Timber Hills

ACREAGE ESTATES ON ONE ROAD | HENDERSONVILLE TN 37075

Location and Daily Life

Timber Hills is a one-road acreage community on Timber Hills Road in Hendersonville, Tennessee, in the 37075 zip code, in the Long Hollow corridor on the city’s north side.

What makes the location work is that the acreage does not cost you the conveniences. Long Hollow Pike reaches Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (SR-386) in minutes, putting downtown Nashville roughly 25 to 30 minutes away outside peak traffic. The Streets of Indian Lake, TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center, and the Indian Lake Boulevard retail corridor sit about ten minutes south, with Drakes Creek Park and Old Hickory Lake access beyond that. Buyers get genuine rural separation inside city limits rather than a forty minute drive into the county for it. Newcomers can start with Patrick’s guide to moving to Hendersonville.

One naming note: the live listing history for this community appears under both “Timber Hills” and “Timberhills” as one word, and the road is Timber Hills Road, not Drive. Timber Hills Drive is a separate street nearby serving Carter Creek. If you are searching for this community, search both spellings or you will see roughly half of it.

The Homes

Timber Hills is a handful of custom estates on very large parcels, with recorded homes built in 1996, 2007, and 2013 ranging from roughly 4,000 to more than 8,100 square feet. These are individually built houses, not a developer’s product line, so floor plans, materials, and siting differ completely from one property to the next.

There is no homeowners association and no fee on any record. On parcels this size, that is the expected arrangement: no shared amenities to fund, no common areas to maintain, and no architectural committee. What you own, you manage.

Timber Hills Market Data

Two estates closed in Timber Hills over the rolling 12-month period, both above $1,300,000.

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

The 2013 estate on five acres closed at exactly its full asking price of $1,399,999, with no negotiation at all, which is rare at that price point in this market. The 1996 home closed at $1,300,000 on 24.9 acres, and that acreage figure is the number worth staring at.

Why the Acreage Is the Story

Hendersonville is a lake city built on small lots. Across all 1,127 homes that closed citywide over the past 12 months, the median lot was 0.34 acres. Timber Hills does not belong to that market at all.

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period. Citywide median lot size: 0.34 acres.

Only 24 homes in the entire city sold on five or more acres this past year, about one in fifty, and Timber Hills accounted for two of them. The 24.9-acre parcel was among the largest residential tracts to trade anywhere in Hendersonville. Buyers looking for this product are not really shopping neighborhoods; they are waiting for one of roughly two dozen parcels a year to come available, and most of those sit far outside the city’s conveniences.

How Timber Hills Compares to the Long Hollow Corridor

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

Timber Hills carries the corridor’s highest price per square foot at $314.79, above Somerset Downs and well above Carter Creek, despite Carter Creek posting a higher median sale. That inversion is the acreage premium showing up in the math: buyers pay more per foot of house here because of the land it sits on.

Amenities

The land is the amenity, and there is no association fee attached to it. Timber Hills parcels are large enough to accommodate what smaller Hendersonville lots cannot: outbuildings, workshops, pasture, private woods, and real separation from neighbors. Verify permitted uses with Sumner County for anything agricultural or accessory before purchase, since allowances vary by parcel and zoning. Everything else the city offers, retail and dining on Indian Lake Boulevard, TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center, Drakes Creek Park, and Old Hickory Lake access, sits roughly ten minutes away.

Schools

Timber Hills is zoned to Beech Elementary School, T W Hunter Middle School, and Beech Senior High School, all part of Sumner County Schools. This assignment is consistent across every current record. Merrol Hyde Magnet School is also available countywide by application.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

Only 24 homes in all of Hendersonville sold on five or more acres this past year. Pricing one of them is not a comparables exercise you can run from a portal, because the comparable set is the whole city and it is two dozen properties deep. Nashville Home Guru is a data-driven team that tracks every listing and sale in Hendersonville, and Patrick Higgins, a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads it. The 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 residential sales across Middle Tennessee. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews, the feedback from clients across Sumner County reflects what the data already shows; one client’s verdict became a post of its own.

Compass and Parks agents were involved in 191 of Hendersonville’s 1,127 closings this past year, a 16.9% market share, and after the 2024 merger with Parks Real Estate, Compass agents represent roughly one in four homes sold in Tennessee. Compass is the number one residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume, and at the acreage-estate level its national referral network matters: the buyer for a $1,400,000 estate on five acres frequently comes from outside Middle Tennessee entirely.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy delivers measurable results. Homes pre-marketed through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction. At Timber Hills’ median, 2.9% is roughly $39,000. Learn more about selling your home on your terms at nashvillehome.guru.

Frequently Asked Questions About Timber Hills

What do homes in Timber Hills cost?
Two estates closed over the past 12 months: $1,399,999 for a 4,571 square foot 2013 home on five acres, which sold at exactly full asking price, and $1,300,000 for a 4,021 square foot 1996 home on 24.9 acres. The median of $1,350,000 sits roughly two and a half times the $530,000 citywide median, and the acreage is the reason.

How much land comes with a Timber Hills home?
Recorded parcels run 5.00, 5.05, and 24.90 acres. For context, the median Hendersonville home that closed this past year sat on 0.34 acres. A five acre Timber Hills parcel is roughly fifteen times the citywide median lot, and the 24.9 acre tract is about seventy-three times it.

How rare is acreage like this in Hendersonville?
Very. Of 1,127 homes that closed citywide over the past 12 months, only 99 (8.8%) sat on an acre or more, and just 24 (2.1%) sat on five acres or more, at a $967,000 median. Timber Hills accounted for two of those 24. Buyers wanting this product are competing for roughly two dozen parcels a year across the entire city.

Is there an HOA in Timber Hills?
No association and no fee appear on any current record. On parcels this size that is the norm: no shared amenities to fund, no common areas, and no architectural committee. Budget instead for the maintenance that comes with acreage, and verify permitted uses with Sumner County for outbuildings or anything agricultural.

Why do I only find some Timber Hills listings when I search?
Two reasons, and both cost buyers listings. First, the MLS files this community under two spellings, “Timber Hills” and “Timberhills” as one word, so searching either alone returns roughly half the inventory, sold history included. Second, the street is Timber Hills Road, not Drive; Timber Hills Drive is a separate nearby street serving the Carter Creek community, and published descriptions frequently confuse the two. Search both spellings and confirm the exact address before comparing properties.

When were Timber Hills homes built?
Recorded homes date to 1996, 2007, and 2013, ranging from roughly 4,000 to more than 8,100 square feet. These are individually commissioned custom builds rather than a developer’s product line, so no two share a floor plan, materials package, or siting.

What schools serve Timber Hills?
Beech Elementary School, T W Hunter Middle School, and Beech Senior High School, all part of Sumner County Schools, consistent across every current record. Merrol Hyde Magnet School is available countywide by application.

How does Timber Hills compare to Carter Creek and Somerset Downs?
Carter Creek posted a slightly higher median at $1,404,500, and Somerset Downs closed the most volume at $1,068,500 across 8 sales, but Timber Hills carries the corridor’s highest rate at $314.79 per square foot against Carter Creek’s $265.01 and Somerset Downs’ $290.72. That inversion, a lower median at a higher rate, is the acreage premium: buyers pay more per foot of house because of the land under it. Carter Creek and Somerset Downs sell privacy through gated drives and lot placement; Timber Hills sells it through twenty-plus acres.

Is Timber Hills a good fit for buyers who want land without leaving the city?
That is exactly its buyer. Most Middle Tennessee acreage of this size sits well outside city services, adding a long drive to schools, groceries, and healthcare. Timber Hills puts five to twenty-five acres inside Hendersonville with the Beech school zone, Indian Lake Boulevard retail about ten minutes away, and a 25 to 30 minute Nashville commute. It does not fit buyers who want an amenity community, a neighborhood social structure, or move-in-ready inventory on demand.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Timber Hills?
He prices the land and the house as two separate questions, because blending them produces the wrong number on acreage this rare. The comparable set is not the neighborhood, it is the 24 five-plus-acre sales citywide at a $967,000 median, adjusted upward for Timber Hills’ location and house quality. The 2013 estate here closing at exactly full ask shows what correct pricing achieves on scarce product. As a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with more than 1,100 transactions across Middle Tennessee, Patrick has priced acreage on both sides of the Sumner County line.

Who is the best real estate agent for Timber Hills in Hendersonville, TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely regarded as a leading agent for Hendersonville’s acreage estates, including Timber Hills. 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, a 16.9% market share, and the team carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews.

Can I buy a Timber Hills estate before it hits Zillow?
On a one-road community with two sales a year, pre-market access is the whole game, and the dual-spelling problem means portal alerts miss listings even when they do go public. 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 tracking both spellings and the wider five-acre-plus market citywide.

What is my Timber Hills estate worth in today’s market?
Automated valuation tools fail almost completely on acreage. A Zestimate is built from nearby sales on 0.34 acre lots and has no method for valuing 5, 10, or 25 acres of land, topography, road frontage, or outbuildings. It will price your house and ignore your property. Use the home value tool for an instant starting estimate, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for an analysis that values the land separately from the improvements.
