249 Lambert Rd

Nestled in the lush coastal highlands of Carpinteria, California, just south of Santa Barbara, 249 Lambert Road is a rare estate of cultural, academic and architectural significance.

Originally built in 1924 for philanthropist and industrial magnate Max Fleischmann, heir to the Fleischmann Yeast fortune, the residence was designed by the esteemed firm Johnson, Kaufmann, and Coate, reflecting their timeless commitment to excellence. A century later, under the profound stewardship of Pacifica Graduate Institute, the estate has transformed into a dynamic campus of higher learning with five administrative buildings, organic producing orchards, lush gardens, water features, paths and tranquil vignettes throughout the property.

Steeped in a rich, storied legacy, this approx. 13-acre estate spans gracious land—and generations—and now sits poised for a future of endless possibilities. With unlimited potential as both a residential and commercial opportunity, this landmark property is well-positioned as a unique, exceptional asset situated at the heart of one of California’s most desirable coastal enclaves.
