Saundersville Station

Saundersville Station is a single-family new-construction community off Saundersville Road in Hendersonville, built by Southeastern Building Corporation, which is selling out the final phase nestled between the Wynbrooke and Saundersville sections. Current builder inventory on Settlers Way runs from $588,900 to $626,160, the model home is at 223 Settlers Way, and the community carries two community pools, tennis courts, a clubhouse, and a playground, with the Sumner County Greenway entrance right at the neighborhood and Indian Lake Boulevard a short drive away.

The builder: who is Southeastern Building Corporation?

Southeastern Building Corporation is the sole, currently active builder at Saundersville Station — verified on the builder's own community page and in the live MLS listings, where the Settlers Way homes are listed by Southeastern Select Properties, Inc. (for example, the model at 223 Settlers Way, MLS #3225394). It's a Hendersonville-based home builder led by president David Luckey, a third-generation builder whose work in the Nashville and Hendersonville area dates to 1987, operating under the company tagline "Dream Big. Live Better." The home office is at 100 Bluegrass Commons Blvd., Suite 200, Hendersonville, TN 37075, and the builder's sales line for the community is 615-826-9700.

On how they build: Southeastern Building builds from a set library of named plans, production-style. You choose from a library of named, repeating floor plans — at Saundersville Station, nine of them — plus any available quick-move-in inventory homes, rather than designing a custom house from scratch. A few of those plans also appear in the company's other Middle Tennessee communities — the Cumberland, Garrison, and Henley, for instance, are also offered at Westfield (the Manor and Carriage Home lines) — while the other Saundersville Station plans are exclusive to this community. Southeastern's service area covers Nashville, Hendersonville, Gallatin, Lebanon, and the surrounding Sumner County and Middle Tennessee counties.

The company has been recognized on the Nashville Business Journal's Top Residential Builders list, earned GuildQuality's Guild Master award (2008 and 2010), and holds National Association of Home Builders community and plan awards. Southeastern provides a one-year builder's warranty, run by an in-house warranty department at the same Bluegrass Commons address (615-824-2500 x33, warranty@southeasternbuilding.net, Monday–Friday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.).

The homes & floor plans

Saundersville Station is single-family only, with three- and four-bedroom plans. Southeastern offers nine named floor plans here, ranging from about 2,052 square feet up to as much as 2,885 square feet on the largest configuration. The lineup steps cleanly from two entry plans through a pair of mid-size plans to a cluster of large three-bedroom designs near 2,400–2,575 square feet, then tops out with the configurable Henley. Every plan brochure can be viewed online — the View links go straight to the builder's own plan PDFs:

• Radnor — 3 bed / 2 bath, ~2,052 sq ft, with all bedrooms on the main level plus a bonus room upstairs. The smallest plan and the most accessible entry, and the only plan with all bedrooms on the main floor: a buyer who wants the primary and secondary bedrooms all on the main level, with an occasional-use room above for guests, media, or play, gets both without paying for a full second floor of finished space. It's also the only plan with just two full baths. View plan
• Collins — 3 bed / 2.5 bath, ~2,081 sq ft. A compact three-bedroom with a half bath for guests — one of the two smallest plans, suited to downsizers or first move-up buyers who prioritize price and low upkeep over extra rooms. It adds a half bath over the Radnor at a similar size. View plan
• Cumberland — 3–4 bed / 2.5 bath, ~2,178 sq ft. The first step up in flexibility: it can be built as a 3- or 4-bedroom, so a buyer who needs a fourth bedroom or a dedicated home office without jumping to a larger plan can configure it that way at a mid-2,000s footprint. With the Henley, it's one of only two plans offering the 3-or-4-bedroom choice. View plan
• Sullivan — 3 bed / 2.5 bath, ~2,205 sq ft. A mid-size three-bedroom that sits between the entry plans and the larger trio — more room than the sub-2,100 plans, but without stepping up to the 2,400-plus designs. The builder markets the Sullivan A as a stately all-brick home with cedar-look shake siding above the garage. The fit for a buyer who wants a little more space at three bedrooms and two and a half baths. View plan
• Ellington — 3 bed / 2.5 bath, ~2,440 sq ft. A larger three-bedroom with generous main-level space — for a household that wants room to spread out but is happy with three sleeping rooms. View plan
• Billington — 3 bed / 2.5 bath, ~2,463 sq ft. A larger three-bedroom for a buyer who wants nearly 2,500 square feet without a fourth bedroom. It's nearly identical in size to the Garrison and Ellington, so the choice among these three comes down to layout rather than bedroom or bath count. View plan
• Garrison — 3 bed / 2.5 bath, ~2,485 sq ft. The largest of the 2,400-2,500-square-foot tier (Ellington, Billington, Garrison), just under 2,500 square feet, for a buyer who wants a roomy three-bedroom configuration with a powder room for guests but doesn't need the Rowan's extra footage. View plan
• Rowan — 3 bed / 2.5 bath, ~2,575 sq ft as marketed (the builder's floor-plan sheet lists 2,583). An all-brick design and the largest standard three-bedroom plan, and the one most current inventory is built to — all three of the standard for-sale homes on Settlers Way (205, 215, and 211) are this plan, with the fourth available home being the Cumberland-based model at 223. It offers the most main-and-upper living space of the fixed three-bedroom designs, with room for a study or flex area. View plan
• Henley — 3–4 bed / 2.5–3.5 bath, 2,645–2,885 sq ft. The largest and most configurable of the nine offered plans: 3 or 4 bedrooms, two and a half up to three and a half baths. Among these plans it's the only one that scales above 2,600 square feet and the only one configurable to 3.5 baths — for the buyer who needs the most space, a fourth bedroom, and extra bathrooms for a larger household or frequent guests.

A buyer who wants all bedrooms on one level should look at the Radnor — it's the only plan with every bedroom on the main floor (with a bonus room upstairs). A buyer who needs a fourth bedroom or the most space should look at the Cumberland or the Henley, the only two plans that build as 3 or 4 bedrooms (the Henley tops out larger on every measure). Everything in between — Collins, Sullivan, Ellington, Billington, Garrison, Rowan — is a fixed three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath plan, stepping up in square footage from about 2,081 to 2,575, so the choice there is mostly how much room you want and the specific layout.

Amenities

Saundersville Station's shared-amenity package includes:

• Two community swimming pools, maintained by the HOA.
• Tennis courts.
• A playground.
• A neighborhood clubhouse.
• Direct access to the Sumner County Greenway — the neighborhood sits at the trail entrance, so residents can walk or bike straight onto the greenway toward area schools.
• Underground utilities.
• Close to Indian Lake Boulevard, putting Hendersonville shopping, dining, and the Streets of Indian Lake within a short drive.

The HOA

Recent Saundersville Station listings have shown HOA dues of about $82 per month, billed as $246 quarterly. The exact figure can vary by section and home, so pull the current number from the live listing for the specific homesite. The dues maintain the two community pools, the clubhouse, the playground, the tennis courts, and the neighborhood common areas.

Location, commute & taxes

The community is off Saundersville Road in Hendersonville (37075), about 1.7 miles from Exit 8 on State Route 386 (Vietnam Veterans Boulevard), positioned between the Wynbrooke and Saundersville sections and right at the Sumner County Greenway entrance. From the exit, take Saundersville Road, turn onto Cannons Crossing, then onto Settlers Way; the model is at 223 Settlers Way. The Streets of Indian Lake — Hendersonville's main open-air retail, dining, and entertainment center at 300 Indian Lake Blvd — is a short drive via Indian Lake Boulevard, and Old Hickory Lake's waterfront recreation, including Sanders Ferry Park with its 18-hole disc golf course, ADA fishing pier, picnic shelters, and playground — plus the lakeside Sanders Ferry Greenway walking path nearby — is close at hand.

On commute, here are real off-peak numbers via the main corridor (clock your own at your actual commute hour, since rush hour shifts these):

• Downtown Nashville — about 17–18 miles, roughly 22–25 minutes via Saundersville Road to SR-386 (Vietnam Veterans Blvd) west, then I-65 South.
• Nashville International Airport (BNA) — about 22 miles, roughly 25 minutes via SR-386 to I-65 and Briley Parkway.
• Cool Springs / Franklin — about 39 miles, roughly 45–55 minutes off-peak via SR-386 to I-65 South through Nashville.

On property taxes, here are the real rates. Tennessee assesses residential property at 25% of appraised value. The Sumner County rate is $1.4210 per $100 of assessed value and the City of Hendersonville rate is $0.5883, for a combined $2.0093 per $100. So a Saundersville Station home around $589,000 has an assessed value of about $147,250, for roughly $2,959 a year in combined county-plus-city property tax; a home around $625,000 runs roughly $3,140 a year. Tennessee has no state income tax.

Saundersville Station (Settlers Way) is in the Station Camp attendance zone within Sumner County Schools (listed by name only as factual zoning — Sumner County rezones periodically, so confirm a specific homesite address with the district before purchase):

• Station Camp Elementary School — 1020 Bison Trail, Gallatin, TN 37066
• Station Camp Middle School — 281 Big Station Camp Blvd, Gallatin, TN 37066
• Station Camp High School — 1040 Bison Trail, Gallatin, TN 37066

How it compares

Among Hendersonville's selling new-construction communities, Saundersville Station sits at the lower-to-mid, value end on starting price and stands out on amenities: it's the only one here pairing two community pools with tennis courts, alongside a clubhouse and playground, and its single-builder structure means one design process and one warranty rather than the multi-builder choice in the bigger master-planned neighborhoods. A few concrete contrasts:

• Durham Farms (a master-planned community built out by multiple builders over time — Lennar, David Weekley, and Drees among them; Pulte and Schell Brothers have sold out here) — single-family, townhomes, and villas, with Lennar's Estate Villas currently starting around $399,990 (the $400,000s), a lower published entry than Saundersville Station. Its amenities (dog park, splash pad, firepits, playground, Wi-Fi cafe) are broad but don't include two pools and tennis courts. Durham Farms gives you a choice of builders and home types; Saundersville Station gives you one builder and a single-family focus.
• Millstone (Pulte Homes and Schell Brothers) — multi-builder, with single-family and attached product, 3–5 bedrooms, plus a fitness center, splash pad, and community amenity center; Pulte single-family currently starts around $589,990 and runs into the $700,000s, overlapping the top of Saundersville Station's range and reaching higher.
• The Hunt Club (Drees builds the gated Estates section; Wheeler Homes and Creekside Builders have also built here) — a single-family community on the Hendersonville–Gallatin line with a gated section and a neighborhood swim club; the difference from Saundersville Station is the builder mix, a gated section, and a swim club versus two community pools and tennis courts.
• The Cove at Old Hickory (Dalamar Homes) — low-maintenance attached homes (townhome and condominium-style), with some detached, from the low $600,000s near Old Hickory Lake, with 3–4 bedrooms like Saundersville Station; its entry sits above Saundersville Station's range and it adds attached, lock-and-leave options plus lake proximity.
• Oak Creek Estates (Schell Brothers) — a notably higher price point, from $979,900, on half-acre tree-lined homesites with 3–8 bedrooms across the plans; larger lots and homes and a higher entry than Saundersville Station, which counters with a lower entry and the two-pool amenity package.
• Anderson Park (Parkside Builders) — single-family homes and rowhomes from $365,900, a lower entry than Saundersville Station, with a pond, clubhouse, sidewalks, and playground; it adds an attached-home option, while Saundersville Station adds two community pools and tennis courts.

Net positioning by what you want: if you want two community pools plus tennis courts in a single-builder, single-family community, Saundersville Station is the fit. If you want a lower published entry price, Anderson Park starts at $365,900 and Durham Farms markets Estate Villas from around $399,990. If you want a townhome, villa, or attached low-maintenance home instead of single-family, look at Durham Farms, Millstone, Anderson Park, or The Cove at Old Hickory. If you want a larger home, Millstone reaches five bedrooms and Oak Creek Estates reaches eight. If you want a choice of builders rather than one, Durham Farms and Millstone are multi-builder. All of these are in Sumner County, which has no state income tax.

Two builder homes recently sold — 224 Settlers Way (4 bed, 2,517 sq ft) and 171 Settlers Way (3 bed, 2,176 sq ft). Aggregator listing copy has surfaced a builder incentive of up to $11,500 toward closing costs or a rate buy-down with the preferred lender and title company; confirm the current offer with the builder.

Beyond the builder's final-phase new homes, the established earlier sections of Saundersville Station (developed from the early 2000s) trade as resales below the new construction. Recent MLS-sourced closed resales in the subdivision have run roughly $415,000 to $750,000, with most landing in the mid-$400,000s to high-$500,000s, at a neighborhood-average of about $237 per square foot.

What to confirm before you buy here: the exact warranty terms and what's left on a specific home; the current included-features list and what's standard versus an upgrade on your plan; the current HOA dues for the specific home, read from the live listing; recent closed comps inside the community, pulled live from the MLS, so you know a home is priced right; and your real commute, clocked on a weekday at your actual hour.
