Where The Preserve at Five Oaks Is in Lebanon

The David Weekley sales address is 1077 Callaway Drive, Lebanon, TN 37087. The community sits on the northeast side of Lebanon inside the Five Oaks master plan, with primary access via the Hartmann Drive corridor that connects to TN-840 and US-70 (Murfreesboro Road). I-40 access runs through the Hartmann Drive and South Hartmann Drive exits.

Drive times as of May 22, 2026 (Google Maps):

• Lebanon Public Square — about 7 minutes (3 miles)
• Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital — about 10 minutes
• Publix at Lebanon Center on West Main Street — about 9 minutes
• Kroger Lebanon on West Main Street — about 9 minutes
• Cedars of Lebanon State Park — about 12 miles
• BNA / Nashville International Airport — about 30 to 35 minutes via I-40 West
• Downtown Nashville — about 35 to 45 minutes via I-40 West (rush hour runs longer)

The Hartmann Drive corridor is the more developed side of Lebanon, with quick access to TN-840 (which gives buyers a useful detour around Nashville's I-40 congestion when traveling to Williamson County or Murfreesboro) and to the I-40 interchange. This is suburban Lebanon, not exurban — but it isn't Brentwood-adjacent either. The location pairs golf-course tranquility inside the community with usable infrastructure outside it.

Who's Building It and What You Can Buy

The community is built by David Weekley Homes, a Houston-based national builder founded in 1976. David Weekley operates in roughly 20 metro markets across 12 or more states and has closed more than 100,000 homes since founding. In Middle Tennessee, David Weekley builds in several Nashville-area submarkets including Lebanon, Mt. Juliet, and Nolensville. The Preserve at Five Oaks is one of their flagship Wilson County communities.

The David Weekley Lebanon design palette emphasizes open-concept layouts, designer-curated finish packages, and a structured warranty program — 1-year workmanship, 2-year mechanical, 10-year structural, standard for the national-builder tier. The Preserve is single-family detached only. There are no townhomes or villas inside the David Weekley section. Next door, the Grove at Five Oaks — also inside the broader Five Oaks master plan — delivers Goodall Homes villa product for buyers wanting lower-maintenance attached living. The Preserve and The Grove share the Five Oaks address but are two different product decisions.

Floor Plans and Home Sizes

Seven David Weekley floor plans as of May 22, 2026, with starting prices and square footage from davidweekleyhomes.com (retrieved May 22, 2026):

| Plan | Square Feet | Starting Price | |---|---|---| | The Boxwell | 2,443 | $499,990 | | The Ginger | 2,082–2,117 | $509,990 | | The Clippard | 2,192–2,258 | $509,990 | | The Satinwood | 2,671–2,696 | $529,990 | | The Gladstone | 2,864–2,875 | $552,990 | | The Penhurst | 3,062–3,077 | $559,990 | | The Drummond | 3,058 | $563,990 |

Standard features across the lineup include open-concept main living, designer kitchens, two-car garages, and golf-course-community-appropriate exterior elevations. Lot sizes vary by homesite; view lots that back to or overlook the golf course command lot premiums. Ask the David Weekley sales office which course-adjacent lots remain in the current phase, since those are the lots that tend to clear first.

Pricing and What You Get for It

As of May 22, 2026, David Weekley lists The Preserve at Five Oaks from $499,990 with currently available inventory topping out near $624,990 (davidweekleyhomes.com and newhomesource.com listing 191722, retrieved May 22, 2026). The square-foot range across the seven plans runs 2,082 to 3,077.

For market context: the Wilson County single-family median sale price was approximately $500,000 in late 2025. The Preserve's entry price sits right at the Wilson County median, with the upper end of inventory running about 25% above median for the larger Penhurst and Drummond floor plans. Pricing is subject to weekly change with builder incentives, lot premiums (view-lot upcharges, larger-lot upcharges), and structural-option selections.

What you're paying the price band for is two things — the David Weekley product (a national-builder warranty package with a design-center customization experience) and the Five Oaks address. The country club next door is part of why the address commands a premium, even though club membership is separate from the HOA dues. That detail matters for the cost analysis.

Amenities, the HOA, and the Country Club

This is the part of The Preserve's economics that buyers most often misunderstand. There are two separate monthly costs to weigh, and they cover different things.

HOA dues: $195 per quarter ($780 per year), plus a $450 transfer fee at closing (davidweekleyhomes.com community page, retrieved May 22, 2026). HOA dues cover common-area maintenance, master-planned landscaping, and architectural standards inside the David Weekley section. HOA dues do NOT include access to the country club's pool, tennis, or clubhouse.

Club at Five Oaks membership: approximately $80.32 per month per household with a $600 initiation fee and a 1-year minimum commitment (clubatfiveoaks.com membership page, retrieved May 22, 2026). The Club at Five Oaks membership gives access to:

• The 18-hole championship golf course designed by Neil Carson (built 2001)
• The 21,000-square-foot clubhouse with full-service dining
• The resort-style swimming pool
• Tennis courts
• Event spaces and the member social calendar

Important distinction: the HOA membership is mandatory; the country club membership is optional. Buyers who want to live at The Preserve without paying for golf or pool access can do so — the residential community functions without the club membership. Buyers who want to actually use the golf course, pool, or clubhouse pay the club membership on top of the HOA.

Inside the residential community itself, the amenity package is light — sidewalks and master-planned common-area landscaping. The community's amenity story really lives next door at the club, not on the residential side of the fence.

The Preserve at Five Oaks is zoned to the Lebanon Special School District for PK-8 and Wilson County Schools for high school, per davidweekleyhomes.com (retrieved May 22, 2026).

Pros and Cons of The Preserve at Five Oaks

Pros

• Inside an established master-planned golf community — the 24-year-old Five Oaks Golf & Country Club sets the neighborhood tone and amenity baseline
• New construction with David Weekley's national-builder warranty package and design-center customization
• Floor-plan range (2,082 to 3,077 square feet) covers right-sizing downsizers and growing-household buyers in a single community
• Quick access to I-40 and TN-840 keeps the BNA and Williamson County connections manageable
• Walkable to a country-club clubhouse — uncommon at this price band in Wilson County

Cons

• Country-club access is a separate membership cost (about $80 per month plus initiation) on top of HOA dues — the golf-course backdrop doesn't come bundled
• Lebanon's commute to downtown Nashville is real (35 to 45 minutes off-peak, longer in rush hour) — this is suburban, not exurban, but it isn't Brentwood-adjacent
• Entry pricing at $499,990 is at the Lebanon median — buyers cross-shopping resale may find more square footage per dollar in older subdivisions, though without the new-build warranty
• The Lebanon side of Wilson County still has fewer chain-restaurant and big-box options than Mt. Juliet — convenience relative to Providence Marketplace is lower

Who Tends to Move to The Preserve at Five Oaks

The buyer pool for The Preserve skews toward two cohorts. The first is move-up buyers from Mt. Juliet or southeast Nashville who want more square footage on a course-adjacent lot than their current ZIP supports — the Preserve's lot premiums for course-view homesites scratch that itch. The second is right-sizers from outside Tennessee relocating for the lower state-tax profile who want a turn-key new build inside a country-club setting and don't mind paying the club membership separately. Golf-oriented households are over-represented for obvious reasons; the course is on the other side of the fence. Buyers commuting daily to BNA-area jobs or to Mt. Juliet jobs find the location workable; daily-Nashville-CBD commuters trade time for the amenity package.

Compared to nearby Barton's Mill, which sells the walk-to-school proximity and modern farmhouse aesthetic at a lower price, The Preserve sells the country-club setting and the David Weekley product at the higher price band. Different buyers; different theories of Lebanon living.

A Local's Take

The Preserve at Five Oaks is the rare Lebanon community that markets a lifestyle and actually has the infrastructure to back it up. The Five Oaks Golf & Country Club has been operational since 2001 — that's 24 years of established membership, a stable clubhouse program, and a course that's been played enough to be a known quantity for buyers who play. Most golf-course communities advertise the course and discover later that the course is struggling. Five Oaks isn't.

The detail buyers most often misjudge here is the HOA-versus-club distinction. If you tour The Preserve and you fall for the course, the pool, and the clubhouse, write down what the actual monthly cost is to use them. HOA dues plus club membership is roughly $145 per month combined ($65 in HOA + $80 in club), plus the $600 initiation fee at the front end. That's a real number, and it's separate from your mortgage, taxes, and insurance. If you don't plan to use the club, the dues drop to $65 a month and the community still functions — but you're also not capturing the part of the address you're paying a premium for. Be honest with yourself about which one of those two paths you're actually on.

The commute is the other thing buyers cross-shop against Mt. Juliet. Lebanon to downtown Nashville is meaningfully longer than Mt. Juliet to downtown Nashville — call it 10 to 15 extra minutes off-peak, more in rush hour. If your job is in downtown Nashville and you drive daily, that's a real cost in time. If your job is in Mt. Juliet, in the BNA corridor, or in the eastern Nashville office submarkets (Cool Springs being the exception via TN-840), the Lebanon delta closes. If you can work from home most days and only commute occasionally, the commute math basically disappears. Test the drive at your actual commute time before you commit.

The price tier is also worth thinking about clearly. The Preserve's $499,990 entry sits right at the Wilson County median for resale, which means buyers cross-shopping resale will find homes with more square footage per dollar in older subdivisions. The tradeoff is the warranty, the David Weekley design-center experience, and the golf-course setting — none of which a resale on the other side of town can match. If those three factors don't move the needle for you, you may get more home for the money in resale. If they do, The Preserve is one of the cleaner Lebanon new-construction stories at this price band.
