The Villas and the Drees section back the golf course or sit interior. We will show you, on video, whether the listing in front of you is true private shoreline, a lake view, a shared-slip arrangement, or simply a short golf-cart ride from the public ramp, so 'lake home' means the same thing to you that it does on the recording.

For anyone buying for the water, the single most important step is verifying the dock before you fall in love with the listing. Old Hickory Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir, and federal shoreline policy, not the seller or the HOA, controls what can go in the water; the community's own guidance is explicit that lakefront owners 'may be eligible' for a private dock through the USACE permitting process subject to HOA approval, and that not every waterfront lot qualifies. On top of that, an existing dock's permit does not transfer automatically with the sale, the new owner must apply to the Corps in their own name, and the docks here are frequently shared structures (one verified listing on Albatross Way describes a new shared dock with a private 11x25 slip, a boat lift and jet-ski ports). So before you write an offer we confirm in writing, for that exact parcel, whether it holds a transferable USACE permit or an assigned shared slip, whether shoreline allocation and setbacks would allow a new dock if none exists, and that HOA approval is attainable. One related caution worth knowing up front: the long-promised community marina that was meant to provide slips for non-waterfront owners was scrapped by the developer in February 2026, so do not count on a future community slip as your boat-storage plan, we verify current status case by case.

From there the rest of the relocation is standard but still worth doing right at this price point. We line up a thorough home inspection (and, on the older custom and lakefront product, the items that matter near water). We pull a per-parcel FEMA flood-zone check, because flood-zone status and the insurance quote that follows it can vary lot to lot along the shoreline, and we get you a real insurance estimate before your contingencies expire rather than after. Closings in Tennessee can be handled remotely, so you do not need to fly in to sign. And to be clear on cost: we represent buyers in Foxland Harbor at no cost to you, including in new construction, and because our team tours these communities constantly we can be your eyes on the ground between your visits.

Who it fits

Foxland Harbor fits a buyer who wants the lake as the backdrop to daily life more than the deed to their own slice of shoreline. Because the community is built across distinct sections, the right fit depends heavily on which one you choose. If you want golf out the back door, a maintained yard or an attached home, and a short walk or golf-cart ride to the boat ramp, the single-family streets like Vinings Boulevard and Foxland Boulevard, the townhomes around Cape Private Circle, and the Fairways/Links/Greens product are squarely aimed at you — these are interior or golf-frontage homes, not private shoreline, and they suit someone who values the resort-style setting (clubhouse in the historic Foxland Manor, pool, fitness, and the on-site course now operating as Tennessee Grasslands) over owning water frontage. Revery Point, the bluff-top condos and townhomes on Club View Drive, fits a lock-and-leave buyer who wants genuine lake views and lighter exterior upkeep at a higher HOA tier (aggregator figures suggest roughly $769/month for that section — confirm current dues), without the maintenance of a custom home or the responsibility of a dock.

It fits less well for the buyer whose non-negotiable is a private dock in their own backyard, or who is counting on a guaranteed community marina slip. The truly dockable lots are concentrated in The Estates and select custom lakefront homesites, dock eligibility is decided lot-by-lot through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Old Hickory is a USACE reservoir, not every waterfront lot qualifies, and an existing permit doesn't transfer automatically — the new owner must apply), and most existing docks here are shared structures where a 'private dock' really means a private slip on a shared dock. Just as important: the large Foxland Harbor Marina that was meant to give non-waterfront owners slip access was scrapped by the developer in February 2026 despite earlier USACE and city approvals, so anyone relying on that amenity should treat it as unresolved, not delivered. If owning your own shoreline and dock is the whole point, you'll want us to verify, in writing, that a specific Estates lot carries transferable dock rights — or you may be happier on a different stretch of Old Hickory. Foxland Harbor also won't suit a buyer set on a verified gated or age-restricted community, since gating is unconfirmed at the primary level and this is a general-market community, not 55+.
