Jim Carrey Maui mansion has hit the market for $35 million, putting one of the actor’s most private retreats up for sale just days after he married longtime partner Min Ah.
Carrey bought the waterfront estate in 2016 for $16.5 million, according to property records cited in the listing coverage. The new asking price is more than double what he paid a decade ago, reflecting both the property’s rare location and the premium attached to nearly an acre of oceanfront land on Keawakapu Beach.
The timing makes the listing especially notable. Carrey has spent years talking about his preference for a quieter life away from Hollywood, and Hawaii has often been part of that picture. Wowplus recently covered Jim Carrey’s marriage to Min Ah, so the property sale now looks like another major personal transition arriving at almost the same moment.
A $35 million listing with rare ocean frontage
The estate sits where South Kihei Road ends and Wailea begins, with roughly 170 feet of ocean frontage. That gives the home direct access to one of Maui’s most desirable stretches of coastline while still leaving enough space for a large lawn, coconut palms and privacy from the road.
According to Realtor, the three-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence spans about 4,717 square feet and was designed to blend indoor and outdoor living. The property is being offered fully furnished and has been described in the listing as a “bohemian luxury unicorn.”
The great room rises to exposed trusses and opens to a covered stone lanai, creating a direct visual connection between the interiors and the ocean. Large windows and open spaces keep the atmosphere light rather than formal, which fits the kind of relaxed island life Carrey has described in interviews.
The kitchen has two islands, white cabinetry and high-end appliances. The primary suite includes a swinging bed and floor-to-ceiling windows, while the bathroom features a statement soaking tub and dual vanities.
The outdoor spaces make the property feel like a resort
Outside, the house becomes even more distinctive. A freeform pool curves through natural rock and includes a grotto, slide, shallow lounging ledge and elevated spa. The setting is designed to feel private without separating residents from the surrounding landscape.
The estate was designed by architecture firm Ike Kligerman Barkley, known for high-end residential projects that combine strong architectural identity with regional materials. On Maui, that means broad openings, stone surfaces and layouts built around climate and views.
Carrey’s decision to sell comes after years of gradually reducing his real-estate footprint. Wowplus has also examined how Jim Carrey built his Hollywood fortune, and real estate has been one of the quieter assets around that wealth.
His longtime Brentwood home, purchased in 1994, eventually sold for $17 million after several price reductions. The Hawaii listing suggests he is continuing to simplify a portfolio that once reflected decades of major Hollywood earnings.
Why the Maui home mattered to Carrey
Carrey has repeatedly described Hawaii as a place where he could live differently from the way he did in Los Angeles. He has spoken about reading, writing, painting and spending long periods alone, activities that fit the slower rhythm of a private oceanfront retreat.
That lifestyle became more important as he stepped back from constant acting work. In 2022, he said he was seriously considering retirement because he felt satisfied with what he had accomplished and wanted more time for painting and spiritual life.
Wowplus previously covered stars who stepped away from Hollywood, and Carrey’s own comments have often placed him near that conversation even though he has continued to return for selected projects.
His Maui property made that retreat tangible. It was not just a vacation home but part of the private life he described when explaining why he no longer felt driven by the same career pace.
The listing arrives just after his wedding
The timing naturally invites questions about whether marriage influenced the sale, but there is no confirmed evidence that the two decisions are directly connected. Carrey and Min Ah married in a private Los Angeles ceremony in late September after keeping most of their relationship out of the spotlight.
What can be said is that both developments signal change. Marriage creates a new family chapter, while selling a property that has represented solitude and island living for a decade suggests Carrey is reassessing where and how he wants to spend his time.
The home’s asking price also reflects how much value the property has gained during his ownership. If it sells near $35 million, the price would represent a substantial increase over the $16.5 million he paid in 2016, although transaction costs and any improvements would affect the actual return.
What buyers get for $35 million
Luxury buyers are not only paying for square footage. The strongest selling point is the land itself: nearly an acre on Keawakapu Beach with extensive ocean frontage, mature landscaping and a residence positioned far enough back to feel secluded.
The fully furnished sale adds convenience for a buyer who wants a turnkey property, while the pool, spa, grotto and direct beach setting push the estate into true resort territory.
For Carrey, however, the listing is likely to attract attention because the house represented a very specific period of his life. It was the place associated with a quieter version of the actor, one less interested in Hollywood schedules and more focused on art, solitude and family.
The Jim Carrey Maui mansion is now being marketed as an exceptional piece of oceanfront real estate. Whether the final sale reaches the full $35 million remains to be seen, but the listing itself closes another chapter in the actor’s long move away from the lifestyle that once defined his Hollywood peak.
