Jim Carrey has slashed the price of his Los Angeles estate to $US18.75 million ($A28.8 million), cutting another $US1 million ($A1.5 million) after a deal fell through.
The “Batman Forever” star first listed his Brentwood residence in February 2023 for a staggering $US29 million ($A45.5 million), the New York Post reports.
During that time, the 63-year-old actor knocked off the price of the mansion multiple times, first to $US26.5 million ($A41.8 million), then to $US23.95 million ($A37.8 million), and again to $US21.9 million ($A34.5 million) in May 2024.
In September 2024, the “In Living Color” alum reduced the asking price to $US19.75 million ($A31.1 million), an “almighty” discount from his original goal.
That transaction ultimately fell through, and the property returned to market in February, according to Mansion Global.

Located along North Tigertail Canyon Road, the roughly 2-acre spread includes a modernised mid-century ranch house built in 1951.
The mansion features five bedrooms, a curved sunroom and an Art Deco-inspired theatre.
Outdoor amenities include a pool with a waterfall, a guesthouse, a tennis court, and a stand-alone structure dedicated to yoga and meditation.
Carrey acquired the home in 1994, during the peak of his rise to Hollywood stardom.
He emerged as a comedy icon in the mid-1990s with blockbuster hits like “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” “Dumb and Dumber” and “The Mask,” and later earned critical acclaim — and two Golden Globes — for his dramatic turns in “The Truman Show” and “Man on the Moon.”

The property narrowly avoided direct impact from the January wildfires in nearby Mandeville Canyon but was close enough to prompt evacuation.
Real estate professionals in the area say the fires contributed to a wave of insurance and financing uncertainties, with some pending sales, including Carrey’s, falling apart amid the heightened risk.
Carrey previously said he was letting go of the residence simply because he no longer spends much time there.
His real estate agent, Graham J. Larson of Sotheby’s International Realty, declined to comment.
