The Jim Carrey house story in Maui just took a sharp turn. The actor has listed his Keawakapu Beach estate for $35 million, and the timing alone made headlines.

The listing went live on 29 September, one day before TMZ revealed Carrey had secretly married longtime partner Min Ah. Parade reported the $35 million listing on 7 October 2026, and the property is being sold fully furnished through Blake Hill of Hawaii Life. If tours like this are your thing, our Celebrity Homes collection has many more star properties.

Before anyone joins the dots, here’s the line that matters. No outlet has said the wedding caused the sale, and no reason for selling has been given at all.

Parade states plainly that the listing comes with no stated explanation, and Celebrity Net Worth notes no indication the two are directly connected. What follows is the house itself: a thatched roof estate on nearly an acre of Maui beachfront, bought for $16.5 million in 2016 and now asking more than double that price.

Figures come from the listing and national sale reporting. Every figure in this Jim Carrey house ledger is drawn from those sources, and where reports disagree, the disagreement is flagged in the text.

Who Is Jim Carrey?

Jim Carrey became one of the most bankable stars on earth in 1994, when Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber arrived within months of each other. A Canadian stand-up turned Hollywood headliner, almost overnight.

He won Golden Globes for The Truman Show and Man on the Moon, earned praise for Eternal Sunshine, and later returned as Dr. Robotnik in the Sonic films. In 1996 he became the first actor to command a $20 million upfront salary, for The Cable Guy.

The Maui years show the other side of that career. Carrey has spent the last decade talking openly about a quieter life built on reading, writing, painting and sketching.

In 2018 he described his life in Maui as an isolated life. In 2022 he said he was fairly serious about retiring from acting, adding, “I really like my quiet life.”

Where Does Jim Carrey Live Now?

His map is being redrawn in public. The Jim Carrey house on Keawakapu Beach has been his quiet base since November 2016.

His longtime Brentwood compound is already gone, sold for $17 million in 2024 after nearly thirty years. The Maui listing removes the second anchor.

What comes next has not been confirmed anywhere. The marriage was confirmed by a representative, but the exact date and venue are undisclosed, and no next home has been reported.

We describe neighbourhoods and beaches here, never a street address, and that is on purpose.

Under the Thatched Roof: A Room by Room Walk

Inside the Jim Carrey house, the design idea is simple: the beach is not a view, it is the next room.

The main residence sits under a great thatched roof, framed in Douglas fir and lined in woven bamboo, at a finish level well above typical beachfront construction.

The Great Room That Dissolves Into the Lanai

The great room rises into exposed trusses and opens fully to a covered stone lanai. From interior to lanai to lawn to sand takes only a few steps.

Glass walls fold away and the Pacific sits at the end of the lawn rather than behind a frame.

A Kitchen Built for Two Islands and Long Mornings

The chef’s kitchen keeps the same relaxed language: two large islands, white cabinetry, high-end appliances and windows looking out to greenery.

The Swinging Bed With the Pacific at Its Feet

Upstairs, the primary suite sits under the ridgeline, where glass panels fold back to a deck over the sand. From bed level, the ocean is an immediate physical presence rather than a backdrop.

The suite’s most talked about detail is its swinging bed, hung by ropes near floor-to-ceiling windows, with a private terrace beyond. The bathroom continues the spa language with a statement soaking tub and dual vanities.

The Guest Ohana: Privacy With Its Own Front Door

A second building stands on the far side of the grounds, and it separates this estate from a single big house. The ohana has a separate entry, two bedrooms each with its own bath, and a lanai and balcony facing the sea.

Guests get genuine privacy while both buildings face the same stretch of coastline. Our tour of the Travis Kelce house shows the same thinking in a converted gatehouse cottage.

The Pool, the Grotto, and the Slide

Between the two houses, the pool curves through natural rock, hiding a grotto and a slide, with a shallow ledge for lounging and an elevated spa.

Lawns, Palms, and 170 Feet of Beach

Roughly 170 feet of water frontage lets both structures sit far back behind a wide lawn and a grove of tall coconut palms. That setback defines the estate: rather than perching at the water’s edge, the buildings meet the beach across a generous foreground.

How the Money Moved: Confirmed, Reported, and Still Unclear

The paper trail splits into confirmed and reported parts, and the split matters because the wedding timing invites guessing.

Confirmed. Carrey bought the Maui estate in November 2016 for $16.5 million. The listing asks $35 million, was placed on 29 September 2026, and is handled by Blake Hill of Hawaii Life.

The Brentwood story is also on record: bought in 1994 for $3.8 million, extended in 2000 for $1.7 million, listed in February 2023 at $28.9 million, cut in stages to $26.5 million, $23.95 million, $21.9 million and $19.75 million, and sold for $17 million in 2024. That compound held more than 10,000 square feet, a pool, tennis court, guesthouse, theater, gallery, wine cellar and yoga pavilion.

Reported. TMZ revealed on 30 September 2026 that Carrey had secretly married Min Ah, and reported the Maui listing the next day. A representative confirmed the marriage, and the couple appeared together at the Cesar Awards in Paris in February 2026, where Carrey called Min Ah his sublime companion.

This is his third marriage; he was previously married to Melissa Womer, with whom he shares daughter Jane, and to Lauren Holly. The exact wedding date and venue have not been disclosed.

Still unclear. Why he is selling, and where he goes next. No outlet has given a reason for the sale, and no report ties it to the marriage.

What the $35 Million Actually Covers

Here is what a buyer gets with the Jim Carrey house purchase:

  • The land: about 0.96 acre on Keawakapu Beach, with roughly 170 feet of direct ocean frontage.
  • The main house: 4,717 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, built in 2002 and remodelled in 2018.
  • The architecture: Ike Kligerman Barkley design, thatched roof, Douglas fir, woven bamboo.
  • The living spaces: a great room opening to a stone lanai, a two island kitchen, and a primary suite with a swinging bed and a deck over the sand.
  • The second house: a separate ohana with 2 bedrooms, each with its own bath, plus a lanai and balcony facing the sea.
  • The outdoors: a freeform pool with a grotto, slide, lounging ledge and spa, between lawns and a palm grove.
  • The furniture: offered fully furnished, so much of the tropical interior comes with the purchase.
  • The setting: west facing views to Kaho’olawe and Lanai, and sunsets over the ocean in every season.

Ideas From This House That Work in a Normal Home

Let one material do the talking. Thatch, fir and bamboo repeat through every room, so the house feels calm instead of decorated. In any home, carry one warm natural material through two or three rooms rather than mixing five finishes.

Dissolve one wall, not the whole house. The great room works because one glass wall folds away to the lanai. A sliding door, a wider opening or a covered porch can give a normal living room the same indoor to outdoor feeling without a rebuild.

Give guests a door, not just a bed. The ohana idea scales down to a room with its own door, a small lamp and somewhere to put a bag. Guests remember privacy more than size.

Pick one small luxury and do it properly. A hanging chair on a porch is the swinging bed idea at a normal budget. One finished pleasure beats five half finished projects.

What Comes Next on Keawakapu Beach

Some listings are just prices. This one is a life change: a thirty year Los Angeles chapter closed in 2024, a quiet Maui decade now on the market, and a marriage kept out of the spotlight until the week the for sale sign went up.

The Jim Carrey house decade on Maui may be remembered as the quietest chapter of a loud career.

Whether the next owner keeps the swinging bed, the thatch and the grotto pool intact remains open.
