Scotia is an unincorporated town in Humboldt County with warm summers and mild winters. The Wild and Scenic Eel River is nearby as are the towering redwoods on the famous Avenue of the Giants. Scotia has affordable housing and most of the businesses in town are within walking distance.

Once one of the last existing company-owned towns, Scotia is now transitioning into a community of privately owned homes and businesses. Approximately half of the 270 houses in Scotia are now in private ownership, others are currently for sale, and more will be available over the next several years.

To see which houses are currently available for sale, visit the website of Coldwell Banker Cutten Realty In phase 3 of home sales (currently underway) houses are and will become available on sections of Main Street, B Street, and 4th, 5th, and 6th Streets.

Most of the houses in Scotia are traditional craftsman style and built to stand the test of time, in a small neighborhood setting. The community of Scotia began to develop in the early 1900s, with most of the houses in town built between 1905 and 1930.

Many of the houses in Scotia still owned by Town of Scotia Company LLC, are currently occupied and being rented, some to long-term tenants of this small community. Although receiving regular inquiries, Town of Scotia Company does not have any available rentals.

To pave the way for private home and business ownership in Scotia, the community has been and is being subdivided into individual parcels, so homebuyers also own the property on which the house sits.

Infrastructure upgrades have been and are being made throughout Scotia, including water and sewer hookups, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, storm drains, and paved roadways.

There is no homeowner’s association in Scotia, but there are recorded Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs), and a Humboldt County historic zoning overlay has been placed on the town.
