360-Degree Ridge Views, and Not a Neighbor in Sight
$624,900
Lebanon sits in Wilson County, in the rolling ridge country east of Nashville — 6.33 private acres of Tennessee homestead land with 360-degree views and complete seclusion.
The view is the whole point. Set high on a ridge, the home looks out on a full 360 degrees of Tennessee hills — the kind of Gatlinburg-style panorama you usually have to drive to a national park to find — and from the house, you can't see a single neighbor. The 6.33 acres are yours to wander: open pasture around a pond in the clearing below the house, then woods and ridge to hike, all without leaving your own land. A 1,440-square-foot pole barn with a polished concrete floor handles equipment, a workshop, or projects, and the home runs on city water rather than a well. It's offered as-is, and priced with that in mind. 3 bd / 2 ba, 2,160 sq ft, built 1983, on 6.33 acres.

Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
Water is better than you'd expect on a ridgetop: a pond sits in a clearing below the house, ringed by open grass — good for livestock, wildlife, a little fishing, or simply the sight of it from up top. On top of that, the home runs on city water rather than a private well, so your household supply is dependable municipal service with none of the testing, pump, or maintenance worries a well brings. Between the pond for the land and city water for the house, this property is genuinely well-watered — an uncommon combination somewhere this private and elevated.
Crop & Income Potential
At 6.33 acres, this is a homestead of manageable scale — plenty of room for a good kitchen garden, chickens, fruit trees, and a few animals, without the upkeep of a full farm. The land mixes open, cleared pasture near the pond with wooded ridge up the slopes, so you've got level ground to work and plant plus tree cover for shade and privacy. Middle Tennessee's long growing season and mild winters are forgiving for a first-time grower, and the pole barn gives you dry space for storing a harvest or starting seedlings in spring.
Sustainability
A lot of what makes a place self-reliant is already here: a big pole barn for storage and projects, city water you can count on, and enough seclusion that you genuinely control your own space. The trade-off is that the home is sold as-is, so picture it as a solid, private base to improve over time rather than a turnkey showpiece — the ridgetop setting and the barn are the hard-to-replicate parts, and those are done. Add solar (the sun exposure up here is excellent), a garden, and your own touches, and this becomes a genuinely resilient perch.
The Boundaries
A few things to get clear before you buy, and none of them are dealbreakers on a property like this. First, the acreage: you're buying Tract 6, which is 6.33 acres — the tax ID reads about 18 acres because the parcel sits in Tennessee's Greenbelt program, but that extra land is a separate lot not included in this sale. Have your agent and the title work confirm exactly what conveys, and ask whether the Greenbelt (agricultural/forest tax) status carries over or triggers rollback taxes at closing. Second, this home is sold as-is and shows its age in places — plan on some cosmetic updating, and put the mechanical systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof) through a careful professional inspection so you know exactly what you're taking on. The back deck in particular needs work, so budget for that repair up front. None of this is a surprise on a 1983 home priced accordingly; it's the due diligence that lets you buy with your eyes open and negotiate from knowledge. And get a current survey to mark the 6.33-acre lines along the ridge.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Lebanon is the seat of Wilson County, about half an hour east of Nashville — close enough for a night out or an airport run, far enough to feel like real country. It's a growing but still-rooted community with a historic town square, the kind of place that keeps its Friday-night football and Saturday market even as Nashville's energy spills eastward. Cedars of Lebanon State Park is nearby, and Music City's restaurants, jobs, and culture are an easy drive when you want them.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
University of Tennessee Extension keeps a Wilson County office in Lebanon, with soil testing, Master Gardener training, and small-farm and livestock programs well suited to a few acres. Middle Tennessee is strong cattle, hay, and horse country, so feed stores, large-animal vets, and equipment are all close by. Given the Greenbelt status on this parcel, the extension office and the county assessor are both good resources for understanding agricultural tax classifications if you decide to keep the land in a qualifying use.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
The best recreation here is the land itself — 360-degree views and enough acreage to hike, ramble, and watch the seasons turn without leaving home. Beyond the property, Cedars of Lebanon State Park offers trails, camping, and one of the region's unique cedar-glade ecosystems, and Old Hickory and Percy Priest Lakes are close for boating and fishing. With Nashville a short drive west, you can pair ridgetop quiet with big-city concerts and sports whenever the mood strikes. It's an easy place to live outdoors.
