Lebanon Ohio 45036 New Construction:  Timberwood Estates Timberwood Estates is a very small, pocket community of only about 10 homes when fully built.  If you didn't know where to look on Wilmington Road you wouldn't even know it was there!  With lot sizes of 2 acres and up, it's meant to be a selective community.  With remaining lots set for walkout lots and backing up to the Turtlecreek Conservation area, you're going to have privacy.  And the developer reserves the right to approve the builders to control the quality of the neighborhood.  Currently Somerset and Ford have been approved for building.  To meet the requirements for Timberwood Estates, you should expect to pay in the high $300,000's minimum to build your custom home. Timberwood Estates, while private, is well located to m...
