Suburban living with extensive green space and amenities

Situated just over a mile from the serene waters of Percy Priest Lake, The County is a neighborhood that blends modern conveniences with suburban living. “This community is in a beautiful area. It is quiet but at the same time, close to all the action,” says Michele Batson, a Realtor with Benchmark Realty LLC, who has 28 years of experience. Here one can come home to green spaces and starlit night skies. The neighborhood is far enough from downtown Nashville for families and individuals seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life but close enough for people to commute for work and pleasure. There is plenty to do in the local area. State parks and outdoor activities abound. A limited number of homes in The Country means that residents tend to know each other and there is a close-knit community vibe.

From ranch-style homes to brick colonials

Homes in the neighborhood range from $280,000 for a ranch-style home to $425,000 for a brick colonial. Most houses in The Country are single-family homes built between the 1980s and early 2000s. Housing styles range from ranches to colonials to Craftsman homes. It’s a quiet community of winding residential roads, homes with neat lawns and private driveways. Many houses have attached garages. Expect to see dog walkers, bicycle riders and kids playing basketball on the quiet streets and cul-de-sacs.

“The Country is in Davidson County, which is undergoing revitalization. There have been a lot of updates in the retail and restaurant industries in nearby Antioch,” says Realtor Batson. “Tanger Outlets just opened this fall. The new outdoor shopping center is part of that revitalization, and it replaces Hickory Hollow Mall,” she adds. The outlet’s 60 stores are a 5-mile drive from The Country and include shops such as Micheal Kors, Crocs and the Pottery Barn. When it comes to groceries, Compton’s Foodland is just over a mile away. The small but well stocked grocer offers fresh fruits and vegetables and an inhouse butcher, bakery and deli.
