You won't believe the views this time of year. Majestic 5.59 acre hilltop lot overlooking West Millers Cove & Little River in the foreground, with the northwestern foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in the distance. With the highest perched parcel of the 7-lot gated community of Old Cove Estates, the custom home you build here will be the envy of the neighborhood. The land affords you seasonal panoramic mountain views, or, if you cut down a sufficient number of trees, year-round views. The lot will require a well & septic system. Underground electricity. Conveniently located just off Hwy 321 and the Foothills Pkwy, with a 10 minute drive to Townsend, 15 minutes to Maryville, & 30 minutes to West Knoxville. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a mere 15 miles south. Perfect for your permanent home or a vacation gathering spot. Walland is situated in Miller's Cove, an enclosed valley at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Miller's Cove is walled off to the north by Chilhowee Mountain, a low ridge stretching for 35 miles between the Little Tennessee River to the west and the Little Pigeon River watershed to the east. Hurricane Mountain to the southwest and Bates Mountain to the southeast divide Miller's Cove from the much larger Tuckaleechee Cove at the base of the Smokies. Little River, which flows down from its source on the northern slopes of Clingmans Dome, splits Miller's Cove into eastern and western sections en route to flatlands of northern Blount County. The river's valley has long provided a convenient bottomland for trails and roads linking the coves of the northern Smokies. Today, it is traversed by U.S. Route 321, which connects Interstate 40 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Homes in Old Cove Estates are desirable. 218 Old Cove Road - a 2, 462 sq ft home - sold on August 9, 2019 for $480, 000 ($194.96 per sq ft).
