Walland offers privacy and mountain scenery
Walland draws those looking for seclusion while remaining within reasonable distance of the region’s dining destinations and key services. “It’s very private and remote. It’s the salt of the mountain type feel back there,” says Penny Cowell, owner of Monarch Realty. “I would say it’s undeveloped to a point where it still has that uninterrupted, true mountain feel.” Cowell adds that the community is no more than about 15 minutes from cities like Maryville and Townsend. Additionally, the community’s few hundred residents live near fishing holes and hiking trails. U.S. Highway 321 and the much traveled Foothills Parkway pass through the area, allowing many to go on winding drives up the mountains and get sweeping views of the surrounding hills and forests.
Foothills Parkway offers breathtaking views of the Great Smoky Mountains and cuts through the middle of Walland.

Housing ranges from ranch-style to luxury homes in the woods
Many homes here are on spacious lots overlooked by the hills. Quiet roads with no sidewalks also wind through the area. Walland offers homeowners some room, with a few lots spanning over 10 acres. Houses here include ranch-style, farmhouse and New Traditional homes. There are also some cabins and luxury lodge-style homes nestled in the woods. “They’re there and they’re usually gated off,” Cowell says. “It’s probably a private retreat of somebody with some status, and they don’t want to be found.” Many homes with less than 2 acres or needing improvements run between $180,000 and $460,000. Newer homes or ones on multiple acres go from $510,000 to $840,000. Some upscale or lodge-style properties run between $900,000 and $1.3 million. Walland also has an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, below the national average of 4.

Blackberry Farm, Little River and mountains offer outdoor escapes
The nearby mountains and waterways provide quick access to various outdoor activities. The Little River snakes through the area, offering convenient tubing and trout fishing spots. Places along the river include Peery’s Mill Park, which many visit to see the wide waterfall created by its low-head dam. However, there are plans to tear down the dam due to long-standing safety concerns. Blackberry Farm isn’t just known for dining and lodging, as many come there to fly fish in Hesse Creek. The property also has over 12 miles of trails. “It has a lot of acreage. You can go hiking there,” Cowell says. “Blackberry Farm is quite exclusive, and it’s nice.” The community is also just north of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which has even more miles of rugged and forested trails.
