About Townsend
Browse homes for sale in Townsend, TN, the Blount County gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Cades Cove entrance via Laurel Creek Road. Townsend runs along the Little River and Highway 321 through Tuckaleechee Cove, and the market here is different from the rest of the county: cabins and chalets used as second homes and vacation rentals, riverfront lots, mountain-view homes on the ridges and a smaller number of year-round houses near the elementary school. Rental rules vary by parcel and subdivision, so check each listing's details for permitted use. Tuckaleechee Caverns, the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center and the Townsend Wye swimming hole are local landmarks. Maryville is about 20 minutes away, and Blount County Schools serves the area.
