Old-time comfort in central Tennessee

When folks step off US Highway 70 into White Bluff, they step back in time. The Dickson County town is a 70s vision, with old-timey locales and funky antique stores rolled into the bucolic scenery of central Tennessee. “White Bluff is a charming hamlet minutes from Nashville,” says local expert Beverly Totty, broker and owner of Totty Realty and Associates. “It has quiet country living with a charming downtown of yesteryears.”

Roomy homes and lots

White Bluff’s small population and rural setting create a more private feel for residents. An abundance of land is undeveloped, and larger properties allow residences to spread out. “There’s not much new development, but there is a lot of land available,” Totty says. Homes ranging from rustic cottages to new farmhouse-style construction dot the landscape with lot sizes that average one acre. The median cost of real estate is $380,000; a small ranch home lists for $250,000, while contemporary farmhouses sprawling 5,000 square feet on over 8 acres may fetch over $1 million.

Old-timey locales

The eclectic mix of stores and restaurants reflects the rustic, established feel of White Bluff. “Downtown is just precious,” Totty says, noting the ice cream parlors, old-timey gas stations, pizza joints and unique boutiques that line the street. “It has a shabby chic feel with hometown locales that are century old.” Folks fill up on caffeine at The Bluffalo, a cozy coffee joint and community staple. Across the street, Salt and Pepper Grill serves cocktails and American dishes alongside live music performances.

Outdoor adventures

Although residents are surrounded by stunning verdant landscapes, they may seek outdoor recreation at nearby Montgomery Bell State Park. The massive park spans 3,850 acres and boasts three lakes, basketball courts, a golf course and more. Whether making a day trip or staying overnight at the campgrounds, cabins or the newly renovated lodge, park visitors can immerse themselves in the forested beauty and take advantage of various activities, from boating to fishing. Paddlers and swimmers take to the water, while those who prefer to stay dry explore the hiking trails on foot or by mountain bike. In town, kids enjoy the Field of Dreams playground and White Bluff Skate and Bike Park.

Craftsy community and celebrations

“White Bluff is very artistic,” Totty says of the town’s community. “Between music and arts, the town has a lot of talented folks.” These talents are displayed at the White Bluff Arts and Music Festival and the annual craft show, where a hundred vendors set up shop to sell various unique homemade goods. Additional seasonal events include the Christmas parade and Independence Day celebration. Social gatherings at the Bibb-White Bluff Civic Center also bring the community together year-round.

Minutes from metro Nashville

Though the spread-out nature of White Bluff makes residents car-dependent, the town isn’t far removed from the hum of Music City. Proximity to Interstate 40 allows commuters to reach the heart of Nashville in under 40 minutes and the Nashville International Airport in 45 minutes.
