Hickory Bay Towers

Hickory Bay Towers at a glance

Hickory Bay Towers is an established five-story condominium building at 200 Sanders Ferry Road in Hendersonville, Sumner County, completed in 1985 and home to 116 units. It sits directly across from Old Hickory Lake, about 17 miles north of downtown Nashville, with elevated views of the water from its upper floors. Floor plans run two- and three-bedroom: two-bedroom units range roughly 1,190 to 1,462 square feet with two bathrooms, and three-bedroom units range about 1,428 to 1,539 square feet with two to three bathrooms. The community sits on Sanders Ferry Road, the one verified street address for the building, and is professionally managed with a full slate of on-site amenities.

The honest version of the lake relationship is straightforward: this is a lake-view community, not waterfront. The building looks out over Old Hickory Lake from across the road rather than sitting on private shoreline, and the most reliable water access for residents is the public boat launch at adjacent Sanders Ferry Park, roughly half a mile south. Because it offers single-level, low-maintenance, elevator-served living with a pool, fitness center, and lake views — and an active resale and rental market — Hickory Bay Towers tends to draw buyers who want condominium ownership near the water without the upkeep of a single-family home.

Which lots actually reach the water

The single most important thing to understand about Hickory Bay Towers is that it is a lake-view building, not a waterfront one. The five-story tower sits directly across from Old Hickory Lake on Sanders Ferry Road, and its upper floors deliver elevated views over the water — but the building itself does not occupy private shoreline, and no individual unit comes with its own slice of waterfront. There are no deeded community boat slips or private docks that we were able to independently verify for residents.

Some marketing materials reference a "private dock" as an amenity. We could not independently confirm actual dock access, slip allocation, or deeded dock rights for the community, so we treat that as unverified rather than a guarantee — and we'd encourage any buyer for whom a dock matters to confirm the specifics directly with the HOA or listing agent before relying on it. What is well documented is the everyday water access most residents actually use: the public boat launch at adjacent Sanders Ferry Park, about half a mile south of the building. That ramp is free to use, ADA-compliant, and one of the busier launches on this part of the lake.

One more point that keeps buyers honest about docks anywhere on Old Hickory Lake: Old Hickory Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Nashville District) reservoir, and dock access on Corps reservoirs is generally governed by the Corps' shoreline-management permitting rather than something that automatically attaches to a property or transfers with a sale — so any specific dock claim is worth confirming in writing. For a lake-view condominium like Hickory Bay Towers, the practical takeaway is simpler: plan around the building's views and the nearby public ramp, and verify any specific dock claim in writing rather than assuming private lake access.

The market here

Across active and recent listings from 2024 through 2026, resale at Hickory Bay Towers has generally run in the range of about $239,000 to $335,000. Two-bedroom units have tended to list starting around $239,000 to $270,000, and three-bedroom units around $265,000 to $335,000 — broadly tracking unit size, floor (and therefore view), and condition. The community supports an active resale market, with units regularly listed and sold, alongside some rental availability.

In a condominium building like this one, the variables that most move price are the floor and view (higher floors capture the elevated Old Hickory Lake outlook), the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the square footage within each plan, and the interior condition and updates of the specific unit. Monthly HOA dues — reported at roughly $315 per month and managed by Associa Tennessee (615-775-9050) — typically cover building and exterior upkeep and the shared amenities, which is part of the appeal of low-maintenance ownership here. These figures describe past and active listings only; for what's actually on the market today, recent closed comparables, and current HOA details, we pull live MLS figures and HOA documents for you.

Life on the lake here

Day to day, Hickory Bay Towers is built around lake views and shared amenities rather than private shoreline. Residents have a swimming pool, a fitness center, a library, a game room, and a club room for gatherings, plus walking trails on the grounds. The building offers single-level condominium living with elevator access, a secure lobby, and trash chutes — the kind of features that make low-maintenance ownership easy, especially for buyers stepping out of a larger home.

For time on the water, the anchor is adjacent Sanders Ferry Park, which offers a popular public boat launch on Old Hickory Lake — no launch fee, an ADA-compliant ramp, and well over 100,000 visitors a year. Being able to walk or drive a few minutes to a free, well-used ramp is the practical version of lake living here: you get the elevated water views from the building and an easy on-ramp to the lake itself, without owning or maintaining a dock. From the upper floors, the elevated views of Old Hickory Lake are the signature feature of the community.

Location, access & schools
