South of Nashville, TN: Maury County’s Grandest Estates Currently For Sale
An English-inspired chapel, private riding trails, and even a helipad: Two Maury County estates, just south of Nashville, recently hit the market and may rewrite the record books for their sale prices. Take a look inside of each. Image: Andrew Keithly
In less than two weeks, two Middle Tennessee estates in Maury County, south of Nashville, came to market at prices that could rewrite the county’s record books.
It’s been a big few weeks for Maury County real estate. On October 22, Elham Valley, a 118-acre estate in Columbia, came to market at $19,995,000, an asking price that, if met, would make it the largest residential sale in county history. Then, less than two weeks later, Daisy’s Folly, a 397-acre equestrian estate in Spring Hill, listed for $29.5 million, raising the bar by nearly $10 million.
Neither has sold yet, but two listings at this level, back-to-back, got our attention. And with an English-inspired chapel at one and a music studio and helipad at the other, there’s plenty to explore beyond the price tags. Here’s a look at both.
Daisy’s Folly: $29.5 Million, Spring Hill, TN
Daisy’s Folly is a slice of the English countryside tucked into the rolling landscape of Spring Hill, with the space, privacy, and character to make staying home feel like a getaway.
Built for Horse Lovers
Built more than a decade ago, Daisy’s Folly was designed with the horse lover in mind. At its heart is a 7,500-square-foot equestrian facility with seven stalls. Five paddocks each have their own mini barn, and miles of private riding trails wind across nearly 400 acres of sprawling Middle Tennessee land. A morning ride never has to leave the property.
The Manor and the Chapel
The English-inspired main residence features antique windows, limestone fireplaces, and reclaimed-wood beams — details that lend the home a sense of history. But the true showstopper is a replica of a 17th-century English countryside chapel, complete with antique pews and stained-glass windows. Whether you picture it as a quiet retreat or a spot for family gatherings, having a chapel of your own is hardly an everyday real estate find.
The Rest of the Estate
Beyond the main house, you’ll find a carriage house, a guest barndominium, a caretaker’s residence, and a 5,000-square-foot utility barn. Formal gardens and rolling pastures round out the estate, with sweeping views of the Middle Tennessee countryside.
Daisy’s Folly is co-listed by Walker Hoye and Dan McEwen of McEwen Group.
Elham Valley: $19,995,000, Columbia, TN
About 10 minutes from Leiper’s Fork, less than 25 minutes from downtown Franklin, and 45 minutes from Nashville, Elham Valley sits in a wooded valley with a European countryside feel. Where Daisy’s Folly is built around horses, Elham Valley is built around gathering points throughout the property.
A Compound for Family and Friends
The 5,574-square-foot, four-bedroom main residence sits on a wooded hillside overlooking a pond. A guest house, a guest cottage with a pool, a casita with an outdoor pavilion, a wellness center, and a car barn with a music studio are situated around it. Together, they add up to more than 17,000 square feet of living space — and plenty of room to invite everyone for the weekend. There’s even a helipad — because why not?
Room to Roam
Three stocked ponds, spring-fed creeks, natural springs, and walking trails give you plenty of reasons to spend the day outside. But though it feels like a luxe retreat, this property is also a working farm, with a large garden and a climate-controlled animal barn.
A Built-In Event Venue
Elham Valley is approved to host up to 30 events a year and includes bridal and groom suites, along with ceremony and reception spaces. For a buyer who likes the idea of sharing the setting, there’s an opportunity to make celebrations part of the property’s next chapter.
Elham Valley is co-listed by Dan McEwen of McEwen Group and Hannah Hayden of Zeitlin Sotheby’s International Realty.
