We are Kyle & Casey Wallace, the number one real estate team in Franklin, Tennessee. And we’re on a mission—to introduce you to the hidden wonders of our beloved region, starting with the enchanting village of Leiper’s Fork.

This high-end, yet intimate community has mastered the art of preserving its rural essence while embracing a lifestyle steeped in sophistication.

Leiper's Fork, located in Williamson County, Tennessee, has a rich history of community-driven efforts to preserve its rural character and natural beauty. The area's residents and local organizations have been dedicated to protecting the land from over-development and maintaining its historic charm. Efforts include conservation easements, land trusts, and community initiatives to safeguard the area's heritage, culture, and environment. Leiper's Fork continues to strive for a balance between growth and preservation to maintain its unique identity and we think they’ve done a wonderful job.

Leiper's Fork offers a variety of dining experiences, ranging from cozy cafes to charming eateries, often emphasizing Southern cuisine and local flavors. Places like Fox and Locke come alive in the evenings with soulful melodies. It’s more than a restaurant—it’s a hub for live music and community gatherings, including the famous open mic night which built its reputation many years ago when it was the old Puckett's Grocery store - a personal favorite of ours.

Other great food choices includes 1892 Restaurant, Country Boy Restaurant, hanks coffee station, and Joe Natural's Farm Store & Cafe showcase delicious dishes and a warm atmosphere. Whether you're in the mood for Southern comfort food, farm-to-table delights, or a relaxing meal in a quaint setting, Leiper's Fork has dining spots to suit different tastes.

Another keynote of this special place is that it’s known for its vibrant arts scene, featuring various galleries and shops that celebrate local artists and craftsmen. Some notable spots include Leiper's Creek Gallery, where you can find a diverse collection of fine art, the David Arms Gallery showcasing beautiful paintings and unique pieces, and Serenite Maison offering a mix of art, antiques, and home decor. Other places like Finds in the Fork, Leiper's Fork Market, and The Copper Fox Gallery provide a wide array of art, crafts, and locally made goods, making it a haven for art enthusiasts while offering a glimpse into the creative soul of the region.

Let’s talk about shopping! A few of my favorite places are Creekside Trading Company, Props Antiques, The pick it fence, and of course Patina Home and Garden beloved for its unique blend of vintage home decor, antique furniture, and distinctive garden accents..

Just a stone's throw away from the charming main street of Leipers Fork, the Leiper's Fork Distillery beckons with its irresistible bourbon scent. Visit their tasting room crafted from 200-year-old Barnwood, where each sip tells a story steeped in tradition and innovation.
