In 2006, the Tennessee General Assembly passed Public Chapter 398 which established an annual sales tax holiday every August from 12:01am on the first Friday of the month until 11:59pm on Sunday. The advantage you ask? Shoppers can save BIG on computer purchases under $1,500 and school supplies and clothing under $100. Consider supporting our local retailers in Murfreesboro, and catch some deals for your kid’s Back-to-School needs at the same time. The current economic indicators reveal that consumer spending is down, but sticking to a budget as you hunt down some fabulous rollbacks for your spending dollar always makes sense… Check out the Square in downtown Murfreesboro, and then pop on over to The Avenue on Medical Center Parkway to get your “find” of the century… Top off a day of fun and shopping with refreshments from one of the many local eateries in both locations. And don’t forget that Marymont Springs is ready to welcome you with some fresh made iced lemonade and home-baked cookies. Stop by for a rest after your day and enjoy the rockers and shade on our front porch…you’ll be glad you did…see you soon!

Have you ever heard the phrase, “It’s all in the details” ? As I have mellowed with age, I have come to appreciate the time and thoughtful planning that goes in to the orchestration of things in general, be they luxurious soirees, a weekend at the lake for our family of four, or a delightful meal made with fresh ingredients and unique presentation for just the two of us.

You will find that ParkTrust Development has done this very thing with Marymont Springs, as you are quietly beckoned to stay and experience the community’s tranquil landscape and timeless architecture. From the grand entries that welcome you home, to our tree-lined Boulevard and lushly landscaped median, you will note that we have placed a great deal of importance on the finer details because we believe that a great neighborhood doesn’t just happen–it takes deliberate planning.

Marymont Springs presents you and your family many thoughtful features to include: Wide, pedestrian friendly sidewalks for ease of walking or jogging, lovely landscaping providing moments of respite throughout the community, homes crafted with quality building materials, such as stone, brick, hardboard siding and wrought iron, and home sites that back to historic Overall Creek.

I think Maya Angelou captured it best with this phrase; “I want all my senses engaged. Let me absorb the world’s variety and uniqueness.”

Looking around me as we move into the lazy days of summer here at the historic mansion on Rucker Lane, I am reminded of a favorite quote of mine from my college days by Vincent Van Gough.

Within that statement there is true inspiration, and as your eyes drink in the surrounding loveliness of Marymont Springs, your heart too will be inspired.

Come experience Marymont Springs for yourself, and give free reign to your hidden aspirations! We are located at 1124 Rucker Lane off of Highway 96 in Murfreesboro.

If you have had a chance to review the National Register of Historic Places recently, you will find that the Marymont mansion has been an icon on Rucker Lane in Murfreesboro since the mid 1800’s. As the story goes, the workers on this cotton plantation laid down their tools and exchanged them for arms to fight for the Confederacy in the Civil War. Built by Hiram Jenkins, Jr. on 640 acres of land in about 1861, Marymont was constructed of handmade brick that was fired in a kiln right here on the property.

At Marymont Springs, designed by ParkTrust Development, you will find that subtle elements abound throughout the community which reflect the rich history this property holds. Many of the homes in Marymont Springs pay tribute to the architecture of the historic mansion, which has been described as “one of the last Classical Revival homes erected in Middle Tennessee prior to the Civil War”.

In an excerpt from a letter from Jimmie Park Ledbetter to Mary Rucker Donnell, dated September 23, 1943, he said, “I am a soldier that visited your old brick home, Marymont at Ruckers, and certainly would have enjoyed staying longer…I thought the terrain of the land beautiful in your section of Murfreesboro.”

Come visit historic Marymont Springs, and witness firsthand the unique blend of past and present that can be uniquely yours…..
