Wooded Hillside Lots in Marion, NC (0.20 Acres)
A Quiet City-Limits Hideaway in the Foothills

Tucked inside the City of Marion in McDowell County, this 0.20-acre (8,598 sq ft) property (Lots 2, 3, & 4 in Mt Ida Park) offers a rare mix of in-town convenience and wooded, hillside privacy. The land is sloped and tree-covered, sitting around 1,4401,450 ft elevation, giving it that classic Western North Carolina foothills feelgreen, quiet, and slightly above it all.

Even though it feels tucked away, you're just minutes from what you need. Downtown Marion is about 4 minutes away, with gas, groceries, and daily services close by. You're also near US-221 / US-70 / I-40, making it easy to get around the region.

The area is surrounded by Appalachian scenery and weekend adventures. Nearby attractions include Catawba Falls, Andrews Geyser, and Linville Caverns, offering plenty of hiking, exploring, and scenic day trips.
