Lyric at Leiper’s Fork

The words of a song- the lyrics- have a way of evoking emotion, inspiring us and even taking us back to a certain place or time in our lives. This is the same feeling we get when we turn onto the winding country roads that lead to Leiper’s Fork and eventually to a secluded home set on 12 acres. We imagine it is these same back roads and this type of setting that inspire the lyrics for many a songwriter here in Tennessee. In fact, it was on this drive that we had the inspiration for our home’s name, Lyric.

Williamson County, TN has released its “safer our home” order and has begun the re-opening of retail and dining at limited capacities. For those who feel they can safely travel and are looking for a place to social distance, relax, work remote or even home school, look no further than Lyric. 

The home itself features an expansive 70ft balcony that overlooks the hilltop and is lined with rocking chairs to take it all in. Inside you will find a modern farmhouse style with 15 foot vaulted ceilings in two large living spaces, a well equipped kitchen and dining space, and 3 bedrooms each with en suite bathrooms. In total there is nearly 2,700 sq ft of living space and small, thoughtful touches throughout the home come together to create a lasting impact for your stay. Situated on 12 secluded acres 3 miles from Leiper’s Fork Village, Lyric check out the top reasons to love Lyric below.
