About the Community

LaurelBrooke is a gated community off Sneed Road, developed by Southern Land Company on nearly 600 acres in five sections. Stone walls, stocked lakes and preserved hills and forest set the tone, and a staffed gatehouse controls access.
‍

Homes here are custom estates, many well over 5,000 square feet, on lots of an acre or more. Stockett Creek runs along the community's edge.
‍

With custom homes on varied lots, each property needs its own careful look.

Why People Consider It

LaurelBrooke feels like a retreat because it was planned as one. Southern Land Company set it on nearly 600 acres off Sneed Road and kept the hills, forest and stone walls, and you come in through a staffed gatehouse.
‍

Inside, residents share stocked lakes, a clubhouse, a pool and tennis courts, and the homes sit on lots of an acre or more. You get that privacy without being far from town: Hillsboro Road and downtown Franklin are a short drive away.

Homes and Property Styles

LaurelBrooke homes are custom estates, mostly brick and stone, in traditional and European-influenced styles. Many are well over 5,000 square feet, and lots in recent listings have run from about 1.3 to 2.8 acres across the community's five sections.
‍

Since every home is custom, two houses of the same size can be very different inside. When I compare them, I look at the lot and its views, the plan, the quality of the finishes, the age of the roof and systems, and what's been updated.

Property and Price Context

In LaurelBrooke, the land carries real weight. A home on nearly three acres with a lake or valley view prices differently from one on an acre and a quarter, even if the houses are similar in size.
‍

Finish level is the other big variable. Custom homes here range from original builds to fully renovated, so I'd compare recent LaurelBrooke sales first, then estate homes nearby, adjusting for lot, size, finishes and updates.

Amenities and HOA

LaurelBrooke's homeowners association covers the staffed gatehouse, the stocked lakes, the clubhouse, pool, tennis courts and common areas. That level of amenity is part of what the dues pay for.
‍

Before you buy, ask for the current HOA documents, dues, any planned assessments and the architectural rules. On a large custom lot, the rules on additions, fencing and outbuildings are worth reading closely.

Nearby Places

LaurelBrooke sits off Sneed Road near Hillsboro Road, so downtown Franklin is a short drive south and Brentwood is reachable to the north. Legends Ridge, Fieldstone Farms and the Gardens at Old Natchez are nearby.
‍

Old Natchez Country Club is also on Sneed Road, with its own separate membership. Drive your commute at your normal times, especially toward Brentwood or Nashville, since most trips start on Hillsboro Road.

School Zoning

Williamson County Schools' 2026-27 zone locator shows Grassland Elementary, Grassland Middle and Franklin High for the LaurelBrooke addresses we checked. Treat that as a starting point, not a guarantee. Assignments are set by address and can change, so confirm the current zoning for the specific home with the district's locator before you make a decision that depends on it.

Seller Strategy

Selling in LaurelBrooke means presenting a custom home and its setting together. Buyers at this level want to see the grounds, the views and the privacy, so photography and drone images of the lot, the lakes and the gated entrance carry a lot of weight.
‍

Resales here are less frequent, so each one gets attention. Pricing comes from recent LaurelBrooke sales and comparable estate homes in the Hillsboro Road and Sneed Road area, adjusted carefully for lot, size, finishes and condition.

Buyer Strategy

Buying in LaurelBrooke starts with the lot and the condition of the home. A large custom home has more systems to check, so plan for a thorough inspection of the roof, HVAC, drainage and any outdoor features like pools or retaining walls.
‍

LaurelBrooke is in unincorporated Williamson County, so county rules cover permits and zoning. Ask for the HOA documents early so you understand the dues, what the gate staffing covers and the rules on exterior changes.

What our clients say

Every move is personal. Here's what our clients had to say about theirs.

"Loved working with Mindy and the Hoover team! Mindy went over and above trying to sell our house! She held two open houses (in one weekend) and posted very large advertising flags in our yard and neighborhood entrance where even our neighbors were impressed and said we should have charged admission because there were over 50 cars in one day! It worked because we ended up having 12 offers and the house went $20,000 over asking 😊"

Lauren Hunter

"Mindy Hoover worked tirelessly when I was considering purchasing an investment property. She is always  professional, always available, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend."

Leah Clo

"Selling a home is a challenging time for anyone and I had to put my home up for sale during a very difficult situation. Jason and his team came into my life and made everything bearable. They organized and scheduled showings for homes to look at and when the time came to sell my home the work was seamless and happened quickly. I can never thank them enough for their support and compassion."

Debra B.

"Mindy and the Hoover Team worked very hard to help us buy our first home. Our lender gave us a very hard time during closing amidst COVID-19, but Mindy never stopped fighting for us to make our closing deadline."

Miles Crockett

"We had the pleasure of working with Mindy on our relocation from California. This is no small feat working at two opposite parts of the country, but Mindy made it a breeze. She is so friendly, kind, & patient. As a mother and former teacher, she understood exactly what I was looking for when deciding to relocate my family of 5. She has an incredible personality, is easy to talk to, knowledgeable and a true expert in her field. I feel blessed to have found her and look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future!"

Erin Freitas

"Mindy was on the ball and helped us find a home that had been recently returned to the market. We love it!  She even helped us meet a few new neighbors by having an open house for us after we moved in. Mindy is very personable and easy to work with."

Jackie King

"My wife and I recently had privilege of working with Jason and Mindy Hoover and all I can say is WOW! We were first time home buyers with no experience on how the process works. Jason and Mindy were well equipped to help us through that most difficult process and honestly did all the legwork. They made it fun. They were patient and took their time adding their feedback in critical moments that helped guide our ultimate decision. I cannot recommend team Hoover enough if you’re in the market for a new home."

Brian Rhea

"Mindy was incredible! She was there from start to finish! Even early in the morning and late at night! Buying a house in this market was tough but she made it as painless as possible! I highly recommend her! We feel so blessed to have had such an INCREDIBLE Agent who was extremely knowledgeable!"

Lenabel Rowell

"I cannot express how grateful I am that my husband and I had the hoover team on our side for our first home purchase. They took the trepidation out of buying a house and honestly made it seem easy. They walked us step by step through each process and helped us buy the perfect home for our needs and wants. HIGHLY recommend!"

Kelli Pflieger

"My wife and I met with Mindy about relocating to the Murfreesboro area. She has set up a daily / weekly email with homes that are on the market for us to view. Our in person experience with her was top notch, her team is very professional and took the time to listen to us, and help find the perfect home."

Matt Eldred

"Had reached out to the Hoover team about selling my house and their response time was quick. My appointment went better than I could have anticipated and I am extremely please with moving forward. Mindy walked me through the process of selling a home and possible improvements to get the most out of the sell. Their continuous support and guidance is making this potentially stressful time a breeze and I am happy to have the Hoover team on my side to sell this house!!"

Kara Altes

"Working with Mindy from the Hoover team and we love the service. Mindy provides great support and service. We could not find a home to purchase so we had one built. Mindy was there ever step of the way. Even helping the wife to pick and choose the interior designs we wanted. She works with the builder to solve problems. We are very happy."
