Marrowbone is a rural community at the edge of Davidson County
Just 10 miles from the neon buzz of Downtown Nashville, Marrowbone feels like a whole different world. While Nashville's suburbs keep sprawling outward with strip malls and subdivisions, this final frontier of Davidson County is all sweeping farmland and a laid-back community known for its local produce. Ranch-style homes and bigger estates come with roomy yards and plenty of privacy. You're close to fishing at Marrowbone Lake and trails at Beaman Park, plus family farms and small-town businesses.
Rustic acreage and midcentury homes near Nashville
Marrowbone is made up of rolling hills, sprawling farmland and rural properties. You’ll see plenty of midcentury ranch-style homes from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$500,000s. The occasional luxury house with expansive acreage can range from $700,000 to $4 million. Yards are often over an acre in size, and you might even see tracts of 20-plus acres, which is increasingly rare this close to a major city. “I’m in my own little world over here,” says Michael Allison, a resident for over 15 years and owner of the local business Nashville Glassblowing. “I think a lot of us are like that.” If you are looking to build a custom home, open lots go for $50,000 to the mid-$500,000s, depending on size and location. Prices and land availability are similar in nearby Joelton or Ashland City.
Many homes are smaller but have plenty of land surrounding them.

Remote living within a 30-minute drive of downtown Nashville
Homes here sit along winding two-lane roads or stay hidden down unpaved driveways. The region’s stark contrast to Nashville’s buzzing, urban atmosphere is intentional, Allison explains. “This area of Davidson County was developed last, so it’s not developed at all. And people want to keep it that way.” Because of the country feel, this area is entirely car-dependent, and you have to head over to Ashland City Highway or Clarksville Pike to head into the city. Depending on how remote your home is, the trip to downtown Nashville can be 10 to 15 miles, typically less than 30 minutes.
Career pathways and college credit at Whites Creek High School
Marrowbone is part of Metro Nashville Public Schools, one of the largest districts in Tennessee. Students are zoned for Whites Creek High School, which offers career pathways through the Academies of Nashville program and an Early College partnership with Nashville State Community College.
Haynes Middle School offers medical sciences courses.
Whites Creek High School has advanced academic courses.

Fishing at Marrowbone Lake and hiking at Beaman Park
You can step into your own backyard to feel surrounded by nature, but the Marrowbone area is also full of parks, creeks and trails. “A lot of locals like to go to Beaman Park, or Marrowbone Lake for fishing,” Allison says. “Even just taking drives through the country is so scenic.” Outdoor activities include:
Fishing for trout and largemouth bass at Marrowbone Lake
Exploring Beaman Park's 2,300-plus acres and 15 miles of trails through the Highland Rim forest
Visiting the Beaman Park Nature Center for geology and wildlife exhibits
Hiking along the Cumberland River at Bells Bend Park
Bells Bend Park is a lush green space along the Cumberland River.
Some residents in Marrowbone have small ponds on their property.

Rural roots shine through in Marrowbone’s shopping and events
You won't find big strip malls out in Marrowbone, but you will find local farms and small community hubs. "There are quite a number of family farms around here, growing produce and selling it at markets and restaurants," Allison says. "They take their food down to the city for farmers markets, and every week we get produce from the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)." A few of the area's attractions include:
Joelton Hardware, Feed & Farmacy, a restaurant and hardware store that hosts events like live bluegrass and night markets
Tony's Foodland, a long-standing hometown grocery in nearby Joelton with a full butcher counter
Joelton Farmers and Makers Market, a weekly community market offering fresh local produce
Old School Farm, a nonprofit farm that donates to local food pantries and offers a CSA
Nashville Glassblowing, a studio with regular art classes in a converted barn
Joelton Hardware, Feed and Farmacy is a nearby community hub.
Tony's Foodland is the closest large grocery store.
