A rare level, wooded building lot in the private gated community of Lakewood in Marion, with some of the biggest unknowns of buying vacant land already addressed. The property has already been approved for a 3-bedroom septic system, and the septic and well permits are in place and valid through January 22, 2029.

If you have been searching for mountain land but keep finding parcels that feel too steep, too remote, or too complicated to build on, this 1.50-acre homesite on James View Road deserves your attention.

The property offers the peaceful mountain setting buyers want with the practical features they need: level terrain, paved private road access, underground power, a quiet established subdivision, and a location just minutes from downtown Marion.

The wooded homesite gives future owners a strong starting point for planning a custom home while still offering the privacy and natural setting that draws buyers to Western North Carolina. Whether you envision a full-time residence, mountain retreat, or quiet second home, this property offers flexibility in a protected residential setting.

Lakewood provides the privacy of a gated community without making you feel isolated from everyday conveniences. Downtown Marion, restaurants, shopping, local festivals, Lake James, hiking, and the outdoor recreation McDowell County is known for are all within easy reach. Community restrictions help preserve the character of the neighborhood.

Potential land/home package options may also be available for qualified buyers. Contact the listing agent for details. Package pricing, builder availability, financing terms, and eligibility are to be verified by the buyer.

With level land, paved access, underground power, gated privacy, and important preliminary site work already completed, this is the kind of mountain homesite that makes sense both emotionally and practically.

Come walk the property and imagine what life could look like in Lakewood, where mountain quiet and Marion convenience come together.
