Barton's Mill

Barton's Mill at a glance

Barton's Mill is a new-construction single-family community in Lebanon, in Wilson County, TN, sitting at 100 Hamilton Lane off Cole's Ferry Pike about 25 miles east of downtown Nashville. It's currently selling, with homes built by M/I Homes, and it carries a distinction we don't see anywhere else in the area: it's a Lebanon new-construction community featuring modern farmhouse exteriors. The location keeps you close to I-40 and SR-840, which makes the commute toward Nashville, Mt. Juliet, or the airport corridor straightforward.

The homes here are designed for buyers who want a brand-new, low-maintenance house with the room to spread out: floor plans run from 1,721 to 2,884 square feet with three to five bedrooms, priced from $409,990. Because everything is new construction on 40'- and 50'-wide homesites, Barton's Mill tends to draw buyers who want a fresh build with current finishes and an easy drive to Lebanon's everyday conveniences and the wider Nashville metro. We tour Lebanon and Wilson County new-construction communities regularly, so we can walk you through how Barton's Mill compares to the other options nearby.

Who builds in Barton's Mill

Barton's Mill is built by M/I Homes, a national homebuilder with an active Nashville (Mid-State) division. M/I Homes is the sole verified builder in this community, which means a consistent design language across the neighborhood — the modern farmhouse exteriors that set Barton's Mill apart are part of that cohesive look. M/I Homes also held its first Pelotonia Benefit Home ribbon-cutting here at Barton's Mill in November 2025, an effort that raised $102,539 for cancer research.

With a single builder running the community, the buying process is streamlined: one set of floor plans, one design studio, and one onsite team handling logistics. We work alongside M/I Homes' onsite agents as your buyer's representative, so you get a builder who knows their product and an advocate who's looking out for your interests through pricing, contract, and the build.

Amenities & community life

Barton's Mill is designed around walkability and everyday ease rather than a resort-style amenity package. The community includes bike racks and benches throughout, encouraging you to get out, move around the neighborhood, and connect with neighbors. The covered porches on the homes themselves extend that outdoor-living feel right to your own front step.

One of the most practical perks of life here is proximity to school and town: the community is within walking distance of Jones Brummett Elementary School, and you're a short drive from Lebanon's shops, dining, and services. Day to day, it's a new-construction neighborhood built for people who want a fresh home base with quick access to both Lebanon and the greater Nashville metro.

Location, access & schools

Barton's Mill is located at 100 Hamilton Lane in Lebanon, off Cole's Ferry Pike, with easy access to I-40 and SR-840. That puts you roughly 25 miles east of downtown Nashville and within an easy reach of Mt. Juliet, the Providence shopping area, and the broader Wilson County job and retail corridor. The interstate access is a real advantage for anyone commuting west toward Nashville or south via 840.

Barton's Mill is zoned to Jones Brummett Elementary School, Walter J. Baird Middle School, and Lebanon High School. The elementary school is close enough to be within walking distance of the community. School zoning can change, so we always confirm current attendance zones with you before you write an offer.

Floor plans, location detail & pricing history

As of this writing, M/I Homes is offering five named floor plans at Barton's Mill: the Freestone, Tipton, Harrison, Whitley, and Columbus. They span the community's full 1,721–2,884 square foot range and include both ranch-style and two-story layouts, with some plans offering a loft or a first-floor owner's suite. Plan availability on any given homesite shifts as the community sells through phases, so we confirm which plans are currently buildable — or already under construction as quick move-in homes — before we tour with you. Beyond interstate access, the community sits close to Lebanon's everyday landmarks: Downtown Lebanon and the historic square are about 3 miles away and the Capital Theater is roughly 2.9 miles out, per Zillow's community listing, while Cedars of Lebanon State Park is about 12.6 miles away and Nashville's downtown attractions run around 25 miles, consistent with M/I Homes' own listing copy.

M/I Homes has moved Barton's Mill's starting price during 2026 — it opened selling from $409,990 and, per the builder's own community page, was listed from $419,990 as of mid-2026, with completed and in-progress homes reaching into the low $500,000s. That kind of movement is normal for an actively-selling new-construction community and can go either direction as phases release, so we treat any price we quote as a snapshot, not a forecast — we can't predict where builder pricing goes next, and neither can anyone else being straight with you. M/I Homes also runs builder-specific financing promotions that change monthly, including rate-buydown offers through its in-house lender, M/I Financial, plus its standing Hometown Heroes design-studio credit for teachers, healthcare workers, military, and first responders. Terms and deadlines change often and are lender-specific, so we pull the current offer sheet from the onsite team before you write anything.

HOA dues & Wilson County property taxes

M/I Homes' published materials for Barton's Mill don't post a specific HOA dues figure, and the aggregator sites we checked (NewHomeSource, Redfin, Jome, Zillow) don't list one either — so we verify the current dues amount and what they cover directly with the onsite sales team before you're under contract, rather than guess. For tax planning, Wilson County's certified property tax rate was estimated at roughly $1.1631 per $100 of assessed value for the 2026 budget cycle, following a countywide reappraisal that raised assessed values — the Wilson County Commission finalizes the certified rate around June each year, per reporting in the Lebanon Democrat (May 2026). The City of Lebanon separately lists its property tax rate at $0.6855 per $100 of assessed value on its official site. Because Barton's Mill sits inside Lebanon city limits, buyers should budget for both rates together, and we always point you to the Wilson County Property Assessor's office (615-444-8661) and the City of Lebanon's tax office to confirm the exact, current combined rate for a specific parcel before closing.
