Selbyville balances quiet mountain living with practical access to work, school, and the outdoors. Tucked into the southern reaches of Upshur County near the line with Randolph County, it offers winding back roads, clear creeks, and starry night skies—plus a straightforward drive to the conveniences of Buckhannon. Outdoor enthusiasts have a deep bench of options: the expansive Monongahela National Forest, high-elevation trails at Kumbrabow State Forest, ferny gorges and waterfalls at Holly River State Park, riverside swimming and tubing at Audra State Park, and quiet coves for trout and muskie at Stonecoal Lake Wildlife Management Area.
Families appreciate the community scale and school options. Students are served by Upshur County Schools, with secondary programs at Buckhannon-Upshur High School offering academics, arts, and athletics. Nearby, West Virginia Wesleyan College brings lectures, performances, and collegiate athletics to the local calendar, while Buckhannon’s eateries, shops, and seasonal festivals add small-city energy to weekly routines.
Housing in and around Selbyville ranges from wooded acreage and camp-friendly parcels to updated farmhouses and creekside cabins, making it easy to match lifestyle with budget.
