Ashland combines scenic rural living with a vibrant downtown area
Along the Cumberland River, Ashland City is a small town founded in 1859 and named after the area’s abundance of ash trees. The community continues to preserve this natural beauty today with green spaces, open farmland and residential homes nestled on winding country roads just 24 miles from Nashville. “Ashland City still has that country-style feel,” says Malcolm Landenberger, a Realtor with Exp Realty who has been selling homes for over four years. “This is a growing town and a good opportunity for people relocating to get the home of their dreams while living close to Nashville.” The town is centered around a vibrant downtown along Main Street, where residents enjoy local shops and access to major thoroughfares like Highway 12 and Route 49.
