Lakefront Condos & Townhomes on Old Hickory Lake | Gallatin, TN 37066

Location and Daily Life in Tanasi Shores

Tanasi Shores sits along Tanasi Shores Drive in the Cages Bend area of Gallatin, Tennessee — a quiet stretch of Old Hickory Lake on the eastern edge of Sumner County. The community is roughly 10 minutes from downtown Gallatin and about 40 minutes from Nashville, making it a genuine lakefront retreat that still keeps you connected to everyday conveniences.

Daily life here revolves around the water. Residents wake up to lake views, launch kayaks or fishing boats from the community dock, and spend summer evenings on screened porches watching the sun drop over the cove. It does not feel like a typical suburb. The wooded site, the sound of water, and the sense of permanence that comes with a 1980s-built condo community give Tanasi Shores a character that newer developments simply cannot replicate.

Gallatin’s best shopping and dining are on Nashville Pike and in the corridor around Long Hollow Pike — Publix, Target, a growing restaurant scene, and quick access to Hendersonville for additional options. Jack Anderson Elementary, Station Camp Middle, and Station Camp High School serve the neighborhood, all part of Sumner County Schools.

The Homes in Tanasi Shores

Tanasi Shores is a small, tightly knit condominium community built in 1985 and 1987. The homes are multi-story townhouse-style condos located entirely on Tanasi Shores Drive. Floor plans range from approximately 1,500 square feet for a 2-bedroom unit up to just under 3,000 square feet for the larger 3- and 4-bedroom configurations.

Construction styles vary slightly unit to unit — some feature partial brick and vinyl siding, others hardboard or stone and vinyl — but the lakefront orientation is consistent throughout. Most units include rear-entry attached garages (one or two spaces), private decks or screened porches facing the lake or green space, and wood-burning fireplaces in the main living areas. Upper-level primary suites with private balconies and lake views are a standout feature in many of the larger floor plans.

Several homes include finished lower levels with in-law suite potential — a kitchenette, living space, and bedroom/bath accessible from the lower level. This makes Tanasi Shores an appealing option for multi-generational buyers or those wanting rental flexibility, as the community allows renting. Parking includes both attached garage spaces and open asphalt parking for guests.

Community Amenities

Tanasi Shores offers amenity access that is rare at this price point for Gallatin lakefront properties. The community features an in-ground pool, tennis courts, a clubhouse, and — the standout feature — a boat dock with individual boat slips. Residents also have year-round lake access to Old Hickory Lake, one of the most popular recreational lakes in Middle Tennessee.

The HOA manages all exterior maintenance and grounds, which is a meaningful benefit for buyers who want the lake lifestyle without the upkeep burden of a single-family waterfront property. Underground utilities keep the streetscape clean, and the wooded, cove-side setting provides natural privacy between units and from the road.

Old Hickory Lake itself opens up a wide range of activities — boating, fishing (bass and crappie are popular), paddleboarding, and waterskiing. The Cages Bend area of the lake is known for calm coves and relatively low boat traffic compared to busier stretches near Hendersonville, making it a good fit for families and retirees alike.

Station Camp High opened in 2009 and serves the eastern Gallatin area with modern facilities and competitive academic and athletic programs.

For families exploring private education, Gallatin Christian School and several Hendersonville-area private options are within a reasonable commute. Belmont University, Vanderbilt University, and other Nashville-area colleges are approximately 40 minutes away.
