Quits Hollywood: Jim Carrey Leaving La Home Of 30 Years For Nearly $29 Million, Says He’s Ready For ‘Changes’

Jim Carrey is saying goodbye to his longtime Los Angeles home.

“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, 61, told The Post in a statement. “Cha cha cha cha … Changes!” he added, referencing the iconic David Bowie song.

The Canadian-born comedian — long known for his role in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” — purchased the five-bedroom, nine-bathroom estate in 1994 for $3.8 million, or $7.71 million today, records obtained by The Post show. Spanning more than 12,700 square feet, the massive property has hit the market for $28.9 million.

Carrey told the Wall Street Journal, which was first to report on the listing, that the 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.

Carrey purchased the home right before the release of his first major movie hit, “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.”
