EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Nestled in the lush coastal highlands of Carpinteria, California, just south of Santa Barbara, 249 Lambert Road is a rare estate originally established as a private residential compound in 1924 for philanthropist and industrial magnate Max Fleischmann. Designed by the esteemed firm Johnson, Kaufmann, and Coate, the residence reflects a timeless commitment to excellence and was envisioned as a sanctuary of architectural and natural beauty.
Spanning 13 gracious acres, the estate’s legacy as a private residence is evident in its expansive grounds, stately main house, guest quarters, and tranquil gardens. In 1989, Pacifica Graduate Institute took stewardship of the property, transforming it into a dynamic campus of higher learning with five administrative buildings, organic orchards, water features, and peaceful vignettes throughout.
Today, the estate stands poised for a new chapter—offering unlimited potential to be reimagined as a luxury residential compound once again. Whether restored to its original residential glory or adapted for modern living, this landmark property is uniquely positioned as both a historic estate and a future private retreat at the heart of one of California’s most desirable coastal enclaves. In addition to its residential appeal, the property also offers significant commercial potential, with existing infrastructure and flexible spaces that can accommodate a variety of business, educational, or hospitality uses.
