Driftwood Acres Lebanon TN | Old Hickory Lakefront Homes

Driftwood Acres Lebanon TN, From the Closed Record

Driftwood Acres sits off Highway 109 in 37087, on Drifting Circle, Dawn Place, Applevalley Road and Kelly Drive. It is an older subdivision, built 1963 to 1991, with no association dues on any of the 10 closings in the three-year record and lots from 0.44 to 2.81 acres.

The thing this page has never said: 3 of those 10 closings are lakefront, carrying a Lake Front designation on Old Hickory Lake, one of them River Front as well. All three are on Drifting Circle. They closed at a median $949,700. The other 7 closings, on Dawn Place, Applevalley Road, Kelly Drive and the non-waterfront part of Drifting Circle, closed at a median $550,000. That is one subdivision name covering two entirely different markets, and anybody pricing here needs to know which one they are in.

Every figure on this page is from closed sales in the RealTracs MLS, deduplicated by MLS number, trailing twelve months unless the three-year record is stated. Lebanon is the seat of Wilson County; the 37087 page carries the zip and the Lebanon pillar page the whole market.

Every Closing on the Three-Year Record

Data from RealTracs MLS. Three-year record.

Read the table with the water in mind. The three highest closings are the lakefront houses, all built in the 1960s, and none of them has a garage. The rest of the subdivision is mostly 1987 to 1991 construction with garages ranging from none to six bays. 4 of the 10 closings have no garage at all, which is normal for lake cottages of that era and a real consideration if you need covered parking.

Street alone does not settle whether a house is on the water. One Drifting Circle closing on this record sold at $305,000 with no waterfront designation, while its neighbors sold above $800,000 with one. Check the designation and the survey, not the address.

The Lake

4 of the 10 listing remarks reference a marina or a dock, naming Cherokee Marina and Old Hickory Lake. One lakefront listing on the record describes a two-slip dock. The lakefront closings also carry the wide-water frontage that makes this pocket of Wilson County expensive; the interior lots of the same subdivision do not, and are priced accordingly. For the full set of Lebanon homes with a water designation, the Lebanon waterfront page carries them all with prices.

Compass and Parks agents were on one side of 1 of Driftwood Acres’s 10 closings in the record. A subdivision where the same three-year record holds a $305,000 sale and a $1,050,000 sale on adjoining streets will defeat any automated comparable set and most manual ones.

Frequently Asked Questions About Driftwood Acres

Are there lakefront homes in Driftwood Acres?

Yes. 3 of the 10 closings on the three-year record carry a Lake Front designation on Old Hickory Lake, one of them River Front as well, and all three are on Drifting Circle. They closed at a median $949,700, against $550,000 for the rest of the subdivision. This page has not said that before.

What do homes in Driftwood Acres cost?

It depends entirely on the water. The three-year record runs $305,000 to $1,050,000 with a median of $612,500; the lakefront closings median $949,700 and the interior closings $550,000. The last twelve months produced 5 closings from $305,000 to $1,050,000. All 10 are in the table on this page.

Is every home on Drifting Circle on the water?

No, and this is the trap. One Drifting Circle closing on the record sold at $305,000 with no waterfront designation while others on the same street sold above $800,000 with one. Verify the designation and the survey for the specific parcel rather than assuming the street settles it.

Is there an HOA in Driftwood Acres?

No. None of the 10 closings on the three-year record reports an association fee.

Which schools are Driftwood Acres homes zoned for?

Wilson County Schools, and it varies by lot. On the 10 closings: 7 to West Elementary, 2 to LaGuardo and 1 to Coles Ferry; 9 to West Wilson Middle; 7 to Mt. Juliet High School, 2 to Wilson Central and 1 to Lebanon High. This page previously named Wilson Central alone, which fits only 2 of the record. Counts of assignment, not rankings. Confirm the address with the district.

When was Driftwood Acres built?

From 1963 to 1991. The lakefront houses on Drifting Circle are 1960s construction; most of the rest of the record is 1987 through 1991. Expect systems and finishes to vary a great deal house to house and price the inspection accordingly.

Do Driftwood Acres homes have garages?

Inconsistently. 4 of the 10 closings on the record report no garage, including all three lakefront houses, while the record also holds a four-car and a six-car. If covered parking matters, check it house by house.

How close is Driftwood Acres to the lake and the marina?

4 of the 10 listings reference a marina or a dock, naming Cherokee Marina and Old Hickory Lake, and one lakefront listing describes a two-slip dock. Proximity varies by lot; the interior streets are near the water but not on it, and the record prices them that way.

How big are the lots in Driftwood Acres?

0.44 to 2.81 acres, median 1.00. Larger than a typical Lebanon subdivision lot, and with no association dues, which together are most of what people are buying here besides the water.

How does Patrick Higgins approach selling in Driftwood Acres?

By making the appraiser and the buyer see which side of the subdivision the house is on. A lakefront house here is worth roughly $399,700 more than an interior one on this record, and nothing in the subdivision name tells anyone that. Patrick, a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with more than 1,100 closings, prices from the designation, the frontage and the lot, and markets a lakefront listing to lake buyers rather than to Lebanon buyers.

Who is the best real estate agent for Driftwood Acres in Lebanon TN?

He is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads the top team in Nashville by RealTrends and one of the top ten in Tennessee, and has more than 1,100 closings and $500 million in sales across Middle Tennessee, with 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews. He also publishes the lakefront split on this page, which is the difference between a correct price and a $399,700 mistake.

What is my Driftwood Acres home worth?

An automated estimate averages a $949,700 lakefront house against a $550,000 interior one because they share a subdivision name and, on Drifting Circle, a street.
