The development of Wyelea, a new 600-acre luxury community in Franklin, has recently been unveiled by West Harpeth Partners. This upscale residential project, located on a parcel purchased for $28.13 million in 2021, features 68 home sites priced from $1.5 million each.
The lots vary in size from under an acre to as much as 10 acres. Nashville-based Tudor Building Group is spearheading the grading and infrastructure development, with home construction slated to start in spring 2025.
