About Walland

Walland is a small foothills community without formal subdivisions. Properties are best understood by their terrain character and position along the US-321 corridor between Maryville and Townsend.

US-321 Foothills Corridor

The main road running through Walland connecting Maryville east and Townsend west. Properties along and off this corridor have the most practical daily access in the community — a short drive to Maryville's services in one direction and Townsend's mountain setting in the other. The most accessible Walland properties cluster along this stretch.

Little River Adjacent Properties

The Little River corridor passes through the Walland area on its way from the Smokies toward Maryville. Properties near the river benefit from the same natural character that makes this waterway one of Blount County's most valued residential settings — fishing access, riparian beauty, and the sound of moving water as a daily backdrop.

Wooded Hillside Properties

As the terrain rises above the US-321 valley floor, properties gain elevation and wooded character. These hillside lots offer privacy, tree canopy, and views toward the Smoky Mountains ridgeline. The most isolated and scenically distinct properties in the Walland area sit on the surrounding foothills terrain.

Rural Acreage & Foothills Tracts

Multi-acre wooded parcels throughout the Walland area — some with existing structures, some as raw land. These attract buyers who want to build in the foothills, buyers seeking hunting or recreational land, or anyone who wants the mountain-adjacent character of western Blount County with more acreage than Rockford or Maryville typically provide.

Blackberry Farm Area

Walland is home to Blackberry Farm — one of the most acclaimed luxury resort properties in the United States, situated on a working farm at the foot of the Smokies. The presence of Blackberry Farm defines the aesthetic and cultural character of the Walland area in a way that few rural Tennessee communities can claim. Residential properties in this part of Walland carry a setting and prestige associated with the broader Blackberry Farm address.

Maryville Fringe Access

The eastern end of the Walland corridor approaching Rockford and Maryville — the most commuter-practical part of the Walland area with the shortest drive to Maryville's services and schools. Properties here still carry the Walland foothills character while being positioned for the quickest daily access toward town.
