The Highlands at Stone Hall

The Highlands at Stone Hall at a glance

The Highlands at Stone Hall is a single-family new-construction community in Hermitage, on the eastern side of Davidson County, in the historic Donelson-Hermitage area. It sits on Stone Hall Boulevard amid lush wooded areas and rolling hills, with interior streets including Highland Place Way, Mulligan Court, Helmsdale Court, and Riverbank Drive. The community runs to 80-plus homes and is actively selling, with an on-site sales office along Highland Place Way. Because it is built out as a defined neighborhood rather than a scattered set of lots, buyers get a real street grid, an amenity package, and finished homes alongside the ones still under construction.

What you are buying here is energy-efficient, smart-home-enabled single-family construction: homes from about 3,000 to 3,900 square feet, with four to five bedrooms, on 0.17-acre homesites, priced from $450,000. The buyers it tends to draw are those who want square footage and a brand-new, low-maintenance home but still want to stay close to the city — Stone Hall is less than 20 minutes from downtown Nashville. Because we tour the metro's new-construction communities constantly, this is one we point buyers toward when they ask about larger new homes on the east side that keep an easy commute into town.

Who builds in The Highlands at Stone Hall

The Highlands at Stone Hall is built by Meritage Homes, a national homebuilder known for its focus on energy efficiency and smart-home technology built into the home rather than bolted on afterward. As the builder here, Meritage controls the floor plans, the included features, the design-center selections, and the construction schedule — which generally makes for a more consistent buying process than a multi-builder community where details vary lot to lot.

In practice that means one builder, one warranty, and one sales-and-design team for the community. As your buyer's agents, we can pull Meritage's current plan availability, model-home and sales-office hours, and any standing incentives, and walk the included-features list with you so you know what is standard versus a design-center upgrade before you commit to a homesite.

Homes & floor plans

The Highlands at Stone Hall is single-family new construction. Homes run from roughly 3,000 to 3,900 square feet with four- to five-bedroom configurations, set on 0.17-acre lots (about 6,098 to 7,405 square feet). That is a larger footprint than many new-construction communities in the area, with the room range to cover a growing household, a home office, a guest suite, or flex space alongside the bedrooms.

Meritage homes here are designed around energy efficiency and integrated smart-home features, which is part of the builder's standard approach rather than an add-on package. Pricing starts at $450,000. For the current floor-plan lineup, included features, and which plans are available on which homesites, the best source is Meritage's official community and plan pages — and we pull the live, plan-by-plan picture for you so you are comparing real availability rather than a snapshot that may already be out of date.

Amenities & community life

The Highlands at Stone Hall is built around an amenity package that supports an active, outdoors-leaning day-to-day. The community includes a resort-style swimming pool and a recreation center for gathering, plus walking trails within the neighborhood.

One of the stronger draws here is greenway access — the community connects to more than 10 miles of greenway, which means walking, running, and biking right out your door without getting in the car. Paired with the wooded, rolling-hill setting, day-to-day life here leans toward time outside while keeping the conveniences of an established, close-in Hermitage location.

Location, access & schools

The Highlands at Stone Hall sits in the historic Donelson-Hermitage area on the east side of Davidson County, less than 20 minutes from downtown Nashville. That close-in position is one of the community's defining features: you get brand-new construction and a real amenity package while staying inside Metro Nashville and within an easy reach of the airport, Donelson, and the wider east-side corridor. The wooded, rolling terrain gives the neighborhood a more natural setting than many close-in new-construction options.

The Highlands at Stone Hall is zoned for Hermitage Elementary, Donelson Middle School, and McGavock High School. School zoning and boundaries can change, so we confirm the current assignment for any specific homesite with you before you write an offer.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move quickly, so before you write an offer at The Highlands at Stone Hall, confirm the current picture with us rather than relying on a listing snapshot. The numbers and facts on this page reflect builder and MLS figures at the time of writing — pricing, available floor plans, which homesites are released in the current phase, and inventory all change as the community sells out.

• Current pricing and any standing builder incentives — we pull live numbers for you
• Which phase and homesites are currently released and available
• Exact lot dimensions, orientation, and any premiums on the specific homesite
• HOA dues, what they cover, and the community governing documents
• The current standard-versus-upgrade feature list and design-center pricing
• Current school-zone assignment for the specific address

We will not guess at any of these for you — we get the exact figures from Meritage and the current listing data and tell you what they actually are before you commit.
