Chesapeake Harbor

Chesapeake Harbor at a glance

Chesapeake Harbor is an established single-family neighborhood on the Walton Ferry peninsula in Hendersonville, set in the 37075 zip code of Sumner County and positioned to overlook Old Hickory Lake. The homes here went up between 1997 and 2006, and the community was platted and largely established by 1998. You'll find predominantly brick construction with generous floor plans — most homes run four to five bedrooms, two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half baths, and average around 3,100 square feet. Streets include Chesapeake Harbor Boulevard, Coarsely Boulevard, Herons Nest Lane, Lighthouse Circle, and Southlawn Circle.

On the honest lake question: this is a lake-view community, not a waterfront one. The peninsula setting gives many homes scenic vantage points over Old Hickory Lake, but the public sources describe views rather than deeded shoreline or a private community dock. It's a modest, peaceful subdivision — based on three active listings in June 2026, we'd estimate roughly 30 to 50 homes total — that tends to draw buyers who want room to spread out, brick construction, and the lake within easy reach. We pull live MLS counts and any HOA details for you before you tour.

Which lots actually reach the water

This is the section that matters most on any Old Hickory Lake search, so here's the precise picture for Chesapeake Harbor. The community is positioned on the Walton Ferry peninsula overlooking the lake, and the available sources consistently describe "lake views" rather than waterfront. There is no explicit confirmation of private dock access or deeded waterfront shoreline tied to the subdivision, so we don't market it as a dock community — and we'd caution you against assuming any individual lot reaches the water until we verify it parcel by parcel.

For water access, residents rely on nearby public and private options rather than a community dock. The Walton Ferry Access Area provides a public boat ramp close by, and Hendersonville's full-service marinas — Anchor High Marina and Drakes Creek Marina — are within easy reach for slip rental, fuel, and service. One important note for anyone hoping to find a true waterfront parcel anywhere on Old Hickory: the lake is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, individual dock permits are issued per parcel, and a permit does not automatically transfer with a sale. If waterfront or a private dock is a must-have, tell us up front and we'll steer you to the lots and communities where that's actually documented.

The market here

As of June 2026, Chesapeake Harbor had three active listings ranging from about $525,000 to $564,900, with an average around $541,633 (per nashvillesmls.com). Recent resales between 2021 and 2025 spanned roughly $475,000 to $589,900, which gives you a sense of where this all-brick, 3,100-square-foot inventory has traded over the past few years.

Value in a small lake-view neighborhood like this generally tracks the things you can see and verify: the strength and angle of the lake view, lot size and position on the peninsula, square footage and bedroom count, and the condition and updates inside a home that was built in the late 1990s or early 2000s. We don't make price predictions — instead, we pull the live MLS comps, days-on-market, and current active and pending figures for Chesapeake Harbor and the surrounding Walton Ferry area so you're working from real numbers, not estimates.
