Room to build. Room to breathe. And a location that puts Western North Carolina at your doorstep. This 0.77-acre homesite — the larger of two newly created parcels just outside Marion, NC — offers a generous building envelope with the rare advantage of city water and sewer already accessible. No HOA, paved road frontage via US 221, and a shared private drive providing secondary access make this a genuinely ready-to-develop opportunity in a market where buildable lots are increasingly hard to find. The lot's natural topography gives it character. With some slope to the terrain, a thoughtful home design can take full advantage of the elevation — think covered porches, a walk-out basement, or elevated views that a flat lot simply can't offer. Buyers who've built on sloped land in WNC know that grade often creates the most interesting and livable homes when worked with rather than against. It's worth noting that a power line easement runs along the side of the property. This is reflected in the recorded plat and should be factored into your site and home placement planning — your builder or designer can help you work with the lot layout to maximize the usable footprint. City water and sewer access eliminates two of the biggest hurdles on rural land — no perc tests, no well installation, no septic system to engineer. That means a cleaner, faster, more predictable path from vacant lot to finished home. The location is one of this property's strongest suits. Minutes from downtown Marion's restaurants, shops, schools, and healthcare, and just a short drive from Lake James — one of WNC's most beloved recreational destinations. Boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and some of the most scenic mountain and water views in the region are practically in your backyard. Pisgah National Forest, Linville Gorge, and the Blue Ridge Parkway round out an outdoor lifestyle that draws people to this area from across the country. If you're ready to build now or securing land for what's next, this parcel delivers meaningful acreage, public utilities, and a mountain location that's hard to replicate at this price point. Your next chapter starts here.
