About Fairvue Plantation
What to Know About Living in Fairvue Plantation
Fairvue Plantation transformed the grounds of Isaac Franklin's historic 1832 estate into a residential golf community that opened around 2004 on Old Hickory Lake in Gallatin. Today it spans hundreds of acres off the Hartsville Pike/Long Hollow Pike corridor and centers on the Fairvue Plantation Country Club, with an 18-hole championship golf course, clubhouse dining, a pool, tennis courts, and a fitness center. Homes range dramatically, from townhomes and villas in the low $300,000s to brick-and-stone estate homes and multimillion-dollar lakefront properties with private docks; recent sales have topped $6 million. Most of the community is commonly zoned to the well-regarded Station Camp school cluster (Sumner County Schools), while some western sections fall in the Gallatin Senior High zone. With its blend of golf, lake access, restored historic character, and proximity to Nashville, Fairvue remains one of the highest-profile addresses in Sumner County.
