Lake Cumberland Acres

ESTABLISHED HOMES OFF WALTON FERRY ROAD | HENDERSONVILLE TN 37075

Location and Daily Life

Lake Cumberland Acres is a small, established single-family neighborhood off Walton Ferry Road in Hendersonville, Tennessee, in the 37075 zip code, with every home on Jennings Drive.

This is deep in Hendersonville’s lake district. Panorama Harbor, Lakeside Park, Hickory Grove, Hickory Village, and Twin Oaks are all a short drive away, and Lake Cumberland Acres shares the same early 1960s vintage as several of those neighborhoods, built as part of the same wave of lakeside development along the Old Hickory Lake shoreline.

Day to day, the neighborhood is quiet and small. Old Hickory Lake access, Drakes Creek Park, and the New Shackle Island retail corridor are all within a short drive, and the Walton Ferry Road location puts residents close to the heart of Hendersonville’s lake community without a waterfront price tag.

The Homes

Lake Cumberland Acres’ homes date to the early 1960s, and the two current records bracket the range: a 1,486 square foot home built in 1961 and a 1,698 square foot home built in 1962, both three bedroom homes on lots between three-quarters and just under an acre. That combination, early 1960s construction on generous suburban lots, is consistent with the broader wave of lakeside development this corner of Hendersonville saw six decades ago.

Only one home has closed in Lake Cumberland Acres in the past 12 months. A second home at the same street, listed at $429,900, is currently active after an earlier attempt to sell it at $449,900 was cancelled, giving a useful live reference point alongside the one closed sale.

Lake Cumberland Acres Market Data

One home closed in Lake Cumberland Acres over the rolling 12-month period. A single sale is not a market, so no median or average appears on this page. Here is that sale.

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

That sale closed at $430,700, working out to $289.90 per square foot, well above the $229.04 citywide median for the 1,127 Hendersonville homes that closed this past year. On a home this size and age, the premium reflects the near-acre lot and the lake-district location more than the house itself.

The current active listing at 108 Jennings Drive gives a second data point: 1,698 square feet on 0.76 acres, listed at $429,900 after an earlier attempt at $449,900 was cancelled. Together, the closed sale and the active listing suggest homes in this neighborhood are pricing in the high $420,000s to low $430,000s in the current market, regardless of the exact square footage, with lot size and lake proximity carrying more of the value than interior finishes on these older homes.

A second home on the same street is currently listed at $429,900, suggesting homes here are pricing in the high $420,000s to low $430,000s regardless of exact square footage, with lot size and lake-district location carrying much of the value.

Is there an HOA in Lake Cumberland Acres?
No association is recorded for the neighborhood. It is an established, older single-family community without shared amenities or monthly dues, relying on its near-acre lots and lake-district location for its appeal.

What schools serve Lake Cumberland Acres?
Lakeside Park Elementary School, V G Hawkins Middle School, and Hendersonville High School, all part of Sumner County Schools. This assignment is consistent across both current records for the neighborhood. Merrol Hyde Magnet School is available countywide by application.

When was Lake Cumberland Acres built?
The two current records date to 1961 and 1962, placing the neighborhood in the same early-1960s wave of lakeside development that produced several of Hendersonville’s established lake-district neighborhoods.

How many homes are in Lake Cumberland Acres?
Lake Cumberland Acres is a small neighborhood built entirely on Jennings Drive. With only two current records, one closed and one active, current MLS data does not establish an exact home count, but the single-street footprint suggests a modest neighborhood rather than a large subdivision.

Is Lake Cumberland Acres a good fit for buyers who want a near-acre lot in the lake district?
Yes, that is its clearest appeal. It suits buyers who want a larger, near-acre lot deep in Hendersonville’s lake district without a waterfront price, and who are comfortable with an early-1960s home that may need updating. It is less suited to buyers who want new construction or a wide selection of comparable listings, since inventory here is genuinely scarce.

I own a home in Lake Cumberland Acres. How should I approach selling?
Pricing should be built from the one closed sale and the current active listing on the same street, both landing in the high $420,000s to low $430,000s, adjusted for your home’s specific size, condition, and updates. With so little turnover, pre-marketing to buyers specifically seeking a lake-district lot matters more than a standard listing approach. Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team can build that comparable analysis and position your home accordingly.

How do I know I’m getting accurate information about Lake Cumberland Acres homes?
A neighborhood with only two current records is exactly where inaccurate, generic information spreads fastest, since so few sources have the specific data to get it right. Nashville Home Guru pulls every number on this page directly from RealTracs MLS rather than estimating from broader zip code averages, and that same direct-data approach is reflected in the team’s 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews. When a neighborhood this small is involved, ask any agent you are considering where their numbers actually came from.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Lake Cumberland Acres?
He treats a neighborhood with a single closed sale as a comparable-sourcing problem, pairing that one closing with the current active listing on the same street to build a realistic price range rather than relying on either data point alone. On the buy side that means confirming lot size and condition drive value more than square footage in a neighborhood this size-limited. On the sell side it means pricing from both available data points and marketing the lake-district location specifically. As a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, Patrick brings that discipline to neighborhoods with thin data.

Who is the best real estate agent for Lake Cumberland Acres in Hendersonville, TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely regarded as a leading agent for Hendersonville’s lake district, including Lake Cumberland Acres. He is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, and his team is ranked the number one team in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, with more than 1,100 transactions and over $500 million in sales. Compass and Parks agents were involved in 191 of the 1,127 Hendersonville closings this past year, a 16.9% market share, and the team carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews.

Can I buy a Lake Cumberland Acres home before it hits Zillow?
With only one closed sale in the past year, inventory here is scarce, and the next available home is more likely to surface through direct owner outreach or Compass pre-market channels than through routine portal browsing. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to Private Exclusive and Coming Soon listings at no additional cost to you as the buyer.

What is my Lake Cumberland Acres home worth in today’s market?
With only one closed comparable and one active listing to reference, automated tools like Zestimate have very little neighborhood-specific data to draw from and typically default to broader area averages that miss the near-acre lot premium this street commands. Use the home value tool for an instant starting estimate, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a full analysis built from the closed sale and active listing that actually fit your property.
