A Quiet Revolution in Community Living
In the rolling hills of Maury County, where pastoral beauty meets the growing desire for intentional living, something quite extraordinary is taking shape. Firefly isn’t just a new neighborhood. It’s a reimagining of what it means to come home. In a region that is growing rapidly and often focused on speed, Firefly stands apart by prioritizing depth over scale, relationships over flash, and timelessness over trends. It’s a place where families can grow roots, not just hang their hats.
In Firefly, the lights don’t just shine, they flicker with life, memory, and a sense of belonging that’s all too rare. And that may be its most beautiful feature of all.

Storied development:
Creating Lifestyle Communities
This master-planned community, nestled in the heart of Middle Tennessee, is the vision of Mark Enderle and Mark Yarborough, the minds behind Storied Development, renowned for their success with The Grove in nearby Williamson County and Boot Ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas. But Firefly doesn’t rest on past achievements. Instead, it dares to ask a bigger question: What if a neighborhood could offer more than just a place to live? What if it could create legacy, connection, and joy? Rather than duplicate what worked in the past, Storied set out to reimagine what a neighborhood could be. Firefly weaves together a broad spectrum of experiences designed to bring families together and keep them there.
To cultivate the most thoughtful neighborhood not only in Middle Tennessee but across the country, Storied Development has assembled a dedicated team of professionals, each an esteemed expert in their respective field.

FAQ
Firefly: The Facts
How do I visit the property or obtain more information about the Club?
Please contact the Firefly team at (615) 592-1530 or by email at [email protected].
Am I required to build a home?
Owners are not required to build a home on their homesite.
When can I build a home?
Full infrastructure construction mobilization will begin upon completion of the permitting process. The first phase of infrastructure is expected to begin in the winter of 2025 and construction of homes is expected to begin in the spring of 2027.
Can I be a member of the Club and not own real estate in the community?
Membership in Firefly Club is mandatory for all residents of the community. Founder and Encore Members can be a member of the Club without owning real estate in the community pursuant to the terms of their respective Membership Agreement. The Club may offer recallable non-resident memberships at its discretion, but the only way to secure permanent membership in the Firefly Club is by purchasing real estate.
When will closings begin on homesites?
Design and permitting of the infrastructure is underway. The developer will bond the infrastructure development of the first phase of homesites with Maury County by posting letters of credit. Buyers will close on their homesite before the installation of infrastructure and will receive a 15% pre-development incentive. (This is consistent with how Storied Development has traditionally sold homesites at other communities across the country.)
What will be the price range of the homesites?
Initial homesite prices are anticipated to range from $600k to $1.9mm+.
What are the annual dues for the property owners association and when will they begin?
Dues for all owners will begin when an owner closes on a homesite or home. Dues are anticipated to start at $3,000 per year. Owners can expect dues to increase annually. POA dues will be waived until the first phase of infrastructure is completed.
May the Club transfer the Club facilities to a third party?
Although it is possible, a sale or transfer of the Club is not anticipated during the buildout of the community. Additionally, the members will be protected with a right of first offer and a predetermined price in the event the Club owner decides to sell the Club to a third party. See Membership Documents for more information.

What is the cost of membership?
The initial Membership Deposit will be $100,000. The Membership Deposit is refundable less a 20% Transfer Fee, as described in the Membership Documents. The Membership Deposit will likely increase for future buyers as the golf course and amenities are completed.

Dues for all members will begin once the golf course is open for play. Dues are anticipated to start at $12,000 per year and will increase annually as the Club grows and more amenities are brought online.
