Marlinton, WV Homes & Real Estate
Historic homes, riverfront properties, and mountain land in the heart of Pocahontas County…where the Greenbrier River Trail meets real small-town life.
A River Town with Real Roots
Marlinton isn’t a resort…it’s a real town: the county seat since 1891 and the first English settlement west of the Alleghenies. Life here runs along the Greenbrier River and the 78-mile rail-trail that threads through the middle of it, with the Monongahela National Forest, the Highland Scenic Highway, and a string of state parks just past the edge of town. Snowshoe’s slopes are a short drive north. For buyers who want history, a walkable downtown, and room to roam…without resort prices…Marlinton is where you put down roots. To the north, the slopes of Snowshoe and the quiet forests of Slatyfork are an easy drive away.
