Belle Meade/Hillwood/West Meade Real Estate
West of downtown Nashville is the lush and beautiful city of Belle Meade. You’ll know you’re in Belle Meade when you drive past the horse and foal that welcome you from Harding Road, a marker of the city’s past as a horse farm area. Homes in this area typically range from about $500,000 to well over $1 million, with traditional and contemporary homes lined up beside the historic mansions that call Belle Meade home.
Upscale seafood and steakhouse Sperry’s is a popular spot for brunch and dinner. Award-winning Phillip’s Toy Mart has been in business in Belle Meade for over 40 years, and boasts the largest model selection in the South. The historic Belle Meade Plantation is a 30-acre site where thoroughbred horses were once raised, now open for tours of the Antebellum architecture as well as visits to the winery. Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art, a mansion-turned-art gallery located on hundreds of acres of gardens and outdoor sculptures, is also located in Belle Meade. Here you can find Japanese gardens, water gardens, herb gardens, and much more outside with art pieces from internationally acclaimed Nashville artists as well as other American and European artists inside.

West Meade is a quiet oasis just a mile from the hustle and bustle of Nashville. Northwest of Belle Meade, the area is full of beautiful rolling lots, typically an acre each in size, with many 1950s and 60s ranch-style houses amongst lush woodlands and creeks. Many homes in West Meade fall under the $500,000 mark, but there remain a few multi-million dollar estates as well.
A cool dining spot in the area is 360 Bistro, a restaurant centered around the freshest ingredients with an ever-changing menu that highlights the best of what’s available that day. With over 50 wines by-the-glass and handmade signature cocktails, the drink menu is almost as fabulous as the food. For Italian fare loved by the locals, check out family-owned Finezza Bistro.
