Adaline

Adaline is one of the earliest things a new-construction buyer can track in the Hendersonville area — a community on paper before it is a community on the ground. As of mid-2026 it is a 20-lot single-family subdivision on roughly 32.2 acres along Forest Retreat Road (37075), developed by Adaline, LLC. The Sumner County Regional Planning Commission considered its final plat in November 2025, which puts the project right at the platting-into-construction stage rather than selling finished homes. We're writing this so you can follow it from the ground floor, not because there are model homes to walk yet.

Where it sits

Forest Retreat Road sits in the Hendersonville area of Sumner County, the largest city in the county and the one set along the north shore of Old Hickory Lake just northeast of Nashville. Old Hickory Lake and its public access points shape how this whole part of Sumner County lives, even on parcels like this one that aren't on the water. At roughly 32 acres split into 20 lots, Adaline reads as a smaller, lower-density subdivision on a rural-residential road rather than a walkable in-town pocket — the appeal is a newer home with a bit of breathing room near the lake side of the county. As with any Middle Tennessee address, the commute you actually live with depends on your specific destination and the time of day, so the honest move is to test-drive your real drive from the actual block before you commit.

The homes here

Per the filed plan, Adaline is single-family only — 20 lots across about 32.2 acres. The county has not published individual lot dimensions, but spreading 20 lots over roughly 32 gross acres points to a lower-density layout rather than a tight production grid. No builders have been named and no home types beyond single-family, square footages, lot dimensions, or features have been published, so anything more specific than "new single-family on a larger rural-residential lot" would be guesswork at this stage. When a builder is announced and plans are released, the lot footprint is the first detail worth confirming against the recorded plat.

Who it fits

If the plat goes through as filed, Adaline fits a buyer who wants a brand-new home on real elbow room — a larger rural-residential lot near the lake side of the Hendersonville area without going fully out into the country. It is a long-horizon option, better suited to someone who can wait out the platting and build timeline than to anyone who needs to be in a house this season. For buyers drawn to the larger-lot, newer-construction profile, it is worth keeping on a shortlist alongside what's already selling nearby.

What to verify before you buy here

• Plat status — confirm the final plat has been approved and recorded; it was on the Planning Commission's November 2025 agenda, so verify where it landed before treating the 20-lot layout as final.
• Builder and pricing — none are published yet; get them in writing once a builder is named, and treat any early number as preliminary. For current pricing and availability as details surface, call 615-265-1000.
• Lot specifics — verify the exact acreage, setbacks, and any easements on the specific lot you're considering, since larger rural-residential lots often carry well, septic, or drainage considerations rather than full city utilities.
• Utilities and access — confirm what's connected at Forest Retreat Road (water, sewer or septic, road maintenance) for the lot you want before committing.
• Timeline — ask for a realistic delivery window, given the project is still moving from plat into construction.
• HOA and restrictions — confirm whether an HOA, dues, and covenants will apply and what they cover.
• School assignment — Middle Tennessee schools are tied to a specific address, not to the community name; share the address and we'll pull the assigned schools and their official report cards so you can build your own framework around the facts.

What's actually been announced

Since we last confirmed status here, the developer has begun marketing this community publicly under the name "The Adaline," and county property records show real lot transactions moving through it. The developer's own materials (as of September 2025) describe 19 estate-sized homesites with a 4,000-heated-square-foot minimum on each home, and name three builders working in the community: Jetton Homes, McPherson Shaw Inc., and Kore Construction. None of that changes the caution here — a developer's marketing site and an approved plat are two different things, and we confirm current status before anyone writes an offer — but it does mean this has moved further along than a bare plat filing.

County property-transfer records show Adaline, LLC conveying Lots 5, 7, 13, and 15 on Forest Retreat Road to McPherson-Shaw Inc. for $1,839,780 in a transfer recorded in the January 8-14, 2026 reporting period, and a separate lot at 401 Adaline Drive conveyed directly to a buyer for $400,000 in the February 12-18, 2026 reporting period (Sumner County transfers as published by Main Street Media of Tennessee). Both are dated, named transactions, not projections — they show at least one builder and one individual already own lots here, which is a meaningfully different stage than "final plat under review."

Lot pricing we can point to

The developer's marketing (accessed 2026-07) has listed estate lots starting at $399,000. Separately, an active MLS listing (MLS #3137786, Lot 3 at 420 Adaline Drive, accessed 2026-07) shows a 0.92-acre lot priced at $439,900, with sewer, water, electric, and gas available at the road. These are two specific, dated data points, not a promise about what any other lot in the community will cost — lot pricing in a phased community typically moves as sections release, so treat any number here as a snapshot, not a prediction of where pricing lands next. Ask us for the current live inventory before you anchor on either figure.

HOA and homesite requirements

Community materials tied to the active MLS listing describe a minimum 4,000-heated-square-foot requirement per home and note the community will be managed by a homeowners' association. Neither the covenants, the dues, nor the full architectural guidelines have been independently confirmed by our team yet — get the actual HOA documents from the builder or developer before you rely on any of this, and we're glad to help you request them.

Get on the list

Because this community is releasing lots to builders and individual buyers in real time rather than through a single grand-opening event, the fastest way to see what's actually available is to have someone track it for you. We check Sumner County records and the local MLS for Forest Retreat Road and Adaline Drive weekly. If you want a call or text the day a lot, floor plan, or price sheet becomes available from Jetton Homes, McPherson Shaw, or Kore Construction, reach our team at 615-265-1000 and we'll add you to the early-interest list for this one.
