COLLEGE GROVE, Tenn. – The Grove, a private residential community in Williamson County, is poised for another banner year after undergoing extraordinary growth in 2013.
With 10 residents already moved-in, activity continues to grow with seven custom homes and nine spec homes under construction, 18 homes in the design review process with plans for starting construction in the coming months, and 20 homesites pending in the next phase scheduled to close in April, 164 commitments to date. It is anticipated that 50 families’ will be calling The Grove home by year’s end.
The architectural styling at The Grove ranges from American farmhouse to French country and English romantic. Owners can purchase a move-in-ready home or work with one of eight Signature Builders to create their own design.
At the center of the community is the 33,000-square-foot Manor House. When complete, the Manor House will feature a full-service spa, men’s and ladies’ locker rooms, casual and fine-dining restaurants, and a bar with a wine cellar. Construction is slated to commence in the next couple of months and will be complete by the summer of 2015.
“Our sales continue to move at a solid pace, and we are very excited about the amenities we have created and those that soon will be under construction,” said Mark Enderle, a Leiper’s Fork resident and partner in the ownership group behind The Grove. “We have set out to build more than just a community; we are selling a lifestyle, which can be felt easily once you experience it firsthand.”
In 2013, 58 homesites and six homes were purchased, and a community garden was established; but perhaps the most noticeable addition has been the completion of the Sports Centre.
In addition to the Manor House, the community features a fitness center and movement studio, with a vast array of modern equipment and free weights; two swimming pools, one of which showcases a water slide as if it came straight from a scene in “George of the Jungle”; a dining and event lawn; an open-air grill; and, three tennis courts with plexicushion, the same surface used at the Australian Open.
