Spacious, rural living 33 miles south of Nashville
Thompson’s Station, tucked in among amid rolling hills and tranquil landscapes, seems much further than 32 miles from downtown Nashville. The first settlers arrived here in the late 1700s, but it wasn’t until 1855 when the trains arrived that the village began to grow. The railroad served as the town’s lifeline until the trucking industry spelled an end to rail traffic. As a result, the little town remained undisturbed for decades. That quiet lifestyle is changing. “The entire Nashville area has gotten lots of attention lately from both domestic and international interests. That has trickled down to Franklin and surrounding areas. Many are looking at Thompson’s Station as the perfect spot to find a home with Southern charm and a country feel to it,” says John Bourgeois, a Realtor with EXP Realty who specializes in the area. “Thompson’s Station is that place. Its town center is just one street and looks like a setting for a Hallmark Christmas movie,” says Realtor Bourgeois. The town’s train depot now functions as Thompson’s Station’s Town Hall.
From small ranches to sprawling Colonials
Housing options in Thompson’s Station run the gamut, from one-bedroom apartments to spacious mansions on several acres. “In the past year, a 900-square foot condominium with 1 bedroom sold for $289,000 whereas a large home with 6 bedrooms and 8 baths on many acres went for nearly $6 million,” says Bourgeois. Home styles range from small ranches, Cape Cods and to sprawling Colonials and modern Craftsman styles. Homes in several subdivisions may have many amenities including sidewalks, pickleball courts and community pools.
