Rural southwest Oregon area immersed in forestland
Located just outside the tiny town of Langlois, Denmark is a rural, unincorporated area surrounded by farmland and forests. “I think some people are drawn here for the cooler temperatures and ability to live off the grid and have complete privacy,” says Alexis Willick, Realtor for North Point Real Estate and local of seven years. Generations of farmers and ranchers hold onto their properties, so residential homes don’t stay on the market long. U.S. Route 101 has stunning views of green and tan bluffs in the summer, and in the fall, drivers can catch glimpses of reddish-purple cranberry bogs as they head north. Fishing, hiking and mushroom hunting are popular pastimes here, and residents enjoy getting together at the Langlois Artisan Market. “If you choose to, you can know your neighbor. You can be as connected or disconnected as you want here,” says Willick.
Farms and forestested areas make up a large portion of the Denmark area.

Summer days at the Valley Flora Farm
While there are no parks in Denmark, locals have access to tons of outdoor recreation spots. Valley Flora Farm is a 4-mile drive north and offers strawberry picking in the summer, locally grown vegetables and a large, open field for outdoor concerts. Four miles west, the 236-acre Floras Lake is a go-to spot for paddle boarding and kitesurfing. Its dark, damp landscape makes it a popular place for mushroom hunters, and in the spring, anglers cast their reels in hopes of catching rainbow trout and Chinook Salmon. The multi-acre Floras Lake State Natural Area has several natural trails, like the 4-mile-long Blacklock Point Trail overlooking a dark rock-covered beach.

Few housing options in Denmark
The Denmark area has some single-family homes on long, narrow unmarked dirt roads that connect to the paved U.S. Route 101. Midcentury and early 2000s manufactured homes with metal roofs and small front porches sit on 7-acre lots shaded by massive pine trees. These two-to-three-bedroom homes feature open, spacious front and back yards with space for RV parking and carport-covered gravel driveways. Prices typically range between $350,000 and $500,000. Midcentury ranch and late 20th-century custom A-frame log cabin homes sit higher on forested hills throughout the community. Priced from $450,000 to $750,000, these properties have wooden back patios with views of distant farmland and tree groves.

Getting to and from Denmark
U.S. Route 101 travels north-south in the neighborhood, linking neighbors to Langlois’ city center 3 miles north and Port Orford 10 miles south. It’s a car-dependent area, and traffic is usually light. Willick says traffic gets congested in the summer as tourists come in and out with camping trailers on Route 101. Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center is 14 miles north, and Southwest Oregon Regional Airport is 42 miles away. The airport offers flights to San Francisco and Denver.

Staying prepared in case of tsunami threats
Although Denmark is about 3 miles away from the Oregon coastline, residents can still be affected by tsunamis caused by underwater earthquakes. In 2011, the Great Tohoku Japan earthquake shifted a massive tsunami toward the shore, causing significant damage to docked boats and small businesses. Today, Curry County uses a siren system to warn residents of any incoming swells, and people can find evacuation maps on the county’s main website. Many locals may also keep a 72-hour first-aid kit in their homes and vehicles to have for emergencies.
