Every home in Cherry Grove is all-brick custom construction. Multiple builders have worked in the subdivision over its nearly two-decade buildout (2001-2019). The price range — $559K to $1.35M — reflects both the custom quality and the Williamson County location premium.
History and Development
Cherry Grove was planned and developed by Don R. Cameron III through Cameron Properties, LLC. The Cameron family has been developing land in Williamson County since 1980, when brothers Donnie and Tim Cameron started the company. Their residential portfolio across the Spring Hill area is extensive — Cherry Grove, Cherry Grove Addition, Cherry Glen, Cameron Farms, Autumn Ridge, The Arbors at Autumn Ridge, Dakota Pointe, and McLemore Farms all carry the Cameron Properties name.
Construction in Cherry Grove started around 2001, making it one of Cameron's earlier Spring Hill residential projects. The subdivision was built out across multiple phases over 18 years, wrapping up around 2019. Because it's a custom-builder model (not a production builder), the pace of development depended on individual lot sales and custom home contracts rather than a single builder working sequentially through phases.
The builders who have worked in Cherry Grove include several of Williamson County's established custom builders:
- R.G. Custom Homes, LLC — owned by Rob Galbreath, a fourth-generation builder
- Landmark Building Company — founded by Mark Mihacsi, licensed since 1996
- Firm Foundation Custom Homes — family-owned custom builder, projects starting at $750K
- Prominence Building Corp. — custom builder owned and operated by Randall Collier
- Celebration Homes — regional builder also active in Brixworth and other Spring Hill subdivisions
The multi-builder approach is what differentiates Cherry Grove from production-built neighborhoods. No two homes are identical. Each lot was sold to a buyer who then selected a builder and designed a custom home within the subdivision's architectural guidelines (all-brick construction, traditional styling).
Current status: Fully built out. All purchases are resale through MLS.
Location and Access
Cherry Grove sits off Buckner Lane on the north side of Spring Hill, which gives residents a geographic advantage for commuting — you can reach I-65 and Cool Springs/Franklin without driving through downtown Spring Hill.
Key distances and access points:
- Buckner Lane — primary access road, connects to Columbia Pike (US-31) and the I-65 corridor
- Summit High School — very close, just down Buckner Lane
- I-65: About 5 minutes via the Buckner Road / June Lake interchange (Exit 55, opened May 2024)
- I-840: About 5-10 minutes via Exit 28 to US-31
- Cool Springs Galleria / Franklin: About 15-20 minutes north
- Downtown Nashville: 30-35 miles, roughly 35 minutes without traffic
- Columbia Pike (US-31): A few minutes west, with groceries, retail, and dining
Streets in the subdivision: The street names follow an Australian theme — Alice Springs Circle, Brisbane Court, Brisbane Drive, Bunbury Drive, Canberra Court, Canberra Drive, Fitzroy Circle, Fremantle Circle, Stewart Campbell Pointe, and Wallaby Court. This naming convention is shared with the adjacent Cherry Grove Addition, which can add to the confusion between the two communities.
The Buckner Lane widening project (construction kicked off 2023, encompassing the road from Buckner Road to Duplex Road) will eventually improve traffic flow in front of the subdivision, though construction-phase delays are an ongoing reality for residents.
Homes
Cherry Grove is entirely single-family detached homes with all-brick exterior construction. Traditional and Colonial styles dominate, with stone accents on many homes. The custom-build model means there's genuine architectural variety from lot to lot.
Size range: 2,411 to 5,972 sq ft
Bedrooms: 4 to 5
Bathrooms: 3 to 5
Lot sizes: Typically 0.23 to 0.30 acres (quarter to one-third acre). These are not large lots for the price point — this is probably the most common criticism from buyers used to more acreage at the $800K+ level.
Garages: Primarily two-car attached (front-loading or side-loading); some three-car configurations.
Foundations: Crawl space construction throughout.
Common features: Hardwood floors, high ceilings, oversized windows, custom woodwork, stone accents, stainless steel appliances, arched entryways, formal proportions. Many homes feature main-level primary suites. Some properties have private in-ground pools in addition to the community pool.
Pricing (based on recent market data)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Sale price range | $559,000 - $1,350,000 |
| Median sale price | ~$800,000 |
| Average sale price | $836,126 |
| Price per sq ft range | $157 - $265 |
| Average days on market | ~109 |
The extended days-on-market figure is worth noting. At the $800K-$1.35M price point, the buyer pool in Spring Hill narrows. Custom homes also take longer to sell because each one is unique — buyers can't easily compare apples to apples.
Amenities
Cherry Grove has a solid but focused amenity package:
- Community swimming pool — with a kiddie pool section
- Clubhouse — available for events and gatherings
- Playground
- Continuous sidewalks throughout the community
- Carriage street lighting — a visual upgrade over standard streetlights
- Underground utilities
- Common areas with mature landscaping — the subdivision preserved pockets of mature trees and waterways during development
Residents describe seasonal community events as a highlight — the kind of neighborhood where people actually show up for holiday gatherings and block parties.
HOA
Cherry Grove has a mandatory HOA with fees that vary by phase.
HOA dues: Approximately $39-$55 per month, depending on the section.
What the dues cover: Pool maintenance, clubhouse upkeep, common area landscaping, general subdivision management.
Not a gated community.
The varying fee structure by phase is something to be aware of. If you're comparing two homes in Cherry Grove, the monthly HOA cost could differ depending on which phase you're in. Ask for the specific fee for any lot you're considering.

Community Feel
Population: Approximately 560 residents.
Demographics: Cherry Grove draws families and professionals who want custom-built all-brick homes in Williamson County school zones. The price points and home sizes mean this is an upper-middle to upper-income community. The custom-build model tends to attract buyers who care about design details — these are people who specifically chose to work with a builder rather than buy a production home.
Streetscape character: The Australian-themed street names (Alice Springs, Brisbane, Canberra, Fremantle, Wallaby) give the subdivision a distinctive identity. Combined with the carriage lighting, continuous sidewalks, and consistent all-brick construction, the visual presentation is cohesive despite the variety of custom designs. Mature trees preserved during development add to the established feel.
Cameron Properties footprint: Cherry Grove is one of several Cameron Properties developments clustered in this part of Spring Hill. Cherry Grove Addition sits adjacent, and Cherry Glen is nearby. The Cameron name carries weight in this area — they've been developing here since the 1980s.
