San Martin Real Estate: South Valley’s Agricultural Equestrian Community

San Martin is an unincorporated community in southern Santa Clara County between Morgan Hill and Gilroy, a rural agricultural enclave of approximately 6,500 residents where the Santa Clara County General Plan’s agricultural and rural residential zoning has preserved the horse properties, small farms, vineyards, and the equestrian character that distinguishes San Martin from the suburban residential development that has consumed much of the surrounding South Valley communities. The community’s proximity to the South Valley Civic Center, the San Martin Airport (a small general aviation facility that serves the South Valley flight community), and the Morgan Hill and Gilroy commercial areas creates the service access that San Martin’s rural residents use without requiring urban development within the community itself.

San Martin’s character is defined by the minimum parcel sizes that the county’s rural residential zoning requires — typically one to five acres or larger — creating the land use pattern of larger properties with the agricultural and equestrian uses that the community’s buyers seek. The San Martin Winery and the surrounding vineyards in the area reflect the wine-growing character that the South Valley’s warm climate and the benchland soils support. The Morgan Hill Unified School District serves San Martin students, with the school bus service connecting the rural community to the district’s campuses.
