Since the Westhaven master-planned community began 20 years ago, Southern Land Co. has learned to be adaptable and flexible. By remaining responsive to residents’ feedback, Southern Land Co. has delivered a 1,500-acre master plan to blend its native middle Tennessee surroundings with a variety of home styles.

Builder/Developer: Southern Land Co.
Size: 1,500 acres
Location: Franklin, Tennessee

Each detail—including amenity spaces, a town center, green spaces, and a golf course—was carefully crafted to execute Westhaven’s everlasting commitment to foster a sense of community among its residents and the public. This intentionality is evident in every home, each of which features a front porch meant for gathering.

Homes in Westhaven range from 2,200 to 4,500 square feet and are priced from the mid-$900,000s to over $3 million. Meticulously landscaped streetscapes and sidewalks and strategically placed parks and green spaces promote walkability and encourage social interaction, reinforcing the community’s multigenerational appeal.
