For those of you unfamiliar with southern Orange County, San Clemente is a quiet beach town well known for its laid back surf culture and 1,296-foot long pier. San Clemente boasts two world-famous surf spots, Trestles and T-Street, that double as popular beach hangouts year round. If land sports are more for you, here’s a little snippet about the San Clemente Municipal Golf Course that describes its sprawling 18 hole course against a ocean backdrop:

The San Clemente Golf Club is a scenic, family friendly Championship 18 hole golf course where Fridays are still weekdays, walkers are still welcome and juniors are always ¬? price. Owned and operated by the City of San Clemente, the course is located approximately one mile from the Pacific Ocean and features ocean views from a number of holes. Named “Best Value in Orange County” in 2008, the rolling hills and relaxed atmosphere of the “Muni” have remained popular with local golfers for over seventy five years.

Traveling to and from San Clemente is easy and convenient, easing the burden of a daily commute. The San Diego Freeway runs parallel to San Clemente, making freeway access a breeze, and there is also an Amtrak train station in town for those looking for a more scenic, relaxing route to travel up and down California’s coast.

The Bid Deadline for this property is April 15th, 2010. If you are looking to capitalize on a spectacular opportunity in this buyer’s market, I encourage you to come visit the online auction at FRE.com for all of the property details and documentation.
