Custom home builder in Belle Meade
Nashville's original estate address.
Belle Meade is Nashville's original estate address — mature hardwoods, deep setbacks, and streets like Chickering, Page, and Jackson that have carried old money and new money in equal measure for a century. Lots here are large and private, often with a house on them that has outlived its floor plan. Buyers move to Belle Meade for the pedigree and the privacy, then come to us to build something that finally matches both. It's close to Belle Meade Country Club and Cheekwood, but the streets themselves are quiet enough that you'd never know it.
In Belle Meade, the scope is almost entirely estate-scale — $2.75M–$4M homes on quarter-acre-plus lots, built to match the neighborhood's pedigree without losing the warmth of a family home.

Common questions about building in Belle Meade
What does a custom home cost in Belle Meade?
Custom builds in Belle Meade typically run $2.5M–$6M depending on lot size, scope, and finish level — the neighborhood's larger estate lots can support builds at the very top of that range. The only way to get a real number is a conversation about your specific lot and your list.
Does May build on owner lots in Belle Meade?
Yes. In Belle Meade a build often starts with the client's own lot — frequently a dated house being replaced rather than renovated. We also acquire and build on select lots ourselves; either way, we start with a site walk and a feasibility review before anything is designed.
Which schools serve Belle Meade?
School zoning changes by address, even within Belle Meade, so we don't publish specific assignments here. A family's zoned and nearby private school options are one of the first things we confirm during a lot review — ask us during a consult and we'll walk through what serves your street.
