Hollywood screen legend Jim Carrey has officially brought his private Hawaiian retreat to market, listing his oceanfront compound on the island of Maui for $35 million.
The actor originally secured the coastal estate in 2016 for $16.5 million, more than doubling his entry price a decade later as high-end beachfront inventory across the Hawaiian islands reaches historic scarcity. Set along one of Maui’s most coveted stretches of shoreline, the property is being offered to the market fully furnished, showcasing a refined blend of bohemian luxury, tropical tranquility, and architecture designed around open-air living.
Originally constructed in 2002 and spanning approximately 4,700 square feet (nearly 438 square meters) of interior space, the residence balances organic craftsmanship with modern coastal refinement.
Designed by the acclaimed architectural firm Ike Kligerman Barkley, the home features soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams, wide-plank wood flooring, and extensive floor-to-ceiling glass that blurs the boundary between indoor spaces and covered stone terraces.
- The main residence encompasses three expansive bedroom suites, highlighted by an upstairs primary retreat with folding panoramic glass panels that open directly onto a private ocean-facing lanai. The ensuite bath incorporates a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities, and natural stone finishes.
- The chef’s kitchen is framed in clean white cabinetry, bespoke stone countertops, and high-performance appliances, flowing naturally toward an open dining space anchored by an oversized artisan timber table.
- Enhancing the compound's accommodation is a separate two-bedroom guest residence, each suite featuring its own dedicated bathroom, private lounge area, and independent beachfront lanai for visiting family or staff.
Set on an estate parcel of nearly an acre, the grounds feature approximately 170 feet of direct ocean frontage along the golden sands of Keawakapu Beach.
The exterior grounds are surrounded by manicured emerald lawns, swaying coconut palms, and native specimen trees that ensure complete privacy from neighboring lots. Resort amenities include a freeform stone swimming pool, expansive sun decks, shaded dining verandas, and private footpaths providing immediate access to the water.

Jim Carrey is widely regarded as one of the most transformative, commercially dominant comedic actors in cinematic history. Emerging from stand-up comedy and breakthrough television sketches on Fox’s In Living Color in the early 1990s, Carrey achieved an unprecedented box-office feat in 1994: headlining three consecutive global blockbuster smashes in a single calendar year—Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber.
His signature physical comedy, extraordinary facial elasticity, and irrepressible kinetic energy redefined 1990s comedy, culminating in him becoming the first actor in Hollywood history to secure a landmark $20 million upfront paycheck for 1996’s The Cable Guy.
Beyond broad physical comedy, Carrey earned widespread critical acclaim and international prestige for his dramatic depth:
- The Truman Show (1998): Won the Golden Globe for Best Actor, delivering a poignant critique of media voyeurism and manufactured reality.
- Man on the Moon (1999): Won his second consecutive Golden Globe for his total immersive portrayal of eccentric comedian Andy Kaufman.
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004): Earned a BAFTA nomination for his melancholic, understated performance in Michel Gondry’s cult classic.
In recent years, Carrey has diversified into published authorship, political satire, and fine art painting and sculpture, occasionally returning to blockbusters such as the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise while retreating to private creative enclaves across California and Hawaii.
