Homes in San Martin
San Martin is unincorporated county land between Morgan Hill and Gilroy, known for ranches, wineries and orchards. County rural residential zoning here includes five-acre minimum parcels, where a house can share the property with horses, farm animals or a vineyard. Homes typically run on private wells and septic systems, and there are large estates in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
On parcels this size, houses tend to sit well back from the road, and the buildings that matter are often spread out: a barn or workshop some distance from the house, a second unit, a gate at the end of a long driveway. Distance, more than walls, is usually the main obstacle.
Martin Murphy Sr. bought the surrounding rancho in 1846 and named the settlement for Saint Martin of Tours. It has considered becoming a city since 2004 but remains a rural community of about 7,000 people.
What that means for your Wi-Fi
Barns and workshops far from the house
No access point indoors will reach a barn across a five-acre parcel. We bury cable when the route is reasonable, and set up a point-to-point wireless bridge when it is not.
Winery and farm buildings that need a network
A tasting room, office or equipment shed often needs reliable internet as much as the house does. We give each building a wired access point and bring the cabling back to a small rack.
Cameras at the gate and along the driveway
On rural property the entrance can be out of sight of the house. We install cameras powered over Cat6 at the gate and outbuildings, and connect them to the same network.

Questions about Wi-Fi in San Martin
How do I get internet to a barn on a five-acre San Martin parcel?
With a dedicated link, because no indoor access point will reach a barn across a parcel that size. We bury cable when the route is reasonable, and set up a point-to-point wireless bridge when it is not, then put an access point in the barn.
Can you install cameras at the gate of a rural San Martin property?
Yes. On rural property the entrance is often out of sight of the house. We install cameras powered over Cat6 at the gate and at outbuildings, connect them to the same network as the house, and keep the cabling tidy at both ends.
Can a tasting room or farm office share the house network?
Yes. A tasting room, office or equipment shed often needs dependable internet as much as the house does. We give each building a wired access point and bring the cabling back to a small rack, with a separate guest network for visitors if you want one.
