Wirt County is one of West Virginia’s smallest by population and lies in the north-western region. With the county seat in Elizabeth, the land is largely rural, wooded, and low-density. Housing consists of small town homes, farmhouses, mobile homes and substantial acreage lots. Existing home prices are among the lowest in the state—many homes likely range US $110,000-$180,000, land parcels might be US $10,000-$40,000, and building new homes might cost US $160,000-$230,000. The nearest larger city is Parkersburg (~30 miles), giving moderate access to amenities. Wirt County is ideal for budget-conscious buyers seeking deep country living
