It’s been a year-long saga for Jim Carrey and his attempts to part ways with his lavish California estate.
Despite slashing its asking price not once, but twice, the Hollywood star finds himself grappling with the challenge of unloading the luxurious property.
It began in February last year when Carrey first put the Los Angeles estate on the market for a staggering $29 million.
Fast forward two months, to that April, a modest $2.4 million reduction was applied — yet no potential buyers emerged from the woodwork.
By October 2023, facing the harsh reality of the market, Carrey dropped the price further to $23.95 million — but the mansion remains unsold.
“In California, the real estate market is experiencing a dry spell. These multi-million dollar properties, if initially priced too high, can linger on the market for an extended period,” a Los Angeles-based broker told The Post.
Carrey himself disclosed that his decision to sell stems from his evolving lifestyle.
“For three decades, it’s been a sanctuary for me, but I don’t spend a lot of time there now, and I want someone else to enjoy it like I have,” Carrey previously told The Post in a statement.
Carrey previously told the Wall Street Journal that this home was “a place of enchantment and inspiration” for him over “30 very creative and prosperous years.”
“Every night the owls sang me lullabies and every morning I sipped my cup of Joe with the hawks and hummingbirds, under a giant grandfather pine,” he said.
The actor’s announcement came amid murmurs of retirement. In an interview with Access Hollywood in 2022, Carrey hinted at the possibility of leaving acting altogether, citing a need for a break unless presented with a script of utmost significance.
The estate, constructed in 1951 and last sold in 1994 for a mere $3.8 million, boasts opulent features spread across its 2-acre expanse.
A modern ranch-style abode, it encompasses 12,700 square feet of living space, featuring a grand living room with high beamed ceilings and French doors leading outside.
The primary suite is a haven of luxury, complete with a tiled fireplace and a private balcony.
The residence also flaunts an Art Deco theater, a lighted tennis court, a waterfall pool and spa, gardens and a guesthouse, among other amenities.
