About Sixmile
Sixmile is a rural pocket of Blount County about 6 miles south of Maryville and roughly 10 miles southwest of Walland. The area spreads across rolling, wooded terrain typical of the land leading toward the Foothills region of the Great Smoky Mountains. Nearby neighborhoods include Montvale Springs, South View Estates, Montvale, Look Rock, East Forest and Bestview, all sharing a similar countryside setting. Maryville, to the north, serves as the closest full-service town for shopping, dining and daily errands. The land here favors larger parcels over tight subdivisions, with tree cover and creek drainage shaping how home sites sit on the landscape. Drivers headed toward Walland or the national park entrances pass through this corridor, making Sixmile a link between Maryville's commercial area and the mountains beyond.
Living in Sixmile
Homes around Sixmile tend to sit on larger wooded or pastured lots rather than in platted subdivisions, with single-family houses, cabins and some manufactured homes spread along rural roads. Architectural styles lean toward traditional ranch and farmhouse forms built for acreage. Maryville, about 6 miles north, is the go-to stop for groceries, pharmacies and big-box shopping, while Walland offers a smaller commercial cluster to the northeast. Commutes typically follow the main roads connecting to Maryville before linking to Alcoa Highway or US-321 for points beyond. Outdoor access is a draw, with the Foothills region and Smoky Mountains within reach for hiking and scenic drives, and nearby neighborhoods like Montvale Springs and Look Rock sharing the same wooded, low-traffic roads.
