Some buyers are not looking for a house that already exists. They are looking for the right setting, the right neighborhood, and the right piece of land to create something of their own. Lot 46 in Cross Creek Village offers that opportunity: a peaceful homesite in an established Marion community with usable terrain, natural privacy, and a setting that feels both tucked away and connected. Set on approximately 0.75 acre, this lot gives you a beautiful starting point for a future home in the foothills of Western North Carolina. The property features a level, usable area that appears well-suited for a homesite, along with mature trees and a wooded backdrop that create privacy, shade, and a sense of place. It is not just a vacant lot. It is the beginning of what could become a thoughtfully designed home in a neighborhood that already feels established. This is for the buyer who wants options. Maybe you are planning a full-time residence and want to build something that fits your lifestyle from the ground up. Maybe you are dreaming of a one-level home with quality finishes, outdoor living space, and a peaceful wooded view. Maybe you are planning ahead for retirement and want to secure the location now. Or maybe you are looking for a smart, attainable way to build in a desirable Marion neighborhood without starting in the middle of nowhere. Cross Creek Village offers the feel of an established residential community while keeping you within easy reach of downtown Marion, shopping, restaurants, schools, medical services, Lake James, Morganton, Asheville, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. You can have breathing room, trees, and a quieter setting without giving up access to the places and conveniences that matter. Picture a timeless craftsman with a covered front porch, a charming mountain cottage tucked into the trees, or a comfortable one-level design created for easy living. The lot offers a setting that can support a practical build, but it also has the kind of natural character that allows a higher-end buyer to create something intentional, polished, and lasting. Affordable homesites in established communities are becoming harder to find, especially lots that offer both neighborhood appeal and natural beauty.

Positioned to capture stunning views across the lake, the homesite features a gently situated building envelope that makes planning and construction easier while maximizing both privacy and scenery. Imagine waking each morning to sparkling water views and ending your evenings with colorful sunsets reflected across the lake and surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. The Peninsula is one of Lake James’ most sought after waterfront communities, known for its natural beauty, upscale homes, and peaceful setting. This lot offers direct waterfront access and is considered dockable, providing the potential for convenient boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding right from your property. A pier permit has not yet been issued and will need to be obtained through Duke Energy, allowing future owners the opportunity to pursue dock approval based on their plans and specifications.

The walk to the shoreline is steep, but the reward is direct access to one of North Carolina’s most beautiful lakes and the opportunity to enjoy everything Lake James has to offer. Waterfront opportunities at this price point are exceptionally rare on Lake James. Over the past 12 months, only four dockable waterfront lots have sold for less than $325,000.
