Villas in Otterup

About Otterup

Otterup is a town of about 5,300 on Funen, in Nordfyn Municipality, once home to the Schultz & Larsen rifle factory, which ran from 1889 to 1994. Most of our houses are not in the town itself but around the holiday-home area at Hasmark Strand, an 8 km bike ride from Otterup along Strandvejen. They are mostly three-bedroom houses for around six, most with a fireplace, some with a sauna and almost none with a pool. The beach at Hasmark has a sandy bottom, shallow water and a dike behind it, with a playground, showers, toilets, changing rooms and a café. Beyond it the Enebærodde spit runs out to a lighthouse.
