Foxland Harbor Community: A Guide to Living in Gallatin, Tennessee

Foxland Harbor is a planned residential community in Gallatin, Tennessee, near Old Hickory Lake and the Foxland course operated by Tennessee Grasslands Golf and Country Club. Buyers and renters should evaluate the specific home, HOA rules, school assignment, club membership options, fees and access arrangements separately because those details can vary by property and change over time.

Foxland Harbor is a planned residential community in Gallatin centered on an Old Hickory Lake setting, golf-oriented amenities and a mix of higher-end homes and lower-maintenance residences. The community’s official materials describe waterfront surroundings, neighborhood design standards and access to a country-club lifestyle, while city records show additional Foxland Harbor-related development activity in the area.

For a buyer, renter or newcomer, the most important point is that living in Foxland Harbor does not automatically answer every question about club membership, HOA costs, school assignment or access to amenities. Those details should be verified for the specific property and household.

What is Foxland Harbor?

Foxland Harbor is presented by its developer as a residential community along Old Hickory Lake with a mix of homes, golf views, waterfront scenery and neighborhood design controls. Its planning materials describe an 18-hole golf course, marina and country club as central components of the community concept, along with pedestrian walkways and architectural standards intended to create a consistent streetscape.

The official community website describes both luxury estates and lower-maintenance residences. That means prospective residents should avoid treating “Foxland Harbor” as a single housing product. A detached home, condominium or newer phase may involve different construction standards, maintenance responsibilities, covenants and monthly costs.

Location and setting

Foxland Harbor is in Gallatin, within the broader Old Hickory Lake area. The community website identifies its Gallatin address as 1643 Nashville Pike, Suite 100, for the development’s sales contact; that is not necessarily the address of an individual residence or neighborhood entrance.

The setting may appeal to people who want a residential environment near water, golf and the amenities of Gallatin while remaining connected to the Nashville region. However, “near the lake” does not necessarily mean every home has shoreline access, a dock, a lake view or permission to use a particular facility. Confirm the exact relationship between a property and any waterfront, trail, marina or club amenity before relying on marketing language.

Homes, design guidelines and neighborhood rules

Foxland Harbor’s HOA resource page directs residents and prospective residents to community design guidelines, restrictions, covenants and architectural-review materials.

The community’s published site-and-home guidelines describe controls involving exterior materials, garage placement, landscaping and other design elements. The document also indicates that requirements can differ by phase, including garage standards.

For a homeowner, these rules can affect more than appearance. Before making an offer, ask for the current declaration, bylaws, rules, assessment information, architectural-review process and any amendments. Also determine who maintains roads, sidewalks, common areas, stormwater features, landscaping and any private facilities associated with the property.

Golf, club amenities and social membership

Foxland golf course

The Foxland course is operated as part of Tennessee Grasslands Golf and Country Club. The club’s course information lists Foxland as a par-72 course measuring 7,200 yards, with multiple teeing options and specific turf and course-maintenance features.

Those details matter primarily to golfers comparing club environments. They do not establish that every Foxland Harbor resident receives automatic playing privileges. The club describes Tennessee Grasslands as a private, non-equity club and lists separate membership options.

Club amenities

Tennessee Grasslands says its Foxland and Fairvue facilities include two 18-hole courses, a nine-hole short course, fitness centers, pools, dining, social events, racquet-sports facilities and practice amenities.

The Foxland pool-pavilion page describes a lakeside pool setting with a covered patio, poolside bar, lap lanes, fountains and a children’s pool with a splash pad. These are club-described amenities, so prospective residents should confirm which facilities are included in each membership category and whether access is seasonal or subject to reservations.

Membership questions

The club’s membership page identifies both full memberships and social membership options. It says full members receive access to both golf courses, club facilities and social events, while social membership is oriented toward recreation, dining, pools and fitness.

Ask the club these questions in writing:

1. Is a membership required to use any Foxland Harbor amenity?
2. Can a buyer assume or apply for a membership connected to a home?
3. What are the initiation fee, recurring dues and other charges?
4. Are there food-and-beverage minimums, event charges or guest fees?
5. Which family members are included?
6. Are there waitlists, residency requirements or limits on golf access?
7. What changes apply to nonresident or social memberships?

The reviewed public pages explain membership categories but do not provide a complete current fee schedule. Treat any quoted fee from a listing, prior brochure or third party as unconfirmed until the club supplies current terms.

Buying or renting in Foxland Harbor

What to compare

When comparing Foxland Harbor homes, use the same checklist for every property:

• Housing type: detached home, condominium, townhouse-style residence or new construction.
• Phase and location: golf-facing, lake-oriented, interior, near an entrance or near planned development.
• Ownership costs: purchase price or rent, HOA assessment, insurance, property taxes, utilities and maintenance.
• Club relationship: included, optional, unavailable or subject to a separate application.
• Exterior restrictions: approved materials, fencing, landscaping, additions, paint colors, garages and outdoor structures.
• Water considerations: lake view versus direct shoreline, flood-zone status, drainage, boating access and dock rights.
• Resale and rental rules: minimum lease terms, caps, approval requirements and transfer provisions.

Because current listings and prices change quickly, this guide does not label Foxland Harbor the “cheapest,” “best” or “most affordable” option in Gallatin. The better comparison is whether a specific property’s total obligations match the buyer’s budget and intended lifestyle.

Costs and fees to verify

A buyer should request a complete cost worksheet before signing a contract. It may include:

• Purchase price or monthly rent
• HOA dues and any special assessments
• Club initiation fees and recurring membership dues
• Property taxes and homeowners insurance
• Flood insurance, if required by the lender or insurer
• Utility connection and recurring service costs
• Exterior maintenance responsibilities
• Transfer, resale-certificate or architectural-review fees
• Marina, boat-storage, dock or launch charges, if applicable

Do not assume that a home’s proximity to the golf course or lake includes golf, pool, dining or marina access. These are separate questions that should be answered by the seller, HOA, club and applicable property documents.

Schools and day-to-day logistics

Sumner County Schools provides school-boundary maps and an interactive school-zone lookup that allows families to search by street address. The district warns that boundary maps are informational and may change without notice.

That makes address-specific verification essential for families. A general neighborhood name, listing description or older map should not substitute for checking the current address with Sumner County Schools. The district has also published 2026 rezoning information and map resources, reinforcing the need to recheck assignments during a move or home search.

Development and future changes

Foxland Harbor is not a static neighborhood. The City of Gallatin’s development page lists Foxland Harbor Phase 2.1, identified as Revery Waterside, as a 64-unit condominium development on approximately 4.53 acres north of Foxland Boulevard and east of Douglas Bend Road. The same city page places the project among developments on the planning or approval agenda rather than presenting it as a completed neighborhood feature.

Gallatin city records also show approval of an amended preliminary master development plan for Foxland Harbor Marina on approximately 7.38 acres south of Nashville Pike and east of Douglas Bend Road. The ordinance describes zoning and plan approval, but preliminary approval should not be treated as proof that every proposed amenity is open or operating.

For buyers and nearby residents, the practical questions are whether additional construction will affect traffic, views, noise, drainage, construction access, parking or neighborhood services. The City of Gallatin Planning Department maintains development-review and planning information for projects within the city and planning region.

Readers who want to follow local approvals can also use MyGallatin’s [Gallatin development and civic dashboard](/civic/dashboard), which links development stages, public meetings and city updates.

Questions to ask before choosing Foxland Harbor

Before renting or buying, request answers to these questions:

1. Which HOA and phase govern this property?
2. What are the current dues, assessments and maintenance obligations?
3. Are there rental, resale, parking, pet, fence or renovation restrictions?
4. Does the property include any club membership or merely provide proximity to the club?
5. What are the current club fees, access rules and waitlist conditions?
6. Which school zones apply to this exact address today?
7. Is the property in or near a mapped flood hazard area, and what insurance is required?
8. What construction, marina or condominium projects are approved or pending nearby?
9. Who maintains the road, sidewalk, drainage and landscaping serving the property?
10. What documents will be delivered before closing, including HOA disclosures and amendments?

Is Foxland Harbor a good fit?

Foxland Harbor may suit residents who value a planned community, Old Hickory Lake surroundings, golf and optional country-club amenities. It may be less suitable for someone seeking an informal neighborhood with minimal design controls, no HOA obligations or guaranteed public access to recreational facilities.

The right decision depends on the specific home and the household’s priorities. Compare total monthly and annual costs, read the current HOA documents, confirm school assignment by address, and speak directly with Tennessee Grasslands about membership before treating the community’s golf, dining, pool or social amenities as part of a housing purchase.
