Built between 2002 and 2019 across at least seven phases, Cherry Grove Addition is now fully built out. The price range — $559K to $1.35M — reflects both the custom nature of the homes and the premium that all-brick construction commands in this market.
History and Development
Cherry Grove Addition was planned and developed by Don R. Cameron III through Cameron Properties, LLC. The Cameron family has deep roots in this area — brothers Donnie and Tim Cameron have operated Cameron Properties since 1980, and their ancestors built the first house in Franklin, Tennessee in the early 1800s. Cameron Properties is primarily known as a commercial real estate firm (office spaces, strip centers), but Donnie Cameron's residential development portfolio includes Cherry Grove Addition, Cherry Grove (a separate but related adjacent subdivision), Cherry Glen, Autumn Ridge, The Arbors at Autumn Ridge, Dakota Pointe, and McLemore Farms. He's been one of the most prolific residential developers on the Williamson County side of Spring Hill.
Construction started around 2002 with the earliest sections near Bunbury Drive. The subdivision expanded over 17 years across multiple phases:
Phase 1, Section 1 (early 2000s): The original homes, centered around Bunbury Drive. These established the all-brick custom home standard.
Phases 2-4 (mid-to-late 2000s): Continued expansion with multiple sections per phase.
Phases 5-7 (2010s): The later phases, with the newest homes on Canberra Drive completed around 2018-2019. Section designations include Phase 5, Phase 7 Section 1, and Phase 7 Section 2.
The multi-builder model is the defining feature of Cherry Grove Addition's development approach. Rather than contracting with a single production builder, Cameron brought in multiple custom builders who each worked individual lots. This means no two homes look identical — each reflects the design choices of different builders and buyers. Five confirmed builders have worked in the subdivision:
- Firm Foundation Custom Homes — a family-owned custom builder in Middle TN, projects starting at $750K
- Landmark Building Company — founded by Mark Mihacsi, licensed in Tennessee since 1996, 200+ homes built in the area
- R.G. Custom Homes, LLC — owned by Rob Galbreath, a fourth-generation builder who started his company in 2005
- Clark Custom Homes — local custom builder
- Celebration Homes — a regional builder also active in Brixworth and other Spring Hill communities
Current status: Fully built out. All purchases are resale through MLS.
Location and Access
Cherry Grove Addition is on Buckner Lane, which is one of the primary north-south connectors on Spring Hill's north side. The subdivision sits less than a mile from Summit High School, close enough that some students walk to school.
Key distances and access points:
- Buckner Lane — primary access road
- Summit High School less than a mile away
- Columbia Pike (US-31) / Highway 31: A few minutes west, with shopping and dining along the corridor
- I-65: About 5 minutes via the Buckner Road / June Lake interchange (Exit 55, opened May 2024).
- I-840: Accessible in about 5-10 minutes
- Cool Springs Galleria / Franklin: About 20 minutes off-peak, 29 at rush hour
- Downtown Nashville: About 30-35 miles, 35 minutes without traffic
- Spring Hill Marketplace: Minutes away on Buckner Lane
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. The Australian naming convention is consistent throughout and makes the subdivision easy to identify on a map.
Homes
Cherry Grove Addition is entirely single-family detached homes with all-brick or brick-and-stone exterior construction. The custom-build model means there's real variety in floor plans, finishes, and architectural details from home to home.
Size range: 2,411 to 5,972 sq ft (median around 3,488 sq ft). This is a wide range that reflects the custom nature — some homes are conservatively sized 4-bedroom layouts, others are 5,000+ sq ft custom estates.
Bedrooms: 3 to 6
Bathrooms: 2 to 5
Lot sizes: Typically 0.23 to 0.30 acres (quarter to one-third acre). For a custom home community at this price point, the lots are on the smaller side. This is a legitimate criticism — you're paying $800K+ for a home on a quarter-acre lot in some sections.
Garages: Primarily two-car (front-loading or side-loading); some homes have three-car garages.
Foundations: Crawl space construction throughout.
Architectural styles: Traditional designs with multiple front gables. Stone accents are common. The homes lean upscale-traditional rather than contemporary — think brick-and-stone facades with arched entryways, bay windows, and formal proportions.
Home configurations: Single-story, 1.5-story, and two-story options available. Some homes feature main-level primary suites with guest suites, which is appealing for buyers wanting single-level living in a multi-story home.
Common features: Hardwood flooring, stainless steel appliances, carriage lighting, underground utilities, spacious kitchens.
Pricing (based on recent market data)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Sale price range | $559,000 - $1,350,000 |
| Median sold price | $799,900 - $799,999 |
| Average sold price | $836,126 |
| Active listing range | $725,000 - $1,335,000 |
| Average price per sq ft (active) | $260 |
| Average price per sq ft (sold) | $225 |
| Average days on market | 109 |
| Approximate annual property tax | $2,333 |
The 109-day average time on market is notable — this is well above the Spring Hill average. At the $800K-$1.3M price point, the buyer pool narrows. Custom homes also take longer to sell because each one is unique; buyers can't comparison-shop as easily as in a production-builder subdivision.
Amenities
Cherry Grove Addition has a focused amenity package:
- Community swimming pool — with a kiddie pool section
- Clubhouse — described as "exclusive" in marketing materials
- Playground
- Continuous sidewalks throughout the community
- Carriage street lighting — a visual detail that sets the streetscape apart
- Underground utilities
- Common areas and landscaping
The pool and clubhouse are the primary community gathering spaces. The sidewalk network is well-developed and connects throughout the subdivision, making it walkable internally.
HOA
Cherry Grove Addition has a mandatory HOA, though the management structure and fees vary by phase.
HOA dues: Approximately $38-$55 per month, depending on the phase/section. Some records show quarterly payments of $250. One-time fees of $265-$550 have also been reported in property records.
HOA management: The enriched subdivision data does not confirm a specific management company. The Cameron Farms and Crowne Pointe subdivisions nearby use Acclaimed Property Management, but Cherry Grove Addition's management may differ.
Not a gated community.
What the dues cover: Pool maintenance, clubhouse upkeep, common area maintenance, landscaping, and general subdivision management.
The varying fee structure by phase is worth noting. If you're comparing two homes in Cherry Grove Addition, the monthly HOA cost could differ by $15-$20 depending on which phase you're in. Ask for the specific HOA fee for any lot you're considering.

Community Feel
Population: Approximately 560 residents according to Williamson Source reporting.
Demographics: Cherry Grove Addition draws buyers who want custom-built all-brick homes in WCS school zones. The price points ($559K-$1.35M) and home sizes (up to nearly 6,000 sq ft) mean this is an upper-middle to upper-income community. The custom-build model tends to attract buyers who care about specific design details — these aren't people who want a production-built home.
Nextdoor presence: Cherry Grove has an active Nextdoor page (nextdoor.com/neighborhood/cherrygrove--spring-hill--tn/).
Streetscape character: The Australian-themed street names (Alice Springs, Brisbane, Canberra, Fremantle, Wallaby) give the subdivision a distinctive identity. The carriage lighting, continuous sidewalks, and consistent all-brick construction create a cohesive visual feel despite the variety of custom designs.
Don Cameron's footprint: Cherry Grove Addition is one of several Cameron Properties developments in this part of Spring Hill. Cherry Grove (a separate, earlier subdivision) is adjacent, and Cherry Glen is nearby. If you're looking at homes in this area, you may see properties listed under "Cherry Grove" without the "Addition" suffix — these are different (though related) communities with different HOAs.
