What if you could escape the grind and reconnect with the wild every day.

We share your passion for the pristine wilderness of Foster Falls and the South Cumberland State Park—it’s why we’re here. Our 78-residence community is designed with minimal footprint: 60% of the site remains preserved as open green space, with no-clearing easements along park boundaries to protect habitats for local flora and fauna. All construction follows the latest green building standards, using project management methodology that reduces trips and deliveries while maximizing labor safety and efficiency. Select homes will feature low-impact modular techniques that reduce site disturbance by 40% compared to traditional builds. We will use an environmental engineering firm to perform ongoing monitoring, including water quality testing in nearby streams. Early consultations with environmental groups ensured our trails will traverse the area without encroaching on sensitive areas.

The property was acquired with full awareness of its prior zoning for agricultural uses, including potential poultry operations, which we viewed as an opportunity to reimagine it as a sustainable residential haven rather than industrial agriculture. To ensure site development best practices, we enlisted and retained local geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, wetland experts, water quality experts, and fire suppression experts. Our rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved unanimously by Marion County commissioners in 2024 after rigorous public hearings, environmental impact assessments, and input from over 50 locals. We selected this adjacency to Foster Falls not to compete with the park, but to amplify its magic—residents will enjoy daily life immersed in the splendor of the Cumberland Plateau–turning everyday life into effortless adventure.

We anticipate light impacts, given our small scale (fewer than 80 residences at build-out) and focus on remote-friendly lifestyles that minimize daily commutes. A traffic study commissioned to analyze our impact projects less than 5% added volume on Highway 41, with off-peak construction scheduling and no-cut-through roads to preserve quiet rural routes. Water and utilities draw from existing county infrastructure with built-in redundancies—no major expansions needed.

Sustainability isn’t an add-on—it’s our core philosophy, inspired by buyers who demand durable, planet-positive homes. Our design-build process uses recycled, regionally sourced materials (e.g., FSC-certified Tennessee hardwoods) and select models employ offsite modular construction on the room internal structure to cut waste by 70% and emissions by 50%. Homes can feature a wide range of earth-friendly, net-zero energy options like solar arrays, rainwater harvesting, and permeable surfaces to prevent runoff. We’ve committed to a “no-harm” biodiversity plan and conserving wildlife corridors. At Woodland Preserve at Foster Falls, we will set a new standard for highest and best use development.

Tennessee’s wilderness spirit is what drew us here, and we’re dedicated to being a true neighbor. We’ve allocated 75% of contracts to local sub contractors and suppliers, creating 150+ local jobs during construction and ongoing maintenance roles. Prospective buyers are invited to participate in visioning sessions and will help shape shared amenities.
