McCain's Station

McCain's Station is not a typical Gallatin subdivision, and understanding that upfront saves you a lot of confusion when you research it. It is the residential heart of a 130.78-acre mixed-use master plan sitting directly at the Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (SR 386) and Big Station Camp Boulevard interchange on Gallatin's west side — approved for 112 single-family detached lots, 195 attached townhome units, 377 higher-density townhome and flat units, and six commercial outparcels. The City of Gallatin lists the whole project as 'Under Construction.' So when you buy a single-family home here, you are buying into a small district — homes, apartments, townhomes, and a future retail edge — not a self-contained loop of detached houses.

The single-family side, which is what most buyers reading this page are shopping, is built by The Jones Company — the Nashville-market brand of CastleRock Communities. You'll see the community listed under both names depending on the portal, which trips people up; it is one builder, one product line. As of mid-2026 that section is actively selling but visibly in its later phases, with move-in-ready inventory and listing remarks flagging 'final' opportunities on some plans. Here's the full picture, sourced and dated, including the parts most listings don't tell you.

The master plan and how it got here

The 2019 preliminary master development plan laid out the shape you see today: up to 684 homes, roughly 32 acres of retail and commercial along the front of the property facing SR 386, about 80 acres of residential at the rear, and a 15-acre high-density area allowing up to 25 flats or townhome units per acre. Gallatin City Council approved the development plan and rezoning unanimously — first reading January 7, 2020 — with MAB American Management named as developer and manager. Construction was slated to begin in 2021, with overall build-out targeted for January 2027. The approved commercial component at the time included a shopping center anchored by a Publix supermarket.

Most of that plan has since become real. The residential rear is well along: the Jones Company single-family streets (Rawling Lane, Cryer Drive, Joyner Court, Pryor Drive, Clendening Drive), the attached townhomes clustered along Tompkins Lane, and — filling the high-density parcel — Statler McCain's Station at 3369 Provine Boulevard, a professionally managed rental community run by Mission Rock Residential offering one- to three-bedroom apartments plus split-level rental townhomes with attached garages, private yards, and on-site EV charging. A professionally managed rental component inside the master plan is genuinely unusual for a Gallatin community, and it's part of why McCain's Station feels more like a district than a subdivision.

The commercial front is moving on its own track. The City of Gallatin's current project list shows a 45,000-square-foot McCain's Station retail building on 8.65 acres with final approval, a memory care facility on 3.38 acres now final, and an approved restaurant parcel (Lot 4) — all on the SR 386 edge of the property. One honest caveat: the 2020 approval coverage described a Publix-anchored center, but the city's current list shows the 45,000 sq ft retail building without a named anchor, and a Publix has since opened nearby at Newman's Crossing. We have not verified whether a grocery anchor is still coming inside McCain's Station itself — if the retail edge matters to your decision, ask us to pull the current city project status before you write an offer.

Who builds here, and what it costs

The single-family detached homes — all 112 lots — are built by CastleRock Communities, operating in the Nashville market as The Jones Company. National portals list the community under CastleRock; the builder's own site markets it as McCain Station on livejones.com. Same company, same homes. One builder means one consistent plan library, one standard-features sheet, and one design-center process to learn, which simplifies comparison shopping inside the community but also means there's no cross-builder price competition on the detached side.

On price, here is the honest, dated picture rather than a single teaser number. As of 2026-09-07 there were four builder-new active homes listed $459,990 to $549,990, and ten actives of all kinds ranging $290,000 to $679,900 (RealTracs via MLS GRID, as of 2026-09-07). The low end is the smallest builder-new plan and the top end is a large, optioned inventory home. We can't predict where prices go from here — nobody honestly can — but we can tell you exactly what's available and at what number the day you call.

The master plan also includes a separately built attached-townhome section — 195 units approved, clustered primarily along Tompkins Lane. These are two-story units of roughly 1,503–1,776 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 1-car garages, priced in the low-to-mid $300,000s as of the most recent data. That gives McCain's Station a wider price spread than most Sumner County new-construction neighborhoods — from the low $300s attached to the high $400s-to-$630s detached. The townhomes are a separate product line from the single-family side, with their own builder, features, and HOA structure — and they are the larger transacting segment here, with 42 closings against 23 on the detached side over the rolling 12 months (RealTracs via MLS GRID, as of 2026-09-07). If that's the product you're shopping, we'll pull current availability and terms live.

Builder incentives change monthly and are usually negotiable on top of what's advertised, especially on standing inventory late in a community's build-out. Treat any advertised incentive as the starting point of the conversation, not the end of it.

Floor plans and what the homes are like

Verified single-family plans include the Bierstadt (4 bed / 3 bath, about 2,614 sq ft, main-level living with a bonus room and fourth bedroom up), the Rushmore (5 bed / 4 bath, about 3,432 sq ft, offered in a dual-primary-suite configuration — two full owner's suites, a layout you won't see on every plan), the Pedernales (a one-level ranch), the Sabine, and the Albright. Overall the detached homes run roughly 1,760–3,475 square feet (RealTracs via MLS GRID, as of 2026-09-07) with 3–5 bedrooms and 2-car garages — this is squarely the more-room-per-household end of the Gallatin new-build market, not the entry level.

Construction and finish, per 2025–2026 MLS descriptions: fiber-cement (hardboard) and brick or stone exteriors, quartz countertops, gas cooktops with built-in wall ovens, vaulted great rooms with gas fireplaces, and covered rear decks. One late-phase reality check: listing remarks in 2026 have flagged final opportunities on certain plans, so if a specific plan is the reason you're interested, confirm it's still buildable before you plan a visit.

On lot sizes: the master plan tells us that this is standard suburban-density detached construction — 112 lots sharing roughly 80 residential acres with the townhome and flat parcels — so don't expect estate lots. For a specific homesite, the exact dimensions live in RealTracs and Sumner County GIS records, and we pull those for our buyers as a matter of course. Ask us to run it for any lot you're considering.

What has actually sold here

The most useful numbers on this page are what homes have actually closed for. Rolling 12-month RealTracs data shows 23 closed single-family sales (RealTracs via MLS GRID, as of 2026-09-07); we don't publish the median. Across all product types in the master plan, the same window shows 65 total closings.

• 412 Rawling Ln — Bierstadt plan, 4 bed / 3 bath, 2,614 sq ft, 2025-built — sold May 8, 2026.
• 404 Rawling Ln — Rushmore dual-primary, 5 bed / 4 bath, 3,432 sq ft, 2025-built — sold June 12, 2026.
• As of 2026-09-07: four builder-new homes active at $459,990–$549,990, and ten actives of all kinds at $290,000–$679,900 (RealTracs via MLS GRID, as of 2026-09-07). Ask us for the live list by address before you tour.

Amenities and the HOA

The amenity package here is modest and walkability-centered, and you should know that going in: a playground, a walking trail connecting the residential sections, sidewalks throughout, and underground utilities. There is no pool, no clubhouse, no golf, and no marina inside the neighborhood. The master plan's real long-term amenity play is the commercial front — retail and services you could eventually walk to — plus the medical campus already across the street. If a resort-style pool and a programmed clubhouse calendar are your priority, other Sumner County master plans deliver that; McCain's Station's answer is lower dues and future storefronts instead.

That trade shows up directly in the HOA math. Single-family dues run $35–$40 per month — 2026 MLS listings show $40/month plus a $300 one-time fee — covering maintenance of common grounds including the playground and sidewalks. That is a fraction of what amenity-heavy communities in the county charge, precisely because there's no pool or clubhouse to fund. The townhome section carries a higher fee that covers grounds maintenance for the attached units. There is no dedicated HOA or community website, so the covenants, restrictions, and current budget need to be pulled from the builder or management directly — we do that for our buyers as part of due diligence, and it's where you'd confirm things like boat and RV parking rules before assuming anything.

Location and commute

Location is this community's strongest single card. McCain's Station sits directly at the Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (SR 386) / Big Station Camp Boulevard interchange — Exit 12 — on Gallatin's west side. That is essentially zero-distance parkway access: you're on the region's main commuter corridor before most Gallatin residents have gotten out of their neighborhood. School zoning is assigned by address, is set by Sumner County Schools, and changes over time. Look up the current zone for a specific address on the district's own Find My School Zone tool (https://www.sumnerschools.org/); we will confirm it with you before you write an offer. We report zoning as a fact to verify and do not rate or characterize schools.

Real drive times, honestly stated: downtown Gallatin is about 10 minutes via Highway 31E, Hendersonville is 15–20 minutes west, and downtown Nashville is roughly 40–50 minutes depending on traffic, via Vietnam Veterans Parkway to I-65. Drive your actual commute at your actual hour before you commit — it is the one variable no listing will quote you accurately.

The flip side of interchange adjacency is worth saying plainly: you are next to a highway and a commercial edge that will eventually include a 45,000 sq ft retail building, a memory care facility and a restaurant parcel. For many buyers that's exactly the convenience they're paying for. If you're sensitive to road noise or headlights, stand on the specific lot you're considering — at different times of day — and check what's platted on the parcels around it. We'll pull the site plan so you know what's approved next to you, not just what's built today.

Old Hickory Lake — what's real and what isn't

McCain's Station is not a lake community, and no one should sell it to you as one. It sits inland on the Station Camp corridor. What is real: Old Hickory Lake — the 22,500-acre Cumberland River reservoir — is reached down the same road. Cages Bend Recreation Area, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground with a public boat ramp, fishing docks, a playground, and a picnic shelter, is accessed via the same Exit 12 / Big Station Camp Boulevard corridor that serves the community. So a boat ramp is a short drive from your garage, but there's no water, marina, or lake view inside the neighborhood. If you'll be towing a boat, confirm the HOA's parking and storage rules first — suburban covenants commonly restrict visible boat and RV storage, and we haven't verified this community's rule either way.

Schools

We don't rate or endorse schools — evaluate them yourself using the Tennessee State Report Card at tn.gov/education. Attendance zones are set by the district and can change, so confirm the current assignment for the specific address with Sumner County Schools before you buy, not after. Zoning is set by Sumner County Schools — confirm the current zone for a specific address at https://www.sumnerschools.org/. We do not rate or characterize schools.

The honest buyer's read

Here is the trade you're actually making at McCain's Station. You're getting later-phase new construction from an established builder, genuinely large floor plans including a rare dual-primary layout, immediate parkway access, an ER across the street, a middle school next door, and HOA dues under $500 a year. You're giving up the resort amenity package, mature trees, and large lots. The master plan mixes detached homes, attached townhomes, a professionally managed rental community, and a commercial edge that is still building out. Some buyers want that mix; others want detached homes surrounded only by detached homes, and Gallatin has communities that offer that instead. Neither read is wrong; they're different purchases.

The late-phase timing cuts both ways too. Buying now, you can see most of what you're getting — streets built, rental community operating, retail parcels approved — instead of betting on renderings. The cost is selection: fewer plans and lots remain, and 2026 remarks already flag final opportunities on some of them. And a standard late-phase caution: while the builder still has new inventory in the community, an owner who needs to resell early is competing against it. The longer you plan to hold, the less that matters — that's a horizon question, not a prediction, and it's worth thinking through before you sign.

One more honesty note: there is no dedicated community or HOA website for McCain's Station, and the builder's pages are thin on specifics. That means more of the verification burden falls on you — or on an agent willing to pull city records, RealTracs data, and HOA documents directly. That's the work we do, and it's why the list below exists.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing and the incentive package — incentives change monthly. Get the current offer in writing and negotiate from there.
• Exact lot dimensions — pull them from RealTracs or Sumner County GIS for the specific homesite before you assume anything about yard size.
• The HOA documents — current dues, the CC&Rs, boat/RV parking and storage rules, and whether the association is still under builder control. No community website exists, so get these from the builder or management directly.
• The commercial phase status — the 45,000 sq ft retail building has final approval, the memory care facility is now final, and a restaurant parcel is approved; whether a grocery anchor lands on-site is unverified. Check the City of Gallatin 'Developments in Gallatin' project list, or ask us to pull it live.
• What's platted on the parcels adjacent to your lot — in a mixed-use plan, the difference between backing to single-family, townhomes, or the commercial edge matters for daily life and resale.
• School zoning for the exact address — zones are set by the district and can change; confirm with Sumner County Schools.
• Your real commute — drive SR 386 to your actual destination at your actual departure time; plan on 40–50 minutes to downtown Nashville in real traffic.
• The standard-vs-upgrade sheet and warranty terms — one builder means one feature list; read what's actually included at the advertised price before comparing it to other communities' numbers.
