Welcome to the San Marcos Trout Club! This community of 36 homes is located just minutes up Highway 154. This is a very special place with acres of open, wooded space and views of the city and ocean below. This enclave has private access to part of the San Jose Creek which has swimming holes year round. This home was custom built by the current owners in 2003. The main level is a 3/2 with a huge living room and remodeled kitchen. There is a gorgeous view deck off of the kitchen which looks out on community open space and the city below. Downstairs is the huge family room with a laundry room, full bath and access to the two car garage. The feel you get from being in this home is one of tranquility, at one with nature, and yet just minutes to Santa Barbara and schools and shopping... In 1924 a group of Santa Barbara masons bought 120 wooded acres 1200 feet up the seaward slope of San Marcos Pass alongside San Jose Creek for use as a private masonic retreat. They platted 30 homesites and began building mountain vacation homes. Potential buyers were offered pure air, matchless views and freedom from fog! Well, the San Marcos Trout Club has come a long way since her storied beginnings. Come and see for yourself!
