LEBANON, Tenn., Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- M/I Homes Nashville, unveiled its first Pelotonia Benefit Home this month at a ribbon-cutting event, marking the division's inaugural year participating in the national initiative supporting life-saving cancer research.

The division debuted the home in Barton's Mill in Lebanon, TN. The home, now on the market and in its final stages of development, represents a major milestone in M/I Homes' commitment to supporting cancer research. During the event, a check for $102,539 was presented to representatives of Pelotonia, a nonprofit organization and cycling event that supports innovative cancer research and breakthrough treatments at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, with additional collaborative support from partners including Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville.

The Benefit Home is a move-in-ready single-family home with four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a two-car garage and 2,507 sq. ft. of open-concept living space. Located 25 miles from downtown Nashville, Barton's Mill offers small-town charm with convenient access to city life. The project was made possible through vendor contributions, including donated materials and labor.
