Jim Carrey is saying goodbye to Los Angeles, putting his longtime home of 30 years up for sale.

“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. “Cha cha cha cha … Changes!” he added, in reference to the iconic David Bowie song.

The Canadian-born comedian — best known for his comedic roles in Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, and The Truman Show — purchased the five-bedroom, nine-bathroom estate in 1994 for $3.8m, property records show.

Spanning more than 1180 sqm, the massive property has hit the market for $28.9m (AU$41.8m).

Carrey told the Wall Street Journal 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.”

Sitting on two acres, the sprawling one-level ranch home is set behind more than 85m of hedged frontage in affluent Brentwood, the listing notes.

The living, dining and family rooms boast fireplaces with beamed ceilings and skylights. Glass doors open to a courtyard patio for indoor-outdoor living and optimal sunlight.
