About this home
PACIFICA ESTATE is a rare residential offering of cultural, architectural, and academic significance. Originally built in 1924 for philanthropist and industrialist Max Fleischmann, heir to the Fleischmann Yeast fortune, the residence was designed by the renowned firm Johnson, Kaufmann, and Coate. Their vision established a timeless estate that has since evolved into a landmark on California's Central Coast.For more than three decades, the property has been home to Pacifica Graduate Institute under a Conditional Use Permit. The Institute expanded the grounds into a dynamic campus with five administrative buildings, organic orchards, water features, and tranquil gardens. This thoughtful stewardship has preserved the estate's natural beauty while enriching its cultural and educational legacy.Set on 12.22 acres, the estate retains the essence of its original 1,200-acre expanse. Its lush landscape, storied history, and prime location create a foundation of exceptional value. The property's existing infrastructure - multiple structures, vast grounds, and ample parking - offers flexibility for future uses, from continuing the academic tradtiions, creative endeavors to private residential living. For the discerning buyer, future possibilities abound. The estate could be reimagined as a private luxury compound with a primary residence, guest houses, vineyards, orchards, equestrian facilities, pools, and wellness amenities. Alternatively, its academic framework can be adapted "as-is" or thoughtfully reinterpreted. Whether restored to its original grandeur or envisioned through a modern lens, Pacifica Estate presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a significant piece of California's coastal heritage.
