At Rural Building Co., we have always believed that where you build should shape how you build. Denmark, on Western Australia’s stunning south coast, is one of those rare places that captures the imagination. With its rolling forested hills, sweeping beaches, and creative, community-focused atmosphere, Denmark is a town that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and live in tune with the land around you.

Nestled between Albany and Walpole, Denmark is a place of contrasts where tall karri forests meet white sand and turquoise water, and where life feels both peaceful and inspiring. Located 423 kilometres south-south-east of Perth, this coastal town is a haven for those looking to escape the city and embrace a lifestyle surrounded by nature. Whether you are walking along Greens Pool, located on the edge of William Bay National Park, exploring the vineyards of the Scotsdale Valley, or relaxing by the Wilson Inlet, Denmark offers a sense of balance and belonging that few places can match.

Denmark’s natural environment shapes everything we do, from the layout and materials to the way a home interacts with its surroundings. Our designs use timber, stone, and other natural textures that feel authentic to the landscape. Large windows and open living areas connect you to the outdoors, while thoughtful orientation maximises sunlight and cross-ventilation to keep your home comfortable throughout the year.

At Rural Building Co., we understand the beauty and challenges of building in such a unique location. The terrain, the coastal breezes, and the abundance of natural materials all influence how we design homes here. Our Retreat Range, Farmhouse Range, and Views Range are particularly well-suited to Denmark’s environment. These homes make the most of their outlook and orientation, using natural materials, open layouts, and outdoor spaces that embrace the elements rather than resist them.

The Greater Denmark region offers a variety of stunning places to build, each with its own character and lifestyle.

To the west, Ocean Beach and Lights Beach deliver spectacular coastal living. These areas are ideal for those who want to wake up to sea breezes and ocean views. Homes from our Views Range fit beautifully here, taking advantage of elevation and aspect to frame the coast while providing sheltered outdoor living spaces suited to changing coastal conditions.

Inland, the Scotsdale Valley is known for its lush farmland, wineries, and rolling green hills. This area is perfect for anyone seeking a semi-rural lifestyle with room to grow, create, and connect to the land. Our Farmhouse Range complements this setting, combining spacious living areas with natural finishes that reflect the region’s warmth and authenticity.

To the north, Mount Shadforth offers breathtaking views across the valley and towards the Southern Ocean. It is a location that calls for design that complements the land, with generous decks, elevated living areas, and large windows that bring the outdoors in. The Retreat Range is a perfect match, balancing contemporary design with the relaxed feel of country living.

Further east, areas such as Hay, Kordabup, and William Bay offer larger blocks and untouched bushland, ideal for those seeking privacy and connection with nature. These locations suit people who want to live sustainably and quietly, surrounded by forest and wildlife. Homes from our Retreat Range and eco-inspired collections suit these settings beautifully, combining environmentally conscious design with the craftsmanship and comfort Rural Building Co. is known for.

To experience our designs in person, visit our South West display home. The Gelorup Retreat is a wonderful example of a display home that showcases our approach to rural and coastal living, with natural textures, considered detailing, and strong indoor-outdoor connections. The Darlington Display is another great example of our farmhouse-inspired design language.

Each display clearly shows how our designs respond to coastal winds, site orientation, and local materials. Seeing a display home helps you imagine how a Rural Building Co. design can sit on your block in Albany or the Great Southern.
