Property from 547 James View Road - KW

A rare level wooded building lot inside the private gated community of Lakewood in Marion. 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 one deserves your attention.

Located on James View Road, this 1.50-acre homesite offers the peaceful setting buyers want with the practical features they need: paved private road access, underground power, a quiet established subdivision, and a location just minutes from downtown Marion. Lakewood offers the privacy of a gated community without making you feel isolated from everyday conveniences, restaurants, shops, local festivals, Lake James, hiking, and the natural beauty McDowell County is known for.

The lot is wooded, level, and buildable - giving future owners a strong starting point for planning a custom home. Whether you envision a full-time residence, a mountain retreat, or a quiet second home close to town and outdoor recreation, this property offers flexibility and peace of mind in a protected residential setting. Community restrictions help preserve the character of the neighborhood.

Well and septic will be needed, allowing the future owner to design the homesite around their own plans and preferences. Potential land/home package options may 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 paved access, underground utilities, privacy, and a location that balances mountain quiet with Marion convenience, this is the kind of lot that makes sense both emotionally and practically. Come walk the property, and imagine what life could look like in Lakewood - a private gated community where your future home can feel peaceful, intentional, and connected to everything you love about Western North Carolina.
