Mr. Carrey said in a statement that the property has served as “a place of enchantment and inspiration” for him over the course of “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 added. “Every night the owls sang me lullabies.” “Every night the owls sang me lullabies.”

Mr. Carrey’s film costumes are displayed in glass cases on the walls of a home theater in the Art Deco style
A significant amount of Mr. Carrey’s character may be found permeating throughout the house. The costumes that Mr. Carrey used in his films are displayed in glass cases on the walls of a custom home cinema designed in the Art Deco style. This home theater also contains mohair-covered sofas, burl wood columns, and a snack area. They consist of a pair of blue overalls from the movie “The Cable Guy” as well as a Santa Claus costume from the movie “The Grinch.” His Riddler suit from “Batman Forever” as well as other of his medals from the MTV Movie & TV Awards are displayed in an adjacent bar area of the venue.
A living room has sloping, beam-and-skylight ceilings
The neutral and subtle look of the home is broken up by dramatic pops of color, some of which are provided by Mr. Carrey’s own artwork. In addition to his career as an actor, Mr. Carrey is also a prolific painter who has achieved fame for his compositions that are bold, graphic, and color-saturated. “Ayla,” a sculpture created by Mr. Carrey, may be found on the lawn. It represents a naked woman looking through the opening of a photo frame. The artwork and personal items are not included in the sale of the house at this time.

The primary living space in the main house features pitched ceilings with exposed beams and skylights. In addition, the living room, the dining room, and the family room each have their own fireplace. The entire residence features French doors that lead out into a sizable courtyard terrace. The master bedroom suite comes complete with its very own sitting area, fireplace, and covered balcony with views of the land.
The kitchen
Mr. Carrey has stated in a statement that the reason he is selling the property is that he does not spend as much time there as he used to. “I want someone else to enjoy it as I have,” he remarked, making a reference to a well-known song by David Bowie called “Ch-ch-ch-changes!”
The principal lavatory
Films such as “The Mask,” “Dumb and Dumber,” and “Liar Liar” brought Mr. Carrey the most fame in his career. In more recent years, he has played the title role in several installments of the “Sonic the Hedgehog” film franchise.
