Calista Farms

Calista Farms is a Davidson Homes community in White House built around single- and two-story single-family homes. The plans here run 3 to 5 bedrooms and roughly 1,428 to 2,882 square feet, so the range covers both a right-sized starter footprint and a larger family-sized layout under one builder. With quick move-in homes in the mix and a single builder on site, this is a straightforward new-construction option in a part of Middle Tennessee where land and square footage still go further than they do closer to Nashville.

Where it sits

White House sits on the I-65 commuter corridor along the western edge of Sumner County, straddling the Sumner and Robertson county line north of Nashville. That gives Calista Farms straightforward interstate access north or south and the smaller-town pace White House is known for, without the price-per-square-foot you'd pay closer in. As with any Middle Tennessee address, the commute you actually live with depends on your specific destination and the time of day — the honest move is to test-drive your real drive from the actual block before you commit, not to trust a map estimate.

The homes here

Davidson Homes is the single builder at Calista Farms, which keeps the construction and the buying process consistent across the community. The product is single-family, in both single- and two-story designs, spanning 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 4.5 baths across roughly 1,428 to 2,882 square feet. Published interior features include gas fireplaces, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and hardwood floors. The community offers walking trails, and there's a limited number of larger lots available — worth asking about early if lot size matters to you.

Builder-published pricing runs from the $340s to the $450s as of 2026 — those are starting figures published by Davidson, not quotes, and they move with the plan, the lot, the section, and the finishes you select. For current pricing and what's actually available right now, including any quick move-in homes, call our team at 615-265-1000 and we'll confirm the live numbers with the builder rather than work off a figure that may already be stale.

Who it fits

The wide plan range here — from around 1,428 square feet up to nearly 2,900, single- or two-story — means Calista Farms can suit buyers at different stages under one roofline of construction. Someone wanting a manageable new-build footprint and someone wanting a larger layout with more bedrooms can both find a fit. The walking trails and the White House location point toward buyers who want a newer home, a quieter commuter-town pace, and more square footage per dollar than the closer-in Sumner markets tend to offer.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing and availability — the $340s-to-$450s range is builder-published; confirm the live number for the specific plan, lot, and section you want, plus any current incentives or quick move-in pricing.
• Lot specifics — only a limited number of larger lots are advertised; if lot size matters, ask which homesites are still available and get frontage, yard, and orientation on the specific lot in writing rather than guessing from renderings.
• Single- vs. two-story and plan size — the 3-to-5-bedroom, 1,428-to-2,882-square-foot range is wide; decide which layout actually fits before you fall for a model.
• Included features vs. upgrades — confirm which of the published finishes (gas fireplace, quartz, hardwood, stainless) are standard on your plan and which are upgrade-priced options.
• HOA — ask what the dues cover (the walking trails and common-area upkeep, etc.) and what they don't, and get the current amount in writing.
• 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 the official report cards so you can build your own framework around the facts.
• Build-out and timing — for a to-be-built home, get the realistic completion window and what's locked versus still selectable in writing.

Community size, HOA, and the floor plans

Calista Farms is planned for 105 single-family homes, with an HOA that runs $25 a month covering ground maintenance and common-area snow removal — not a pool, clubhouse, or other staffed amenity — per Davidson Homes' community listing on NewHomeSource. As of the Davidson Homes community page, eight named plans are offered: the Asheville C (from the $330s), Franklin C (from the $340s), Gordon A (from the $360s), Logan A (from the $370s), Willow C and Ash A (both from the $390s), Henry A (from the $400s), and the Ridgeport (from the $420s). Base prices attached to each plan name move with the lot, section, and options selected, and builders update them regularly — treat the plan names as a starting point, and ask our team or the builder for the current base price and available elevations before you fall in love with a floor plan. Confirm the current HOA fee and exactly what it covers in the HOA documents before closing, since dues and coverage can change.

White House is growing — here's the data

White House isn't a guess-and-check small town anymore. A special census certified the city's population at 16,985 as of September 1, 2025, up from 12,982 at the 2020 Census — a gain of just over 4,000 residents in five years, according to the city's own announcement. City Administrator Gerald Herman framed the recount plainly: "This was an investment in the future of White House. As our population grows, so does the demand for city services, infrastructure, public safety, parks, and other community needs." The certified count also unlocks additional state-shared revenue for the city beginning in July 2027. Separately, Sembler completed White House Shops, a roughly 75,000-square-foot shopping center anchored by a Publix, confirmed open as of the developer's November 20, 2024 announcement, with tenants including Teriyaki Madness, Wingstop, Miso Bowl, Noire The Nail Bar, East Nashville Aesthetic Dentistry, and The UPS Store. We share both of these as documented, dated growth facts, not a prediction about your home's future value — nobody can tell you what a specific property will be worth in five years, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Assigned schools and current incentives

Davidson Homes' own community page lists Robert F. Wood Elementary, White House Heritage Elementary, and White House Heritage High School as the schools serving Calista Farms. We don't rate or rank schools, and attendance zones are set by the district and can shift, so confirm the current assigned schools for your specific lot or address directly with Sumner County Schools, and pull independent data for yourself at tn.gov/education and GreatSchools.org before you weigh that factor in your decision. On the builder side, Davidson's community page has also advertised buydown-style incentives on select quick move-in inventory — rate-buydown or closing-cost assistance tied to specific homes. Incentives like these are here-today-gone-tomorrow by design: ask our team to confirm exactly what's currently being offered on a specific home before you build a budget around anything you saw online.
