Eglon rewards those who crave room to breathe, with wide skies, farm-dotted hills, and immediate access to the Allegheny highlands. Set within Preston County, it puts celebrated outdoor escapes within easy reach: the thunderous cascades of Blackwater Falls State Park, the expansive trails and slopes at Canaan Valley Resort State Park, the old-growth hemlocks of Cathedral State Park, and the rare bogs and boardwalks of Cranesville Swamp Preserve. Day trips to artsy Thomas, the county seat in Kingwood, or university-fueled Morgantown add dining, music, and big-game energy thanks to West Virginia University.
Families appreciate the scale and support of Preston County Schools, with high schoolers attending activity-rich Preston High School in nearby Kingwood. Community rhythms still matter here—fall brings tractors, parades, and homemade fare at the storied Preston County Buckwheat Festival, while weekends fill with fishing, mushroom foraging, and quiet back-road drives. Housing ranges from wooded cabins and classic farmhouses to acreage-ready parcels for custom builds, often with mountain views that change character across the seasons.
Whether you’re searching for a homestead with elbow room or preparing to list a property that’s ready for its next chapter, Agent Pronto can quickly connect you with a top local real estate professional who knows Eglon inside and out.
