Most new communities look great on paper but come with small yards and neighbors just a few feet away. For a lot of buyers, that’s not the dream.
If you’ve been hoping for more land, a little privacy, and room to grow, there are still places around Middle Tennessee that make that possible. After reviewing the latest listings for 2025 and 2026 new construction homes, a few cities really stand out. These homes are either just completed or still being built, which means buyers may still have time to personalize finishes or choose details that fit their style.
Lebanon: Space and Value in One
Lebanon continues to be a favorite for buyers who want a newer home with real acreage without luxury-level prices. Most of the current homes sit on two to five acres, and prices often start in the high $600s and up. You’ll see modern farmhouse designs, side-entry garages, and wide open yards that make it easy to enjoy quiet mornings or host family gatherings.
It’s one of the few areas near Nashville where you can still find land and community at the same time. And with easy access to I-40, you can get to Mt. Juliet or downtown Nashville in no time.
Columbia: Charm and Breathing Room
Columbia has been gaining attention for good reason. It’s growing, but it hasn’t lost its small-town feel. New homes here often sit on three to four acres, giving you the space you want with prices that are still more affordable than nearby Spring Hill. The drive to Nashville is a little longer, but the trade-off in space and peace is worth it for many buyers.
Spring Hill: Space Meets Convenience
Spring Hill is another great choice for families and move-up buyers who want more room without moving too far out. Homes here average around six acres and are typically priced around $1.3 million. You’ll find a mix of newer neighborhoods and more private builds that give you a little bit of both, space and convenience.
Brentwood: Where Land Meets Luxury
If you’ve been dreaming of a high-end new build with just enough privacy, Brentwood is the place. Most new homes here sit on just over an acre and offer top-of-the-line finishes, large open layouts, and access to some of the best schools in the state. Homes typically start around $4 million, so this area fits buyers looking for a luxury lifestyle with space to match.
Why Land Still Matters
Having land is more than just a nice-to-have. It gives you room to live the way you want — space for a garden, a workshop, or just room for the kids or pets to play. Larger lots also hold their value well, especially as Middle Tennessee continues to grow.
If you’ve been wondering where you can still find a new home with land, these areas are worth a look. Lebanon and Columbia stand out for value and space, while Spring Hill and Brentwood offer larger, higher-end options depending on your goals and budget.
