Last week’s sales…. It was a great week for Cristal Clarke, listing agent of the first two properties below.
3568 TORO CANYON PARK ROAD (ALSO PICTURED ABOVE)
2009 contemporary designed by Andy Neumann on 43 acres, with jaw-dropping views.

Closed: $18.5 million.
·············
607 SAND POINT ROAD
Four-bedroom oceanfront house built in 1963. The neat thing about Sand Point Road, in Carpinteria, is that it’s far from the freeway and train tracks (unlike Padaro Lane).

·············
4515 HIGHWAY 154
Three 100-acre parcels, and site of the former Rancho San Marcos Golf Course.
Listed: $12 million in June 2021. UPDATE: Thanks to Anonymous for teaching me something I didn’t know—and for pointing out that the buyer is apparently Battaglia Inc., an Irvine-based developer of theme parks. I’ll be looking more into this….

Any word/insight on purchaser of rancho San Marcos golf course?
The transaction showed up in MLS, but the title report hasn’t come out yet, so the buyer remains unknown. (It’s likely an LLC.) The buyer’s agent was a commercial real estate agent, for what that’s worth.
The Grantor-Grantee index is updated daily (https://records.sbcrecorder.com/web/action/ACTIONGROUP439S2).
Looks like it was purchased by RSM Resort LLC which appears tied to https://www.battagliainc.com/AboutUs.html
I remember in the 80’s when they filmed The Postman Always Rings Twice at the Rancho San Marcos golf course, before it was a golf course. I don’t think the film did all that well but it was fun watching and looking for recognizable landmarks.
