A 2.01-acre homesite in the prestigious gated community of Otter Wood, adjacent to Richland Country Club — offered directly by the owner.
Tucked behind the gates of Otter Wood and shaded by mature hardwoods, this 2.01-acre homesite is the kind of opportunity that almost never comes to market in Forest Hills. Adjacent to Richland Country Club, the parcel offers a deep, private setting on Annandale — with a community walking path, dignified neighboring estates, and a feeling of distance that belies its proximity to Green Hills.
Lot 16 measures 120 by 430 feet and is ready for a custom build. The owners are selling directly — no listing commissions, no middlemen — and welcome qualified offers from buyers and their builders.
New construction within 2 miles is clearing $1,150–$1,509 per sq ft at the top of the market. 717 Westview sold at $14.25M ($1,458/sf, 2023 build); 533 Belle Meade Blvd is active at $14.2M ($1,509/sf); 4406 Sunnybrook is contingent at $11.5M ($1,150/sf). A 7,500 sq ft estate on this lot at $1,150/sf supports a finished value of ~$8.6M — making the $1.2M land basis roughly 14% of finished value. Inside the Forest Hills corridor specifically, the local ceiling is $854/sf (2805 Tyne). A comparable 1.16-acre Otter Wood parcel currently asks $799,900 with no Richland-adjacent setting.

A few moments from the property and the wider Forest Hills setting.
The lot is generous enough for a traditional Forest Hills estate, a low-slung modern, or a courtyard-style family home — with Otter Wood's architectural framework as a guide.
Otter Wood's architectural guidelines require all garages to be side-loaded — no front-facing garage doors. The result is a streetscape of front façades, not driveways, and homes whose first impression is the architecture itself.
Plan early for a side- or rear-entry motor court. Common configurations include a side-load 3-car bay, a porte-cochère into a rear courtyard, or a detached carriage-style garage connected by a breezeway.
A two-story brick or limestone home in the dignified vernacular of the neighborhood. Symmetrical front, deep front porch, side-load 3-car garage hidden behind a landscaped motor court.
A long, low-slung home oriented to the deeper portion of the lot. Stone and standing-seam metal, screened porches, and a courtyard motor court that uses the lot's 430-foot depth to advantage.
An L- or U-shaped plan that wraps a private rear courtyard with a pool or terrace. The side wing tucks the garage behind a privacy wall — meeting the HOA requirement and creating a quiet, family-first front yard.
The build types described above are illustrative starting points, not approved plans. Final designs are subject to Otter Wood architectural review and Metro Nashville building permits. Architectural guidelines available to qualified buyers on request.
A small, one-way enclave of custom homes in the heart of Forest Hills. Architectural review, a residents-only walking path, and the kind of quiet that only a gated street can keep.
35 Annandale sits in the quiet, residential heart of 37215 — a private, gated, family-friendly enclave where the streets are one-way, the canopy is mature, and the only neighbors across the road are trees. Percy Priest Elementary anchors the front entrance; Richland Country Club's fairways meet the back gate.
Forest Hills sits at the still center of Middle Tennessee — equally close to the lights of Broadway and the offices, shops, and restaurants of Brentwood and Franklin.
Broadway, the Gulch, Music Row, the business district, and Nashville International Airport (BNA) — all within a comfortable drive up Hillsboro Pike or I-440.
Corporate campuses, the Cool Springs Galleria, top-rated restaurants, and the leafy residential lanes of Brentwood — a straight shot down Franklin Pike or I-65.
Drive times are approximate, based on typical conditions outside of peak commute.
Land sold trades against finished new-build pricing. Within 2 miles — spanning Belle Meade, Royal Oaks, Green Hills, and Forest Hills — trophy new construction is clearing $1,150–$1,509/sf. The Forest Hills corridor itself benchmarks $709–$854/sf. Either way, the relevant question is what a finished home can command, not what older homes are worth.
