A courtyard pool, a timber-framed patio, and a superhero home office await in Leiper's Fork.

Noble Architects designed this tucked-away Mediterranean farmhouse in Leiper’s Fork, a small village in Williamson County, Tennessee, with construction by Forte Building Group. You can see the Mediterranean influence in the layout, where three wings of the house surround a courtyard with a pool and spa.
Cream siding, stacked stone, and a bronze metal roof give the exterior a classic farmhouse look. Inside, you will find stained timber trusses, a blue kitchen, and a superhero-themed home office. Continue below to see the rest of this amazing home, plus ideas to borrow for your own space…
Farmhouse Exterior with a Bronze Metal Roof

A long driveway through the trees leads to the front of the house. The exterior mixes cream board-and-batten and lap siding with stacked stone and a bronze standing seam metal roof.

At the front entry, stained timber posts sit on stone bases, and a triangular window fills the gable above the double doors. The windows and doors throughout the home are by Pella.

To one side of the motor court, the three-car garage has dark carriage-style doors.

Covered Patio with an Outdoor Fireplace

At the back of the house, a covered patio works as an outdoor living and dining room. Stained timbers from Pioneer Log Systems frame the ceiling.

A stone fireplace with a TV above makes this a great spot for watching the game. Ceiling fans keep the air moving on hot days.
Courtyard Pool and Spa

The house forms a U around the courtyard, with a swimming pool and spa in the middle. Blue granite pavers surround the water, edged with pale stone coping. The pool, spa, and sun deck were built by Watermark Pools.

Outdoor Kitchen Under a Timber Pavilion

Next to the pool, a timber-framed pavilion covers the outdoor kitchen. A grill and stainless cabinets are set into stacked stone.


BFT Land Design planned the landscaping. Fountain grass, boxwoods, and hydrangeas grow along the stone paths.

Wood-Paneled Foyer with Timber Trusses

Step through the front door, and you can see right through the house to the pool. The foyer has glass on both sides, with sliding doors that open to the courtyard.

Dark-stained wood paneling lines the walls, with glass display cabinets on each side of the sliding doors. Two iron orb chandeliers hang above a round stone table.

Living Room with a Stone Fireplace

From the foyer, a wide opening leads to the living room. The vaulted ceiling has stained beams, and a ring chandelier hangs over a long sofa and two blue-gray armchairs.

The stone fireplace has a herringbone brick firebox and a rustic wood mantel, with white shiplap above.
Kitchen with Blue Cabinets

The kitchen cabinets are painted Dockside Blue by Sherwin-Williams (SW 7601), and the countertops are 3cm Viatera Soprano quartz. A white range hood with a stained wood band sits between tall cabinets, with striped marble tile on the backsplash.

A wide window over the apron-front sink looks out to the trees.

Walk-In Pantry

The pantry continues the blue cabinets and striped tile from the kitchen. It also has a second sink, a beverage refrigerator, and open shelves filled with baskets.

Ideas to Steal from This Tennessee Farmhouse
- Plan the house around a courtyard. Placing the pool between the wings of the house keeps it private and puts it in view from many of the rooms.
- Line up the front door with the view. Glass on both sides of the foyer lets guests see straight through to the backyard.
- Paint the kitchen cabinets a soft blue. Dockside Blue by Sherwin-Williams (SW 7601) adds color without feeling loud, especially next to warm wood floors.
- Carry the kitchen finishes into the pantry. Using the same cabinets and tile makes the pantry feel like part of the kitchen.
- Hide a work station behind barn doors. A gift-wrapping or hobby station can be closed off when it gets messy.
- Give one room a theme. The superhero office shows how much fun a single room can be when the rest of the house stays neutral.
- Add a fireplace to the patio. With a fireplace and ceiling fans, a covered patio can be used for most of the year.
