About 1801 Laurel Ridge Drive

Some homes leave an impression long before you cross the threshold. Set high above Nashville with sweeping views of the skyline, 1801 Laurel Ridge Drive stands apart in both setting and execution. Reimagined by Mark Poe Builders, it brings together architectural precision and livable warmth in a way rarely seen in Tennessee. Walls of glass invite light and horizon into every room, creating spaces that feel open, grounded, and at ease with the landscape.

The kitchen is the first and only complete Officine Gullo installation in the state, a showcase of Italian craftsmanship and engineering. A secondary kitchen handles overflow during larger gatherings. In the primary suite, custom closets by LA Closet Design bring the same level of detail and finish found in the most refined residences in the country.

Every other space has been considered with the same care. A private fitness studio with sauna and steam. An acoustically tuned theater that also functions as a recording studio. A walk-in humidor. A European dine-in wine cellar for more than 500 bottles. A hydraulic elevator connects all three levels, and three oversized garage bays accommodate six vehicles, with infrastructure in place to add lift systems.

Outdoors, the grounds were designed by landscape architect Stephen Hackney and carry the same thoughtfulness as the interiors. A ShadeFX retractable, all-weather pergola anchors the pool terrace, opening the space to year-round use. A wood-fired pizza oven, an infinity-edge pool and spa, and uninterrupted skyline views give the exterior the feel of a private resort just minutes from the heart of Nashville.

1801 Laurel Ridge Drive offers something increasingly rare: a true sense of place paired with the craftsmanship and amenities of a singular estate.
