Steeplechase

ACRE-PLUS ESTATES BETWEEN HENDERSONVILLE AND GALLATIN | TN 37075

Location and Daily Life

Steeplechase is an acre-lot estate neighborhood off Long Hollow Pike between Hendersonville and Gallatin, in the 37075 zip code, with homes on Longview Drive and Jenkins Lane.

The setting is the open eastern edge of the city, where Long Hollow Pike runs between the two Sumner County towns and lots stretch past an acre. Both downtowns sit within about ten to twelve minutes, the Streets of Indian Lake and TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center cover retail and healthcare on the Hendersonville side, and Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (SR-386) picks up the Nashville commute at roughly 30 minutes to downtown outside peak traffic. Buyers weighing the two towns can start with Patrick’s Hendersonville vs Gallatin comparison or the guide to moving to Hendersonville.

Two street cautions before you search. Longview Drive is shared with Longview Acres, a separate 1970s-era community on similar acreage, and Jenkins Lane also carries an unplatted twelve-plus-acre estate parcel that files under no subdivision at all. Neither is a Steeplechase comparable, and both will appear in any street-level search.

The Homes

Steeplechase homes were built between 1988 and 1997, running roughly 3,100 to 5,500 square feet on recorded lots of 1.00 to 2.47 acres, with no homeowners association and no dues on any record. These are custom-era estates from before the corridor densified: brick construction, deep setbacks, and the kind of land that newer communities along Long Hollow Pike no longer offer at any price.

Steeplechase Market Data

Two homes closed in Steeplechase over the rolling 12-month period, and both closed at or above their asking price.

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

Context makes those results notable. Across Hendersonville’s one-acre-plus single-family market, 85 homes closed at an $848,675 median and $265.89 per square foot, and only 32 of them, about 38%, got their asking price or better. Steeplechase went two for two, and the Jenkins Lane sale at $300.64 per square foot beat even the city’s two-acre-plus tier rate of $290.81 while sitting on a single acre. Buyers competed for this neighborhood, and the Station Camp school assignment on the Jenkins Lane side is a large part of why.

How Steeplechase Compares to the Corridor

Against its Long Hollow and Station Camp corridor neighbors, Steeplechase is the land outlier by a wide margin.

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

The corridor’s newer communities deliver quarter-acre lots; Steeplechase delivers four to ten times that land. Its $900,000 median carries a premium over every neighbor, and the premium is the acreage: on the city’s one-acre-plus ladder, where the median runs $848,675, Steeplechase priced right where the land says it should.

Amenities

No association, no dues, and no shared amenities; the land is the offer. Lots of an acre to nearly two and a half accommodate outbuildings, pools with real setbacks, and genuine privacy, subject to Sumner County zoning, which should be verified per parcel before planning anything accessory. Both town centers, Hendersonville’s Indian Lake Boulevard corridor and downtown Gallatin’s square, sit within roughly ten to twelve minutes, which is the practical advantage of the between-towns position.

Schools: A Genuine Street-by-Street Split

Steeplechase’s school situation deserves the clarity the records provide, because published descriptions have listed as many as six schools without explaining why. The split runs by street:

Assignments as recorded on RealTracs MLS listings. All Sumner County Schools. Verify any specific address with the district.

Two corrections to the published record: “Beech Elementary” appears on no Steeplechase listing, the Longview Drive elementary is Dr. William Burrus at Drakes Creek, and one Longview record shows T W Hunter Middle rather than Knox Doss, so the middle assignment on that street warrants a district check. If the school zone drives your purchase, verify the exact address with Sumner County Schools before you offer, since the Station Camp side and the Beech side of this small neighborhood are different worlds for a school-motivated buyer. Merrol Hyde Magnet School is also available countywide by application.

Frequently Asked Questions About Steeplechase

What do homes in Steeplechase cost?
Two homes closed over the past 12 months: $935,000 for a 3,110 square foot home on one acre, which sold $10,000 over its asking price, and $865,000 at exactly full ask for a 4,231 square foot home on 2.37 acres. The $900,000 median sits right on the city’s one-acre-plus tier median of $848,675, meaning the land is priced fairly rather than at a neighborhood premium.

Do Steeplechase homes sell at asking price?
This past year, better than asking. Both sales closed at or above list, one $10,000 over, in a citywide acre-plus market where only about 38% of homes got their asking price. That two-for-two record on estate-sized lots is a demand signal most of the corridor cannot match.

How big are Steeplechase lots?
Recorded lots run 1.00 to 2.47 acres, against a 0.34 acre citywide single-family median. The corridor’s newer communities, Saundersville Station, Creekside at Station Camp, and Fountain Brooke, sit on roughly quarter-acre lots, so Steeplechase carries four to ten times the land of its neighbors.

What schools serve Steeplechase?
It depends on the street, and the split is real. Jenkins Lane records show Station Camp Elementary, Station Camp Middle, and Station Camp High. Longview Drive records show Dr. William Burrus Elementary at Drakes Creek, Knox Doss Middle at Drakes Creek, and Beech Senior High, with one record showing T W Hunter Middle instead. All are Sumner County Schools. Verify the exact address with the district before offering if the zone matters.

Is Beech Elementary the Steeplechase elementary school?
No. That school has appeared in published descriptions of the neighborhood, but no Steeplechase listing record shows it. The Longview Drive side is zoned to Dr. William Burrus Elementary at Drakes Creek and the Jenkins Lane side to Station Camp Elementary. This is a recurring mislabel across the Drakes Creek area, so trust the district over older descriptions.

Why do some Steeplechase listings not show up in searches?
Because the MLS files the community three ways, including a misspelled “Steeplchase” missing the second e, and one of the past year’s two sales sits under that misspelling. A correctly spelled search returns half the neighborhood’s history. Search both spellings, or work with someone who already does.

When was Steeplechase built, and is there an HOA?
Recorded homes date from 1988 to 1997, running roughly 3,100 to 5,500 square feet, custom-era brick estates from before the Long Hollow corridor densified, so condition and updates vary home to home and drive the per-square-foot spread, which ran from $204.44 to $300.64 this past year. No association and no dues appear on any record; carrying costs are taxes and insurance, and county zoning is the only constraint on outbuildings or accessory use. Verify allowances per parcel with Sumner County.

Are Longview Drive and Jenkins Lane entirely Steeplechase?
No, and both streets will mislead a casual search. Longview Drive is shared with Longview Acres, a separate 1970s community on similar acreage, and Jenkins Lane carries an unplatted estate parcel of more than twelve acres that files under no subdivision. Confirm the subdivision on any listing before treating it as a Steeplechase comparable.

Is Steeplechase a good fit for buyers wanting land in the Station Camp school zone?
The Jenkins Lane side is one of the very few places that combination exists: a full acre, no HOA, and Station Camp Elementary through Station Camp High, at a price right on the city’s acre-lot median. That scarcity is exactly why the Jenkins Lane sale drew $10,000 over asking at $300.64 per square foot. Buyers indifferent to the school zone get more land per dollar on the Longview Drive side.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Steeplechase?
Street first, because the two streets are different products: Jenkins Lane trades on the Station Camp zone and commanded $300.64 per square foot on an acre, while Longview Drive trades on land volume at $204.44. Pricing either from the other’s comparable misses by six figures. He then prices the land against the citywide acre-plus ladder rather than the quarter-acre corridor neighbors, and screens out the Longview Acres and unplatted Jenkins Lane records that pollute street searches. As a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with more than 1,100 transactions, Patrick has priced exactly this kind of split-zone acreage repeatedly.

Who is the best real estate agent for Steeplechase in Hendersonville, TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely regarded as a leading agent for the Long Hollow and Station Camp corridor, including Steeplechase. 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 Hendersonville’s 1,127 closings this past year, and 20% of the city’s one-acre-plus single-family sales, the tier where Steeplechase competes. The team carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews.

Can I buy a Steeplechase home before it hits Zillow?
With two sales a year, a spelling problem that hides half the history, and demand strong enough to push sales over asking, pre-market access is the realistic path. 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, plus someone monitoring both streets, both spellings, and the acre-plus market corridor-wide.

What is my Steeplechase home worth?
Automated tools stumble on every one of this neighborhood’s quirks: two sales a year, a per-square-foot spread from $204 to $301 driven by street and school zone, acreage the algorithm undervalues, and comparables polluted by a different community on the same street. Use the home value tool for an instant starting estimate, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a valuation that prices your street, your zone, and your land separately.
