About Franklin's Avalon

The Avalon is where Old England meets Cool Springs Real Estate, north of Franklin, Tennessee. The spacious 645-acre development of estate homes, condominiums, townhouses, and natural woodlands extends the eastern end of Cool Springs Boulevard to McEwen Lane, with Wilson Pike as the property's eastern boundary.

The Avalon is located off Interstate 65, east of the Franklin Marriott Conference Center, the development is 96 seconds and 1,500 years from the Cool Springs shopping area. Avalon and Avalon Square are, just east of the Cool Springs retail area.

The main entrance to Avalon is east of Cool Springs Boulevard and north of McEwen Drive. The property of Avalon has definitely a lot of character. As you drive through the natural hills and valleys, you can envision the legendary paradise of King Arthur and his loyal knights. Trails and roads were created as they seemed to most naturally occur as of something mystical, like coming out of Sherwood Forest -- thus the name Avalon. The natural beauty of the land evokes that same sense of peaceful tranquility.

In developing the land plan and plotting lots, the developer approached the land with a degree of reverence. More than 300 acres of the 645-acre development will be left untouched in its natural state, in order to ensure the peaceful coexistence of humanity and wildlife. There are wild turkeys and deer living in the natural, park-like habitat as well as countless species of birds.

Avalon is not a place for a golf course, a clubhouse, tennis courts, or a country club pool. The amenity here is miles and miles of trails for walking and biking -- the things of nature.

Avalon offers the feeling of a quiet location removed from the fast pace of urban living, yet it is still positioned in the middle of all the conveniences of Cool Springs. A total of 446 units, ranging in price from $250,000 to more than $3-million, will grace the landscape. The acreage is divided into five distinct neighborhoods for of which are gated communities, and are zoned for Williamson County schools including Ravenwood High School.

The Meade of Avalon offers 257 units from $290,000 to $475,000 located on the property's eastern edge bounded by Wilson Pike and McEwen Drive. This community will feature townhomes, neo-traditional-style homes and single-family homes. On the western portion of the property there are two sections bordering Cool Springs Boulevard. The Village of Avalon contains 42 units, ranging from $450,000 to $600,000 and The Hamlet of Avalon has 41 units priced from $650,000 to $800,000. The lots are generally one-third acre in size.

The residents of both The Hamlet and The Village know they reside in a very special place. A brook crosses through both neighborhoods and magnificent stone monuments will complement the community entrances. In the middle of the prized land is The Vale of Avalon comprised of 51 units, priced from $800,000 to $1,800,000 and exclusive The Tors of Avalon are priced from $800,000 to over $3-million.

These homes are nestled in the woods on spacious lots maximizing privacy, views and the natural habitat. Avalon is something special that you will not find anywhere else. Once you enter the main gate, you will have the sense that you are in the middle of the wilderness, or you feel like you're living in a State Park -- except that you're just minutes away from Cool Springs and everything it has to offer.

Wordless Wednesday - Sometimes it's nice just to sit outside and take it easy, or is this inside. It's hard to say, take your pick, but you can see that this is a relaxing place to spend the evening.
