Copperas Creek Estates is the newest estate-home subdivision in the Tullahoma area, and it is a different kind of new construction than the townhome and starter neighborhoods in town. It is a large-lot community, about forty homesites of three-quarters of an acre and up, built around a private seventeen-acre nature preserve with walking trails and a waterfall on Copperas Falls Drive.

Copperas Creek Estates is the newest estate-home subdivision in the Tullahoma area, and it is a different kind of new construction than the townhome and starter neighborhoods in town. It is a large-lot community, about forty homesites of three-quarters of an acre and up, built around a private seventeen-acre nature preserve with walking trails and a waterfall on Copperas Falls Drive.
The homes are new construction on Copperas Creek Road and Drive, larger houses at the upper end of the market, and there are still buildable homesites available alongside the finished ones. It sits in Coffee County, outside the city, so it is zoned to the Coffee County schools, Hickerson Elementary, Coffee County Middle, and Coffee County Central High.
The grid above shows what is for sale now, and below I will walk you through the homesites, the county side of it, and what the preserve means for you.
Copperas Creek Estates has something no other Tullahoma subdivision has: a private seventeen-acre nature preserve with walking trails and a waterfall built into the community. That, plus three-quarter-acre and larger homesites, is the whole reason to look here.
It is new construction, so you get a modern home with current systems and a builder warranty, and because homesites are still available, you may be able to pick a lot and build rather than take what is standing. If that is the plan, I represent you at the builder's table, not the builder, and I read the build contract, the allowances, and the timeline with you.
The honest part is that this is a county property, not an in-town one, and that shapes the buy. It is in Coffee County, so the schools are the county system and the taxes follow the county, and homes out here typically run on a well and septic or a community system rather than city utilities, which I confirm on the specific home or homesite.
You are trading a short in-town commute for space, privacy, and that preserve, and that is a good trade for the right buyer. Because the community shares that seventeen-acre common land, there is an HOA that maintains it, so I pull the documents and confirm the dues and what they cover before you commit.
Copperas Creek Estates is on Copperas Creek Road and Drive, with Copperas Falls Drive running past the community's centerpiece, a seventeen-acre nature preserve with walking trails and a waterfall. The developer describes it as Tullahoma's newest subdivision, roughly forty estate-size homesites of three-quarters of an acre and larger.
The homes are new construction, larger houses at the upper end of the market, and buildable homesites are still available alongside the finished ones.
Because the community shares that seventeen-acre preserve and its trails, there is a homeowners association that maintains the common land. I pull the recorded documents and confirm the dues and exactly what they cover before you make an offer, so you know what you are buying into.
If you are comparing large-lot and county options, Nature Ridge, Rutledge Hills, and Village at Hickerson are worth a look, and the homes with acreage page pulls the category together.
Copperas Creek Estates trades an in-town address for space, a private preserve, and a drive to everything else.
The takeaway: Copperas Creek Estates is for buyers who want a new home on real land with a preserve at the doorstep and do not mind driving to town. I will fold the real commute into the search.
Here is what I confirm before you commit. First, if you are buying a homesite to build: I check the buildable area, the drainage and grading, the water and septic setup, and I represent you at the builder's table on the contract, the allowances, and the timeline, then I put together an honest all-in number so you see the homesite plus the build, not just the land.
Second, if you are buying a finished home: I read it like any new build, the builder, the warranty, and the early-life items, plus the systems that come with a county property. Third, the county side: I confirm the Coffee County schools and taxes and the well, septic, or community water for the specific property.
Fourth, the HOA: I pull the documents and confirm the dues and what they cover for the shared preserve and trails. For financing, a new build or a lot-and-construction loan behaves differently than a resale mortgage, so I line up the right lender early.
Copperas Creek Estates is in Coffee County, outside the Tullahoma city limits, so it is zoned to the Coffee County School District, not Tullahoma City Schools. The listings show Hickerson Elementary, Coffee County Middle School, and Coffee County Central High School for this area.
Attendance is set by address and can change, so I confirm the exact assigned schools for the specific home or homesite on the Tullahoma-area schools page. Being in the county also means county taxes and, usually, well or septic rather than city utilities, which I confirm as part of the diligence.
For how the county and acreage side compares with in-town options, the neighborhood guide has the read.
Yes, both finished homes and buildable homesites. Copperas Creek Estates is a newer estate-home subdivision that is still filling in, so the grid above shows whatever is currently listed straight from the local MLS, refreshed daily, and on any given day that ranges from a home or two to available lots to nothing.
If you are looking to build, tell me and I will pull the current homesites and walk the build path with you; if you want a finished home, I will set a saved search so you hear about the next one first.
Yes. Because the community is built around a shared seventeen-acre nature preserve with walking trails and a waterfall, there is a homeowners association that maintains that common land.
Before you make an offer I pull the recorded documents and confirm the dues, what they cover, and any rules, and I fold the dues into your real monthly cost. For a community with a private preserve like this, the HOA is doing real work, and I make sure you know exactly what you are paying for.
It is in Coffee County, outside the Tullahoma city limits, so it is zoned to the Coffee County School District rather than Tullahoma City Schools. The listings show Hickerson Elementary, Coffee County Middle School, and Coffee County Central High School for this area, though zones are set by address, so I confirm the exact ones for the specific home or homesite on the schools page.
Being in the county also usually means county taxes and well or septic, which I confirm as part of the diligence.
Large. The developer describes about forty estate-size homesites of three-quarters of an acre and up, wrapped around a private seventeen-acre nature preserve with walking trails and a waterfall, which is the main draw.
That acreage brings real space and privacy, and it also means the diligence includes the things that come with land and new construction: the buildable area, drainage, the water and septic setup, and the builder and warranty on a finished home. I confirm all of it for the specific property before you commit.
