649 Merit Drive, San Marcos, CA 92078
Welcome to the lifestyle so many families are quietly searching for in San Marcos. Nestled inside the gated community of Rancho Tesoro, this 3-bedroom + office (with a closet already added for optional 4th bedroom use) and owned solar, offers the perfect blend of charm, functionality, and connection. Step outside your front door and you’re minutes from Discovery Lake, miles of hiking trails, and the vibrant energy of North City with its growing lineup of restaurants, coffee shops, and community events. Cal State San Marcos and Palomar College are just nearby, making this location incredibly convenient while still feeling peaceful and tucked away. Rancho Tesoro is known for its resort-style pool, gated entry, community BBQ area, parks, and neighborhood gatherings where kids play freely and neighbors truly know each other. This is more than a home. It’s sunset walks. Pool days. Trail mornings. It’s the kind of place people move to and never want to leave. Come experience it in person.
