Secluded, rural properties 13 miles from Grants Pass

Hugo attracts farmers, gardeners and folks who want to live in the woods. This “little rural community about 15 minutes from Grants Pass,” says Kendon Leet, owner of Kendon Leet Real Estate, was devoted mostly to cherry farming throughout the 20th century, while Grants Pass developed as a main city in the region. Present-day Hugo properties provide space to grow food and raise animals. “Acreages are larger than in Pleasant Valley or Merlin,” Leet says. It’s a spread-out community with no central hub or main intersection. Homes have plenty of privacy, thanks to the spacious lots and tree cover.

Hiking, rafting and fishing spots

Peaking at almost 4,000 feet, Sexton Mountain overlooks the neighborhood. Locals can drive about 14 miles to the mountain and then hike up to the lookout tower. Though the tower isn’t in use, the journey up the mountain offers unobstructed views of the verdant valley and surrounding hills below. Kayakers, paddleboarders and anglers can access the Rogue River at Hog Creek County Park, about 10 miles southwest of Hugo. River rafters can brave the rapids in late spring, summer or fall. Salmon, trout and steelhead call the Rogue River home, and fishing is always in season.

A farmhouse in the forests of Hugo

Streets curve through the woods, past fenced-in pastures and over two railroad crossings. Many of the neighborhood’s ranch-style homes and contemporary farmhouses sit on about five acres of land in the middle of the woods. Prices range from $360,000 to $728,000, though some properties with more acreage have higher asking prices. Similarly, manufactured homes range from $275,000 to $379,000 and include up to five acres. All homes use well water and operate on septic systems, and most include features such as creek access, a shed or perimeter fencing. Undeveloped land parcels between five and 64 acres range from $200,000 to $575,000.

Gathering for art at the quilt fair and faith at church

For over 40 years, the Hugo Ladies Schoolhouse Quilters have organized the annual Quilts Show & Craft Fair at the red schoolhouse in the middle of the neighborhood. Every October, shoppers can browse quilts and other handcrafted goods, paintings, fabric art and homemade pies. The event also features door prizes and live music and singing. Neighbors also gather at Hugo Community Church; “There are a lot of churches in southern Oregon,” Leet says. “Pretty much every community has a little church. In Hugo, the community church has a decent, tight-knit community of people.”
Hugo Community Church is one of several houses of worship spread frequently throughout Hugo, OR.

Interstate 5 connects the region

Hugo includes access to Interstate 5, one of the West Coast’s main north-to-south highways, which leads to the nearest hospital and regional airport. Asante Three Rivers Medical Center is about 15 miles south and Rogue Valley International Medford Airport is 39 miles southeast. Grants Pass Airport is also nearby; however, it does not accommodate major airlines.

Staying safe in the forest

Hugo’s CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4. However, some environmental factors present safety concerns. In the summer, Hugo can experience high temperatures, wildfire risks and smoky air from regional forest fires. Whether in the backyard or out in the wilderness, residents should try to avoid poison oak, rattlesnakes and ticks.
