Jim Carrey offloaded his sprawling Brentwood home at a major discount.
The 63-year-old actor’s home of more than two decades finally left the market last week at $17 million, the Real Deal reported. The deal came after more than two years of million-dollar price cuts and one failed sale during California’s most recent wildfire season.
Carrey’s compound was first listed for $28.9 million in early 2023. The “Dumb and Dumber” star previously said he no longer spent much time at the 2-acre residence.

Despite the steep price cuts and losses incurred by Los Angeles’ steep “mansion tax,” Carrey still made a nice profit on his longtime home. The comedic actor dropped $3.8 million on the property in 1994. His purchase came on the heels of his breakout success in “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” along with “Dumb and Dumber” and “The Mask” — all released that same year. And hits like “Liar Liar” and “The Truman Show” would soon follow.
The 1950s-era home is located in Brentwood, one of Los Angeles’ most desirable neighborhoods. It boasts a mid-century style with modernized amenities, including a tennis court, a waterfall pool, a yoga and meditation area and an Art Deco movie theater — popcorn concession included.
The 11,000-square-foot abode encompasses a total of five bedrooms and nine bathrooms, as well as six fireplaces.

The home went under contract at an already-discounted $19.8 million asking price, but the deal didn’t pan out. It is possible that negotiations were affected by the growing threat of wildfires at the time.
Carrey’s Brentwood home narrowly avoided a direct hit from the fires that blazed through Los Angeles in January.
The roughly two-and-a-half-year sale comes at an uncertain period for Carrey’s career. The actor recently starred as Dr. Robotnik in “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” but has been open about his tentative plans for retirement from Hollywood.
Graham Larson of Sotheby’s International Realty represented Carrey in the sale, the Real Deal reported. The as-yet unknown buyer was repped by Sam Collins, David Parnes and James Harris and Carolwood.
