Copen offers a quiet, countryside rhythm with room to roam and easy-going access to daily essentials. Set in Braxton County, the community connects by rural roads to nearby hubs like Sutton, Gassaway, Burnsville, and Flatwoods, making errands, dining, and commuting straightforward.
Outdoors, residents lean into the area’s natural abundance. Weekends often mean casting a line at the clear, well-managed waters of Sutton Lake or exploring quiet coves at Burnsville Lake. Hunters and wildlife watchers appreciate the broad habitat at the Elk River Wildlife Management Area, while hikers head for shaded trails and waterfalls at Holly River State Park. The pace is unhurried, the stars are bright, and the creeks set the soundtrack.
