When a client wants space, I take them to Eads. Living here means trading sidewalks for land - larger lots, custom homes, and privacy, a short drive from Collierville's shopping and top schools. This unincorporated pocket on the eastern edge of Shelby County is my go-to for acreage buyers, and here's what I want you to know before you buy.
What Eads is known for
Larger lots, custom and equestrian properties, and prestigious gated communities like Graybourne - country living with quick access to the Highway 385 corridor.
Buying land or a rural home - my heads-up
Rural properties come with wells, septic, easements, and acreage financing, and comps are harder to pin down than in a subdivision. That's exactly where I earn my keep - I'll help you evaluate the land and price it right. A note on financing: land and custom builds are underwritten differently, so I'll connect you with a local lender who does them well.
Who Eads is right for
Buyers who want privacy, room for animals or hobbies, or a custom home on land - while staying close to Collierville schools. Seclusion without isolation.
