Ashland City sits on the Cumberland River twenty-five minutes northwest of Nashville, with a historic downtown, riverfront lots and a lot of wooded acreage in the hills around it. We build custom homes on that land, add decks and porches with river and ridge views, and remodel the mid-century homes in town.
Cheatham County lots are often sloped and wooded, which puts our engineered-footing decks, retaining walls and walk-out designs to good use. Ashland City is a short drive from our office by way of Highway 12 or I-24.

The work
What we bring to Ashland City
“Southern Belle is on the ball, with tons of ideas, quality workmanship, and constant communication. I highly recommend them.”
Does Southern Belle Construction work in Ashland City?
Yes — 22 miles northwest of downtown Nashville, Ashland City is the Cheatham County seat on the Cumberland River, with wooded acreage around it. Decks with river and ridge views, screened porches and retaining walls come up a lot, and so do custom homes on acreage and remodels of mid-century houses in town. The first visit is on us.
Why do you use engineered footings for decks in Ashland City?
Because so many lots there slope. Decks with river and ridge views are among the jobs Ashland City asks us for most, and on sloped, wooded Cheatham County land a deck like that can stand well off the ground on its downhill side. Engineered footings carry it, and where the grade needs holding back, we add a retaining wall.
Does a walk-out design make sense on a sloped lot near Ashland City?
Often, yes. The wooded acreage in the hills around Ashland City tends to slope, and a walk-out puts that slope to work, with a lower floor that opens at ground level on the downhill side. We design custom homes for those lots with that in mind, and Collin walks the land with you before anything is drawn.
Does Cheatham County issue building permits inside Ashland City?
No, not inside the town limits. Even though Ashland City is the county seat, permits in town come from Town of Ashland City Codes, and Cheatham County Building Codes takes the land outside. A remodel of a mid-century house in town and a custom home on acreage in the hills can land at different offices, and we handle both.
