Pennington Farms

Pennington Farms at a glance

Pennington Farms is a gated luxury estate community in Hendersonville, Sumner County, set on a 67-acre tract off New Hope Road, just past New Hope Church of Christ. The community is divided into 10 custom-home estate lots, each spanning roughly 5 to 6 acres, and is reached by a private paved road maintained by the homeowners association. It is a single-family, build-to-suit enclave rather than a tract subdivision: every home is constructed to estate standards on its own multi-acre lot, with minimum home sizes and soil certifications built into the development plan.

The community is actively selling, with approximately 4 of the original 10 lots remaining as of 2026. All homes here are built by Hannah Custom Homes, a locally owned luxury builder. Pennington Farms tends to draw buyers looking for acreage, privacy, and a fully custom estate home within an easy drive of Hendersonville and Nashville — including out-of-state buyers who want help comparing lots and navigating the build from a distance. Because we tour communities like this constantly, we can walk you through what is currently available and how the numbers are shaping up. We pull live pricing for you so you are working from current figures, not a snapshot.

Who builds in Pennington Farms

Pennington Farms is a Hannah Custom Homes development, and every home in the community is built by Hannah Custom Homes. The company is locally owned and was established in 2005, with a focus on custom luxury homes. As both the developer and the builder, Hannah Custom Homes set the community's estate standards — the lot layout, the minimum home requirements, and the high-performance construction specs that apply across the neighborhood.

For buyers, having a single, established custom builder behind the whole community means a consistent level of design and construction from lot to lot, and a clear path for designing a home to your own plans. We work alongside the builder's team as your buyer's representative, helping you compare available lots, understand the build process, and keep your interests front and center as you move from lot selection to finished home. You can review the builder's current offerings and approach directly on the Hannah Custom Homes website.

Homes & floor plans

Homes in Pennington Farms are single-family custom estates built to order on individual 5-to-6-acre lots. The development carries a minimum home size of 4,000 square feet, and lots are soil-tested to support five-bedroom homes, so this is an acreage-estate community by design rather than a starter or production-home neighborhood. Because homes are custom-built, there is no fixed catalog of plan names here — you design to your needs within the community's estate standards, working from Hannah Custom Homes' custom-build process.

Hannah Custom Homes builds to high-performance standards across the community. Verified construction features include 2x6 exterior walls, spray foam insulation, a 30-year roof, and an Energy Recovery System. These are the kinds of specs that affect comfort, efficiency, and long-term maintenance, and we are happy to help you compare them against other communities you are considering. For current plan ideas, available lots, and what a build typically includes, the Hannah Custom Homes site is the official source, and we will confirm the live details with you.

• Lot size: approximately 5–6 acres per lot
• Minimum home size: 4,000 sq. ft.

Amenities & community life

Pennington Farms is built around privacy and acreage rather than a large shared amenity center. The community is gated, with access by a private paved road, and the homeowners association maintains the gated road, the entrance, and the common areas. With each estate sitting on roughly 5 to 6 acres, day-to-day life here is defined by space, separation between homes, and the quiet of a 67-acre setting on the edge of Hendersonville.

For buyers, the appeal is a low-density, estate-style environment that is still close to Hendersonville's shopping, dining, and lake amenities. The HOA's role in maintaining the entrance, gate, and shared road is one of the items we always confirm in writing for you before you commit, so you know exactly what is covered.

Location, access & schools

Pennington Farms is located off New Hope Road in Hendersonville, just past New Hope Church of Christ, with addresses along Pennington Private Way. The community sits along Pennington Private Way in Hendersonville, TN 37075. The setting puts you on multi-acre lots while keeping Hendersonville's everyday conveniences and Old Hickory Lake nearby, with straightforward access toward the broader Nashville area.

The community is zoned for Burrus Elementary, Knox Doss Middle, and Station Camp High School. School zoning can change, so we always verify current assignments and boundaries with the district for the specific lot you are considering.

Commute and location in context

Pennington Farms sits off New Hope Road on the eastern side of Hendersonville, in Sumner County. Hendersonville as a whole is generally within a 30-minute commute of downtown Nashville, with a drive distance of roughly 16 to 18 miles into the urban core via I-65 and Gallatin Pike, though actual drive time depends heavily on the time of day — expect closer to 25 minutes off-peak and 35 to 50 minutes during morning and evening rush (Nashville's MLS drive-time data, nashvillesmls.com, accessed 2026-07). Because Pennington Farms is on the eastern/New Hope Road side of Hendersonville rather than directly off Highway 31E, we always map the specific commute from a given lot for buyers who are cross-shopping other Sumner County acreage communities — a few minutes' difference in routing can matter when you're comparing multiple lots.

Hannah Custom Homes: builder background and track record

Hannah Custom Homes was founded in 2005 by Dusty Hannah and Jeff and Misty (Hannah) Pyle, and remains locally owned and operated out of Hendersonville (hannahcustomhomes.com, accessed 2026-07). The company has been BBB-accredited since March 2011 and holds an A+ BBB rating (Better Business Bureau business profile, accessed 2026-07). On third-party review platforms, the builder shows a track record buyers can check directly: a 5-out-of-5 rating on Houzz, a 4.7-star rating from roughly 40 reviewers on Chamber of Commerce, and a BuildZoom contractor score that the platform places in the top 5% of licensed Tennessee contractors it tracks (Houzz, Chamber of Commerce, and BuildZoom profiles, accessed 2026-07). As always, we encourage you to read the current reviews yourself and pull the builder's license status before you commit — we're glad to help you track those down.

Construction specs, in more depth

Beyond the baseline specs of 2x6 exterior walls, spray foam insulation, a 30-year roof, and an Energy Recovery System, Hannah Custom Homes' published specifications for its developments also list Rheem stage-2 HVAC equipment, tankless water heating, Marvin Elevate windows and doors, an encapsulated crawlspace with a dehumidifier, and pre-wiring for speakers and cameras (hannahcustomhomes.com and the builder's Pennington Farms announcement, accessed 2026-07). These are builder-published specifications for the community; because custom homes can vary by buyer selections and the spec sheet can be updated, we always confirm the exact included-specification list in writing with the builder for the specific lot and build package you're considering before you sign.

What lots have actually sold and listed for

Individual Pennington Farms lots have listed in the roughly $525,000 to $550,000 range in past MLS listings — for example, a 5.4-acre parcel listed at $525,000 and separate 5.6-to-6-acre lots each listed at $549,900 (Redfin and Land.com listing records referencing RealTracs MLS, accessed 2026-07). Completed, finished homes in the community have listed well into the seven figures, consistent with the community's $2,649,000+ completed-home pricing noted above. These are historical listing prices, not current asking prices and not a prediction of future value — lot and home pricing in a low-inventory, 10-lot community can move lot to lot, and we pull the live figures directly from the builder and MLS before you make an offer.

HOA and what it covers

Pennington Farms is governed by a homeowners association tied to the community's recorded covenants, and the HOA's stated role is maintaining the gated entrance and the private paved road that serves all 10 lots, along with the community's common areas (nestinginnashville.com and Hannah Custom Homes' community materials, accessed 2026-07). Specific current HOA dues, any special assessments, and the full list of what is and isn't covered are set out in the recorded covenants and the HOA's governing documents — we request and review those documents for you as part of any offer here, since due amounts and coverage can be adjusted by the association over time.

Who Pennington Farms tends to fit

Because every lot requires a minimum 4,000-square-foot custom home on 5 to 6 acres, Pennington Farms generally suits buyers who have already decided they want a fully custom estate build rather than a production or semi-custom home, and who value privacy, acreage, and a gated setting over a large shared amenity package. It also tends to draw buyers relocating from out of state who want a single, established local builder handling the entire build, since Hannah Custom Homes serves as both developer and builder for the whole community. If you're comparing this against other Sumner County acreage or gated estate communities, we can walk through the trade-offs lot by lot.

Frequently asked questions

How many lots are left at Pennington Farms? As of our last update (2026-06), roughly 4 of the original 10 estate lots remained available — availability in a small community like this can change quickly, so we confirm the current count before you tour. Can I use my own builder instead of Hannah Custom Homes? No — Hannah Custom Homes is both the developer and the exclusive builder for Pennington Farms, so every home in the community is built by them. Is there a shared clubhouse or pool? No — the community's shared infrastructure is the gated private road and common areas; it is not built around a large shared amenity center. What school zone is Pennington Farms in? Sumner County Schools lists Burrus Elementary, Knox Doss Middle, and Station Camp High School as the schools serving this area of the county (Sumner County Schools zoning lookup, accessed 2026-07). We don't rate or compare schools for you — pull ratings, boundary maps, and profiles from GreatSchools.org or the Tennessee Department of Education report card site, and confirm current zoning directly with Sumner County Schools for your specific lot before you rely on it, since attendance lines can shift. How much does a home here cost to build? Because homes are fully custom on acreage lots, total cost depends on your plan, finishes, and lot; we help you get a current, written estimate directly from Hannah Custom Homes rather than relying on a general figure.
