Where Luxury Meets the Links — A Golfer’s Dream Estate in San Marcos
Perfectly poised between the sparkling waters of Lake San Marcos and the rolling greens of The Links at Lakehouse, this home is your personal front-row seat to golf course grandeur and resort-style tranquility. Sip your morning espresso on the patio to panoramic views spanning the 7th, 8th and 9th fairways in the mornings and toast to evening sunsets that sweep across the course like a champion’s drive.
Step inside to an open-concept design where a full wall of sliding glass doors draws your eye straight to the course making every glance out your window feel like a golf magazine cover. Entertain with ease or relax in quiet luxury as indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly. The kitchen and bathrooms feature exquisite stone surfaces that strike the perfect balance between upscale and effortless, while the fully remodeled bathrooms offer a spa-like retreat that pampers daily. The oversized master suite is a private haven, with space to spread out and sunlight that filters in just right.
Whether you're enjoying a morning stroll or hosting post-round cocktails, every corner of this home exudes comfort, class, and California ease.
And when you're ready to explore beyond the fairways? You're minutes from boating, lakeside dining, paddleboarding, boutique shops, and all the vibrant amenities that make Lake San Marcos one of North County’s most coveted communities.
When you're not perfecting your swing, you're soaking in sunsets, strolling lakeside paths, or enjoying a round of cocktails after your round of golf — this isn’t just a home, it’s your everyday escape to the 19th hole.
