Our Story
THE PLACE WHERE TIME STOPS.
When the visionaries behind the Village Series moved to Nashville, they immediately noticed how many homes lacked authentic character—entire neighborhoods filled with identical designs, driven by builders prioritizing speed and cookie-cutter layouts over meaningful architecture. Having grown up visiting Casa de Campo, surrounded by Mediterranean-inspired villas with texture, warmth, and soul, they felt compelled to bring that sense of beauty and individuality to Nashville.
This sparked the creation of the Village Series: boutique communities where every detail is carefully curated, every material is chosen with purpose, and the design is not only stunning but functional. The homes blend warm colors, layered textures, and timeless forms to create spaces that feel inviting, peaceful, and deeply personal—places where residents can truly feel at home and build a lifestyle around thoughtful, intentional living.
