Imperial Point

Imperial Point at a glance

Imperial Point is a small Old Hickory Lake community in Hendersonville, in Sumner County, Tennessee. The homes line a single street—Imperial Point Drive—just off Sanders Ferry Road, with roughly 18 single-family residences in the pocket. It sits in Hendersonville's established shoreline area, directly across from and adjacent to Sanders Ferry Park, one of the lake's busiest public access points. This is not a sprawling master-planned subdivision; it's an intimate cluster of lakefront and near-lake homes where individual properties, lots, and water access vary from address to address.

The honest one-line version: Imperial Point is a genuine Old Hickory Lake waterfront enclave, with several confirmed private-dock homes and other lots that range from waterfront with dock potential to lake-view. Buyers drawn here are almost always water-focused—people who want boating, dock access, or panoramic lake views close to a public ramp—rather than buyers shopping by amenity package, since this is a small, individually owned collection of homes rather than a large amenity-driven community.

Which lots actually reach the water

This is the section that matters most at Imperial Point, because "on the lake" means different things at different addresses, and we never paint with a broad brush. Some lots are true waterfront with their own docks; some appear to be waterfront with dock potential; and others may be lake-view only. The full lot-by-lot breakdown is not something we'll claim to have memorized—so before you make an offer, we confirm the exact water relationship for that specific parcel.

What is confirmed: multiple properties—including 111, 105, and 113 Imperial Point—feature private docks with direct Old Hickory Lake access. 111 Imperial Point is a waterfront home with a private dock and panoramic lake views on a roughly one-acre lot. 105 Imperial Point is a 7-plus-acre lakefront estate with a covered boat dock and a 6,000-lb boat lift. 113 Imperial Point sits on a lakefront peninsula with a covered boat dock near the marina. 100 Imperial Point is a lake-view farmhouse positioned between two nearby marinas.

One critical detail on docks: on Old Hickory Lake, private docks are governed by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permits that are issued per parcel. A dock permit does not automatically transfer when a property sells. So even at an address with an existing dock, we verify the permit status and transferability as part of due diligence—because a dock you can see is not the same as a dock you're guaranteed to keep or rebuild. We'd rather have that conversation up front than have you find out after closing.

For launching and access, the community sits beside Sanders Ferry Park, a public Old Hickory Lake access point with a boat ramp and docks, and within reach of nearby marinas. That public ramp is a real convenience even for homeowners without a private dock of their own.

The market here

Across resale and active listings, Imperial Point homes have spanned a wide band—roughly $365,000 on the lower end up to about $2.45 million for the premier lakefront properties—with recent sales clustering in the $600,000 to $825,000 range. That spread reflects how much an individual lot's water relationship drives value: a true waterfront lot with a private dock and lake views (like the estate offered at $1,500,000 or the lake-view farmhouse listed at $825,000) prices very differently from a near-lake or lake-view property on the same street.

What moves the number here is straightforward: direct waterfront versus lake-view, the presence and condition of a private dock, lot size and acreage, and the condition of the home itself. Because this is a small community where homes turn over individually, listings can be sparse and pricing is best understood address by address. We don't predict where prices are headed—instead, we pull live MLS figures for you on every active and recently sold property at Imperial Point so you're working from current, verified numbers rather than a stale online estimate.

Life on the lake here

Day-to-day, Imperial Point is about the water. Select lots have private docks—some covered, some with boat lifts—so boating, fishing, and getting out on Old Hickory Lake can start right from your own backyard. The lakefront peninsula and waterfront sites put homeowners close to the open lake and the marinas, and several homes enjoy panoramic lake views.

Even without a private dock, lake life is close at hand. The community sits next to Sanders Ferry Park, a major public recreation area and boat launch on Old Hickory Lake that draws over 100,000 visitors a year, with an upgraded ramp and docks (2025 and beyond). Between the park's public launch and the nearby marinas, getting a boat on the water—or just spending an afternoon by the lake—is part of the everyday rhythm here.

Location, access & schools

Imperial Point is located on Imperial Point Drive off Sanders Ferry Road in Hendersonville, ZIP 37075. The setting puts you immediately beside Sanders Ferry Park's public boat ramp and docks, with nearby marinas flanking the community—the lake-view farmhouse at 100 Imperial Point, for instance, sits between two of them. For boaters, that means multiple ways onto Old Hickory Lake within minutes of the front door.

The community is zoned to Lakeside Park Elementary School, V.G. Hawkins Middle School, and Hendersonville High School. School zoning can change, so we recommend confirming current attendance boundaries directly with Sumner County Schools for any specific address before you buy.
