San Martin

 

 

San Martin is a quaint rural community located between the Santa Cruz and Diablo mountain ranges in the southern Santa Clara Valley. This quiet community has lots of agricultural land devoted to the production of garlic, mushrooms, and wine. San Martin’s picturesque landscape is dotted with farms and vineyards, and housing options range from classic Californian ranches to spectacular country villas and estates. There are also empty lots for constructing the home of your dreams.

 

Rosewood CordeValle is a luxury five-star golf and spa resort nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountain foothills. Rosewood CordeValle’s stunning 18-hole golf course was designed by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. The course covers 270 acres of beautiful rolling terrain with dramatic elevation changes. This world-class course has hosted championship events, including the U.S. Women’s Open and PGA Cup. The resort also offers several outstanding dining spaces. One Iron Bar at Rosewood CordeValle serves contemporary California cuisine prepared with fresh local ingredients and paired with select vintages from Clos LaChance Winery.

 

Another great dining spot is San Martin Café on Monterey Road. This laid-back family-run diner serves hearty Mexican-American breakfast plates and tasty light bites such as sandwiches and salads for lunch. There are also many wineries nearby, including Miramar Vineyards. The vineyards feature 10 acres of pastoral land and a tasting room for sampling its sublime varietals.

Harvey Bear Hiking Trail runs from the Coyote Lake and over the Coyote Ridge, taking in many scenic vistas along its 3.3-mile route to Harvey Bear County Park.
