Living in Pine Mountain Club

An Elevated Lifestyle in the Frazier-Tejon Highlands

Tucked away in the Frazier-Tejon Highlands, Pine Mountain Club (PMC) offers a rare blend of mountain serenity and community charm. Situated within the Los Padres National Forest, PMC provides residents and visitors with a peaceful escape surrounded by rugged peaks, tall pines, and star-filled skies.

A Nature-Infused Community

Founded in the early 1970s and spanning more than 16 square miles, Pine Mountain Club is a private mountain village designed for those who crave natural beauty without sacrificing modern comfort. Managed by the Pine Mountain Club Property Owners Association (PMCPOA), the community maintains roads, security, snow removal, and a wide range of recreational amenities.

Amenities and Mountain Lifestyle

PMC offers an impressive range of facilities for such a small, tight-knit community:

Private 9-hole golf course surrounded by mountain views
Recreation center with a seasonal pool, tennis courts, basketball, and bocce
Clubhouse with lounge, bistro, and events space
Equestrian center and miles of riding and hiking trails
Village commercial center with shops, restaurants, and essential services

The area supports both full-time residents and second-home owners, drawn to the blend of clean air, four-season living, and easy access to outdoor adventure.

Events and Culture

Pine Mountain Club is known for its welcoming spirit. Events like the Lilac Festival, Wine in the Pines, and local holiday celebrations are staples of the year. These gatherings help foster a strong sense of community, making newcomers feel like longtime neighbors.

Living Here: A High-Country Lifestyle

With roughly 2,400 full-time residents, PMC is a close-knit, self-reliant village with the vibe of a rustic resort town. Children living in PMC attend schools in the El Tejon Unified School District, including nearby Frazier Mountain High School. There’s also Peak to Peak Mountain Charter School for grades K–7.

Homes here range from cozy cabins to modern chalets, many with panoramic views, and nearly all with access to the forest right outside their doors.
