A neighborhood built around a
working farm
A cohousing community 30 minutes west of Nashville. 36 homes. 17 acres of protected land including a farm and wooded conservation areas. You own your home. You shape the neighborhood together. And a professional farmer grows food right outside your door.
Imagine walking out your door to 3 acres of working farmland surrounded by 14 acres of wooded conservation land. Fresh food growing steps away. Trails, areas for kids to pitch tents, open space. Land that's protected, not paved over. Want to help with the harvest? Great. Prefer to just enjoy the view and eat the tomatoes? Also great. It's community built around the land, not just next to it. A place where you know your neighbors, share everyday life, and come together.
Because that's what life here is all about.
We are looking for new founding members!
Founding members are the first 14 households to commit to Burns Village. They get to shape home designs, the common house, and neighborhood layout. They also get first choice of home sites and our best pricing. We're at 8 right now. Once we hit 14, the design locks and the next phase begins. After that, new members choose from what's already been decided.
This is your chance to be part of something special. Burns Village & Farm is a warm, multigenerational community that welcomes people of all ages, backgrounds, and family types.
Not just a development. Not just a neighborhood.
When you combine the farm, the land, and a community built around knowing your neighbors, the result is something a typical housing development was never designed to offer. Here are just some of the differences.
What will it look like?
Here is just some of what we’re planning. And you can still have a part in those decisions if you become a founding member.
Cohousing in the Age of Climate Change
Burns Village is a community designed for a long, good life on land that produces food. A lot of people find us because they're thinking a few steps ahead about food, land, and where they want to be when the wider world feels less steady.
A few reasons Burns Village fits:
Food grown on site. Three acres of organic farmland, run by an experienced farmer. Members get access to what's grown.
Inland geography. Middle Tennessee is away from coasts, hurricanes, and sea level rise. Wildfire risk is a fraction of what it is in the West.
Water access. We sit in the Cumberland River basin, one of the most water-rich regions in the country.
Protected land. Fourteen acres of nature around the farm stays as it is. No development, no sell-offs.
A community that functions. Neighbors who share meals, notice when something's off, and show up when it matters.
Homes starting at $360,000
For comparison, a typical Nashville home runs $450K+ and all you get is a house. Here, your investment includes:
Your own private home on 17 acres of protected land
Ownership stake in the farm and common house
Fresh organic produce from the land
A shared Common House for meals and gatherings
Neighbors who actually know your name
