Welcome to SoHum (Southern Humboldt) - Rugged, Remote, and Wildly Beautiful

Living in Southern Humboldt is about choosing a different pace—one that’s grounded in nature, space, and independence.
 
This region stretches across communities like Garberville, Benbow, Shelter Cove, Honeydew, and Alderpoint—each offering its own unique feel, but all connected by a more rural, off-the-beaten-path lifestyle.
 
Known for its dramatic landscapes, Southern Humboldt is home to towering redwoods, winding rivers, and some of the most untouched coastline in California, including access to the remote Lost Coast. It’s a place where outdoor living isn’t a weekend activity—it’s part of everyday life.
 
Life here is quieter and more self-sufficient. You’ll find everything from small-town hubs with local shops and services to completely private, off-grid properties tucked deep into the hills.
 
Homes range from riverfront cabins and rural homesteads to larger acreage properties, often offering more land, privacy, and flexibility than more populated areas.If you’re looking to unplug, spread out, and live closer to nature, Southern Humboldt offers a lifestyle that’s truly one of a kind.
