Town And Country

1970s RANCH HOMES ON BIG LOTS | HENDERSONVILLE TN 37075

Location and Daily Life

Town And Country is an established single-family neighborhood off New Shackle Island Road in Hendersonville, Tennessee, in the 37075 zip code. Streets include Cheryl Drive, Cheryl Court, Iris Drive, Iris Court, and Pana Court.

New Shackle Island Road runs through one of the more practical parts of Hendersonville, close to Drakes Creek Park, Gene W. Brown Elementary, and the shopping and dining along Main Street and Nashville Pike. Vietnam Veterans Boulevard is a short hop for the Nashville commute, and Old Hickory Lake is minutes away.

The neighborhood itself is quiet and mature. Streets are short with courts and cul-de-sacs, the tree canopy is fully grown in after five decades, and lots are noticeably larger than what new construction offers anywhere in this market.

The Homes

Town And Country was built in a tight window in the early 1970s. Every home that sold in the past year was completed between 1971 and 1975, which is a remarkably narrow five-year span, and the architecture reflects it: ranch and split-level plans, all brick or brick with wood siding.

These are small houses on large lots. Recent sales ranged from 1,108 to 1,605 square feet, and every single one had three bedrooms. Baths run one to two, often with a half. Lots, by contrast, run from 0.29 to 0.48 acres, so the land under these homes is generous relative to the footprint.

One detail worth noting for the right buyer: garage capacity varies a lot. Most homes have a single-car garage, but recent sales included one with three bays and one with four. In a neighborhood of 1,200 square foot houses, a four-car garage is a genuine find for anyone who needs shop or hobby space.

Property taxes on recent sales ran from about $1,606 to $1,999 a year, among the lowest of any Hendersonville neighborhood, and there are no HOA dues.

Town And Country Market Data

Six homes closed in Town And Country over the rolling 12-month period, with a median of $372,500. That runs about 30% below the Hendersonville citywide median of $530,000, which makes this one of the more accessible established neighborhoods in the city.

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

Two things in this data deserve attention, and the second one surprises most people.

First, the price range is exceptionally tight. Five of the six sales landed between $367,500 and $385,000, a span of $17,500. Only one sale, at $313,500, fell outside that cluster. For a neighborhood where homes were all built within five years of each other to nearly the same specifications, that consistency makes sense, and it makes pricing here unusually predictable.

Second, and counterintuitively, price per square foot in Town And Country is among the highest in Hendersonville. Sales ran from $228.97 to $333.94 per square foot. For comparison, Masters Glenn at Country Hills, where the median is $660,000, topped out at $208 per square foot this year. A $372,500 house here earns a substantially higher rate than a $660,000 house across town.

That is not a pricing error, it is how small homes work. A kitchen, a bathroom, a roof, and mechanical systems cost roughly the same whether the house is 1,200 square feet or 3,200, so the fixed cost gets spread over less space and the rate climbs. It also reflects that a real share of the value here sits in the land, since these lots run up to nearly half an acre. The practical warning is simple: never use a per-square-foot number from a larger Hendersonville neighborhood to value a home here, and never apply this neighborhood’s rate to a larger house.

Sellers have done well. The six closings averaged 99.4% of asking, two sold at exactly 100%, and one sold above list at 101.6%. Homes priced sensibly here trade quickly and close near ask.

Amenities

Town And Country has no homeowners association, no dues, and no shared facilities. For a buyer at this price point that matters more than it might appear. A newer Hendersonville community charging $200 a month in dues adds $2,400 a year to carrying cost, which on a $372,500 purchase is real money. Combined with property taxes running $1,606 to $1,999, the total cost of holding a home here is about as low as Hendersonville gets.

No association also means no architectural review and no restrictions on outbuildings, boats, or vehicles beyond city and county code. On lots approaching half an acre, that opens up a shop, a detached garage, a garden, or a pool.

The surrounding area supplies the amenities. Drakes Creek Park with its ball fields, courts, and boat access is close, along with Old Hickory Lake, the Main Street corridor, and the retail and dining along Nashville Pike.

Schools

Town And Country is zoned to Gene W. Brown Elementary School, Knox Doss Middle School at Drakes Creek, and Beech Senior High School, all part of Sumner County Schools. Gene W. Brown appears on every Town And Country record with no exceptions.

Two records in the past year listed Merrol Hyde Magnet School and Hendersonville High School instead of the zoned middle and high schools. Merrol Hyde is Sumner County’s application-based countywide magnet, open to families across Hendersonville regardless of address, which accounts for those entries. The zoned assignment for this neighborhood is Knox Doss and Beech. School zoning is assigned by address and can change, so confirm the current assignment with the district before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Town And Country

What is the price range for homes in Town And Country?
Six homes closed over the past 12 months from $313,500 to $385,000, with a median of $372,500. Five of the six fell within a $17,500 band between $367,500 and $385,000, which makes this one of the most predictable price points in Hendersonville. The median runs about 30% below the citywide median of $530,000.

Why is price per square foot so high in a neighborhood this affordable?
Because the homes are small, and small homes always carry a higher rate. Sales here ran from $229 to $334 per square foot. For comparison, Masters Glenn at Country Hills, where the median is $660,000, topped out at $208 per square foot this year. A kitchen, bathroom, roof, and mechanical systems cost about the same in a 1,200 square foot house as in a 3,200 square foot one, so the fixed cost spreads over less space. A meaningful share of the value here also sits in the land, since lots run up to nearly half an acre. Never carry a per-square-foot number between this neighborhood and a larger one in either direction.

How big are the homes and lots in Town And Country?
Small homes, large lots. Recent sales ran from 1,108 to 1,605 square feet, and every one had three bedrooms, with one to two full baths and often a half. Lots ran from 0.29 to 0.48 acres. Most homes have a single-car garage, though recent sales included one with three bays and one with four, which is a real find for anyone who needs shop or hobby space.

Does Town And Country have an HOA?
No. None of the six recent sales reported homeowners association dues. Combined with property taxes running $1,606 to $1,999 a year, the total cost of holding a home here is about as low as Hendersonville gets. A newer community charging $200 a month adds $2,400 annually, which is significant against a $372,500 purchase. There is also no architectural review and no restrictions on outbuildings, boats, or vehicles beyond city and county code.

When was Town And Country built?
In a very tight window. Every home that sold in the past year was built between 1971 and 1975. The architecture is consistent with that period: ranch and split-level plans in all brick, or brick with wood siding. Five decades on, the tree canopy is fully mature and the streets are settled.

What schools is Town And Country zoned for?
Gene W. Brown Elementary School, Knox Doss Middle School at Drakes Creek, and Beech Senior High School, all part of Sumner County Schools. Gene W. Brown appears on every Town And Country record. Two records listed Merrol Hyde Magnet School and Hendersonville High instead, which reflects Merrol Hyde being Sumner County’s application-based countywide magnet rather than a different zoning. Confirm the current assignment for a specific address with the district before buying.

Is Town And Country a good fit for first-time buyers?
It is one of the better options in Hendersonville for exactly that. A $372,500 median with no HOA dues and taxes under $2,000 a year keeps the monthly payment manageable, and buyers still get a detached brick home on close to half an acre in a settled neighborhood. It also suits downsizers, since ranch plans mean single-level living, and buyers who need workshop space given the oversized garages on some homes. Buyers who need four bedrooms or more than about 1,600 square feet should look elsewhere, since every recent sale here was a three-bedroom.

I own a home in Town And Country. How should I approach selling here?
You have an advantage most sellers do not: the recent comparable sales here are genuinely comparable, since the homes were built within five years of each other to similar specifications. Five of six sold in a $17,500 band. The mistake to avoid is letting an online estimate anchor your price using a per-square-foot figure pulled from larger Hendersonville neighborhoods, which will undervalue your home considerably. Your lot size, garage capacity, and any updates are what move you within the band. Recent sellers averaged 99.4% of asking with one closing above list. Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team track every Town And Country closing and can price it properly.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Town And Country?
He prices these homes against each other rather than against the broader Hendersonville market, because the per-square-foot rate here runs $229 to $334 while larger neighborhoods across town run $150 to $210. Carrying a rate across that boundary produces a badly wrong number, and it is the single most common valuation error in this neighborhood. Within the band, he weighs lot size, garage capacity, and condition, which are the actual differentiators among homes that are otherwise nearly identical. As a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, Patrick brings a data-first approach to entry-level and established neighborhoods alike.

Who is the best real estate agent for Town And Country in Hendersonville, TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely regarded as a leading agent for Hendersonville, including the established New Shackle Island Road neighborhoods. 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 about a third of Town And Country sales over the past 12 months, roughly double the 16.9% citywide figure, and the team carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews from clients across the area.

Can I buy a Town And Country home before it hits Zillow?
Often, yes, and it is worth setting up. This neighborhood sits in one of the most competitive price bands in Hendersonville, where affordable detached homes with land draw immediate attention from first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors at once. With only six sales in a year, opportunities are limited. Through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs, Nashville Home Guru clients can see qualifying listings before they reach Zillow and similar portals. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you that early access at no additional cost to you as the buyer.

What is my Town And Country home worth in today’s market?
Automated tools like the Zillow Zestimate consistently undervalue homes in this neighborhood, and the reason is specific. They calibrate per-square-foot rates against the broader Hendersonville market, where larger homes run $150 to $210 per square foot, then apply something near that to a 1,200 square foot house here that actually trades between $229 and $334. They also place little value on a 0.4 acre lot or a four-car garage. For an instant starting estimate you can use the home value tool, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a full pricing analysis built on the six actual Town And Country sales.
