Cades Bluff

Cades Bluff at a glance

Cades Bluff is an active single-family new-construction community in Lebanon, Wilson County, set near the intersection of Highway 109 and Highway 70 — a corridor that keeps you a short hop from I-40 and an easy run toward Old Hickory Lake. It's built by Ashton Woods and is currently selling, with new homes priced from $349,995. The community has seen steady absorption: 38 homes have closed (2024–2026), with 6 active listings and 7 under contract as of June 2026, so there's real inventory moving here without it being sold out.

The lineup is single-family only, spanning nine floor plans from 1,420 to 2,722 square feet and 3 to 5 bedrooms — a range that fits first-time buyers, move-up households, and out-of-state relocators who want a brand-new home within about 30 minutes of Nashville. The $50/month HOA covers grounds maintenance and trash, which keeps the day-to-day light. Buyers drawn to Cades Bluff tend to want new construction at an accessible Lebanon price point with quick access to the lake and the Providence Marketplace shopping district.

Who builds in Cades Bluff

Cades Bluff is built entirely by Ashton Woods, a national homebuilder that handles every section of the community — so the architecture, finishes, and warranty are consistent across the neighborhood rather than split among several builders. That single-builder structure makes Cades Bluff straightforward to shop: one design language, one set of floor plans, and one team to coordinate your build.

Ashton Woods leans into curated interior design through its Collections design palettes — pre-coordinated finish packages that let buyers choose a look without starting from a blank selections sheet. Homes are built with energy-efficient construction. Because we tour Wilson County new construction regularly, we can walk you through how Ashton Woods structures its build process, what's standard versus an upgrade, and how Cades Bluff compares to the other new communities in and around Lebanon and Mt. Juliet.

You can view the current plan details, elevations, and live availability on Ashton Woods' official Cades Bluff page. As of the latest data there were 5 quick move-in homes available — already-under-construction or completed homes for buyers who don't want to wait on a full build. Lot sizes aren't specified in the builder materials we've reviewed, so we confirm the exact homesite dimensions with you for any plan you're considering.

On financing, Cades Bluff homes have been eligible across USDA, VA, FHA, and conventional loans — a wider-than-usual menu that's worth knowing if you're a veteran or exploring a USDA rural option in this part of Wilson County. We'll connect the dots between the plan you want, its price, and the loan program that fits.

Amenities & community life

Cades Bluff's appeal is largely about location and the outdoors rather than a big on-site amenity center. The standout is proximity to Old Hickory Lake: the Lone Branch Recreation Area nearby offers a boat ramp and fishing access, so weekends on the water are part of the draw for buyers who want lake life within minutes of home.

Day to day, the community sits close to Providence Marketplace, one of the area's larger retail and dining districts, which puts grocery, shopping, and restaurants within an easy drive. The $50/month HOA covers grounds maintenance and trash service. We'll confirm the current HOA scope and any community details with you before you write an offer.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move week to week, so before you write an offer we'll pull live numbers and confirm the specifics with you:

• Current pricing and which floor plans and quick move-in homes are actually available right now
• The phase and homesite — lot size and dimensions, since lot sizes aren't published in the builder materials
• The current HOA dues and exactly what they cover (the $50/month figure covers grounds maintenance and trash as of our last review)
• Any active Ashton Woods incentive or rate program, which can change month to month
• Your financing fit across USDA, VA, FHA, and conventional, and how each affects your bottom line
