About Cold Springs
Cold Springs is a rural stretch of Blount County, Tennessee, set in the foothills north of Walland, southeast of Wildwood and northwest of Townsend. The area sits near the Lamar Alexander Parkway (US-321) corridor that links Walland to Townsend and on toward the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance. The Little River runs through this part of the county, shaping the rolling, wooded terrain found on many area roads. Nearby neighborhoods include Cowan Springs, Melrose, Watertown, Rocky Branch, Oak View and Walland Gap, forming a loose network of low-density roads rather than a platted subdivision grid. Walland itself is a small crossroads community with local businesses and is known regionally for Blackberry Farm nearby. Cold Springs offers a foothills setting within reach of both Maryville to the north and the national park entrance at Townsend to the south.
Living in Cold Springs
Homes around Cold Springs tend to sit on larger wooded or sloped lots, with ranch houses, cabins and newer custom builds built for the hilly terrain rather than a dense subdivision layout. Many properties back up to trees or creek frontage given the Little River watershed nearby. US-321 (Lamar Alexander Parkway) is the main route, carrying traffic north toward Maryville and Knoxville and south toward Townsend and the national park entrance. Everyday errands usually mean a drive into Walland or Maryville for groceries and shopping, while outdoor time is close by through the national park, the Townsend Wye and area pull-offs along the Little River for fishing or wading.
