Buying a new home comes with plenty of questions. Whether you’re comparing floor plans, considering rural living, exploring financing options, or trying to understand the purchase process, we’ve collected answers to some of the most common questions buyers may have about Summit Investment Group homes.
Where does Summit Investment Group offer homes?
Our available properties vary as new projects are completed and new opportunities are developed. Our current inventory includes homes in Lewis County, Tennessee, including the Hohenwald area. Visit our Available Properties page for current listings.
Does Summit Investment Group build homes or sell completed homes?
Our offerings may include completed homes, homes under construction, and future development opportunities. The availability and stage of construction will be clearly identified on each individual property listing.
What types of homes does Summit Investment Group offer?
Our properties emphasize practical, attractive designs suited to rural Tennessee living, including modern farmhouse and barndominium-inspired homes. Floor plans, sizes, features, acreage, and finishes vary by property.
Are Summit Investment Group homes custom homes?
The level of customization depends on the property and its stage of construction. A completed home generally offers fewer opportunities for modification than a home earlier in the construction process. Contact us about a specific property to learn what options may still be available.
How often are new properties added?
New properties are added as they become available. Because inventory changes, buyers interested in upcoming properties are encouraged to contact us or join our property update list.
Can I tour a Summit Investment Group home?
Yes. Tour availability depends on the property and construction status. Use the inquiry form on the individual property page or contact Summit Investment Group to request a showing.
Are the floor plans shown online exact?
Floor plans are intended to help buyers understand the general design and layout of a home. Dimensions, finishes, fixtures, construction details, and other elements may differ from conceptual plans or previously published versions of a floor plan. Property-specific information should always be confirmed before purchase.
What is a barndominium?
The term “barndominium” generally describes a home that incorporates architectural or construction characteristics associated with barns, agricultural buildings, or post-frame structures while providing finished residential living space. The term is used broadly, so construction methods can differ substantially from one home to another.
Why are open-concept floor plans common in Summit homes?
Open-concept designs can make gathering spaces feel larger, improve natural light, and create better connections between kitchens, dining areas, and living rooms. We prioritize plans that balance these shared spaces with private bedrooms and functional storage.
Why do many of the homes have large covered porches?
Covered porches provide usable outdoor living space while complementing the rural character of many of our homes. They can provide space for entertaining, relaxing, grilling, and enjoying the surrounding property while offering protection from sun and rain.
Do the homes include garages or workshops?
Some properties do. Garage, workshop, breezeway, and outbuilding configurations vary by home. Check the individual property listing for details.
What should I know before buying a home with acreage?
Rural property ownership can involve considerations that are less common with suburban homes, including driveway maintenance, drainage, septic systems, wells or utility water, fencing, land maintenance, internet availability, and access to emergency and other services.
Do rural homes have septic systems?
Many rural Tennessee homes use private septic systems rather than municipal sewer service. The wastewater system serving a particular property should be identified in the property documentation.
Do the properties use well water?
Water sources vary. A property may use municipal, utility-district, or private well water depending on its location. Check the individual listing or contact us for property-specific information.
Is high-speed internet available at rural properties?
Internet availability can vary significantly between properties, even within the same community. Buyers who depend on particular speeds or technologies for remote work, streaming, gaming, or other purposes should verify service directly with providers for the specific property address.
Can I have chickens, livestock, or other animals?
That depends on the property, local regulations, deed restrictions, and any applicable neighborhood or association rules. Buyers interested in homesteading or livestock should verify their intended use before purchasing.
Can I hunt on my property?
Hunting depends on acreage, location, property configuration, applicable Tennessee law, local ordinances, and surrounding development. Ownership of rural acreage does not automatically mean every form of hunting is permissible.
