The San Marcos Trout Club was established in the 1920's by a group of people from Santa Barbara. They built cabins and developed trout pools down by San Jose creek. The owners would then come up her during the summers to hunt, fish and party. The Trout Club has 55 acres of community property, including big fields and land in the canyon down by the creek.

The setting of the community is quiet and tranquil, yet just 12 minutes to Cathedral Oaks. The community is in the Mountain View School attendance area. The San Marcos Trout Club provides an opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of town and live in the rural Trout Club Community that is made up of only 36 houses. Where you own the land and it is not Forest Service leased land.
