Left Hand rewards unhurried living with rolling hills, quiet hollows, and quick access to the wider offerings of Roane County. Set along WV Route 36, it’s a short drive to everyday essentials in Spencer and an easy day trip to the cultural energy of Charleston. Outdoor time comes naturally here: anglers and cyclists can explore the riverfront miles of the newly developed Elk River Trail at the official Elk River Trail State Park, while hunters and wildlife watchers head to the expansive Wallback Wildlife Management Area.
Families appreciate the personal scale of local education through Roane County Schools, with Geary Elementary/Middle School serving the community and countywide programs that keep students engaged. Health care needs are met close by at Roane General Hospital in Spencer, and lifelong learners tap into agriculture, youth, and community programs via the WVU Extension Service (Roane County).
Weekends can swing from quiet creekside picnics to concerts and exhibits in the capital city; the Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences and the West Virginia State Museum showcase statewide arts and history within an hour’s drive. With neighboring Clay County just over the ridge, you’ll find even more backroads, rivers, and small-town events to explore.
Whether you’re planning to buy a home tucked along a scenic ridge or preparing to sell and move closer to town, Agent Pronto can quickly connect you with a top local real estate agent to guide your next step with confidence.
