Summit at Carter's Station at a glance

Summit at Carter's Station is an actively selling master-planned new-construction community in Columbia, the seat of Maury County, Tennessee, with its model and sales area on Wellwind Road in the 38401 ZIP code. It sits within the broader Carter's Station development along the fast-growing corridor between Columbia and Spring Hill, south of Nashville. The community was planned for 166 single-family lots across roughly 50 acres, with construction underway since June 2022, and it remains in active selling status as of June 2026. The homes are all-new single-family construction.

Homes here are built by Starlight Homes across seven floor plans ranging from about 1,827 to 2,722 square feet, with three to five bedrooms, priced from $339,995. Because the plan lineup spans right-sized layouts up through larger five-bedroom homes — all under one master plan with a pool and play areas — the community tends to draw first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and households relocating to the Columbia and Spring Hill area who want a brand-new home at an accessible entry price. We tour new-construction communities like this one constantly, so we can help you compare Summit against the other neighborhoods inside Carter's Station and across Maury County, and we pull live numbers so you are looking at the homes actually available this week.

Homes & floor plans

Summit at Carter's Station offers single-family homes across seven floor plans — the Luminary, Firefly, Beacon, Radiance, Splendor, Solstice, and Galileo. Sizes run from about 1,827 to 2,722 finished square feet, with three to five bedrooms, so the range covers everything from a right-sized three-bedroom layout up to a larger five-bedroom plan with room to grow. Pricing starts at $339,995. The community was planned for 166 single-family lots across roughly 50 acres; individual homesite dimensions are not published as a single figure, so the right lot depends on the plan and the section, which we confirm for you.

Starlight's homes here are designed to be move-in ready, and the standard features include stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, updated cabinetry, energy-efficient design, and a two-car garage. Starlight publishes each floor plan, its included features, and current pricing on its official community page, and available homes change over time. Rather than rely on a static list, we pull the live plan availability and pricing for you and line the plans up against your must-haves on bedrooms and square footage.

Amenities & community life

As a master-planned community, Summit at Carter's Station is designed around shared outdoor space. The amenities include a swimming pool with a cabana, a tot lot, a grass play area, and on-site parking facilities. Day to day, that means a neighborhood where you can spend a warm-weather afternoon at the pool, let kids use the tot lot and the open play area, and have dedicated parking for gatherings — all without leaving the community.

The primary street in the community is Wellwind Road, off which the model and sales area are located. As with any community still building out, the exact amenity roster and any HOA-managed features are worth confirming as later phases complete; if amenities and outdoor space are high on your list, we can compare what is offered here against the other neighborhoods inside Carter's Station and elsewhere in the Columbia and Spring Hill area.

Location, access & schools

Summit at Carter's Station is located off Wellwind Road in Columbia, in the 38401 ZIP code, within the broader Carter's Station development along the Columbia–Spring Hill corridor. That position puts both downtown Columbia and Spring Hill, along with shopping, dining, and the commuter routes north toward Franklin and Nashville, within reach. This stretch of Maury County has seen steady new development, so you will find a growing base of retail and services nearby in both directions.

Homes in Summit at Carter's Station are served by Maury County Public Schools. The currently zoned schools are Battle Creek Elementary School, Spring Hill Middle School, and Spring Hill High School. School zoning and attendance boundaries can change with district adjustments and new-school openings, and they are sometimes split by phase, so we always confirm the exact assigned schools for a specific homesite directly with Maury County Public Schools before you write an offer — this is a detail we never want a relocating buyer to assume.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move quickly, so a few things are worth confirming with us before you write an offer. We will pull the current starting price and plan-by-plan pricing, the latest available and quick move-in homes, and which phase and homesites are currently releasing. We will also confirm the current HOA dues and what they cover (the published figure is about $75 per month, which we verify is still current), the lot specifics and any homesite premiums, included features versus options, and the exact assigned schools for the homesite you are considering. Starlight's incentives and any promotional financing also change, so we verify those live rather than working from a published figure.
