The Hickory Woods community was constructed in the community of
Farragut beginning around 1975. The last house has yet to be built. The
last lot is being developed in late 1998 in the end of the second section
of Hickory Woods at the end of Hickory Woods Drive. However, most of the
construction occurred in the 70s.
The subdivision lies between Smith Road near the intersection with
Grigsby Chapel and Interstate Highway 40/75. Click here
for a map of the area.
The community is beautiful with many trees, especially the dogwoods that bloom in the spring. There are many pines remaining from the original wooded area. However many of
those are being removed and specimen trees are replacing the original woods.
Currently there are 114 houses in Hickory Woods. No two are alike.
When the original lots were sold, restrictions were placed on the
houses that could be constructed here. These restrictions still apply
and it is to the credit of the original developers and the leadership in
our Homeowners Association that the restrictions
are sound and well thought out.
The restrictions may be found in this web page at
Covenants and Property Restrictions.
They are included in all deeds for the property and are in your
Hickory Woods Directory. The covenants are monitored by the community
through the Hickory Woods Homeowners Association (HWHA) Planning
Committee.
Hickory Woods Homeowners Association is a non-profit, non-political
corporation incorporated in the State of Tennessee.
The organization is presided over by a board of directors. There are
two co-chairmen that cooperate in the work of the HWHA. Our by-laws
were last revised in 1997. They may be found in the
By-Laws section of this web site.
