The Los Angeles compound that has been home to comic actor and writer Jim Carrey for decades popped up on the city’s real estate radar recently. Carrey has owned the 2-acre estate in Brentwood for about thirty years; he listed it in the first week of the month with a $28.9 million asking price.

The property’s centerpiece is a ranch house that originally went up in 1951. One would imagine that additions have been many, because it breaks into a second level on occasion, coils back on itself in a U-shape to nearly create an entirely sheltered courtyard, and constitutes one whopping great footprint. A detached guest house at a judicious remove brings the accommodations total to five bedrooms and eight baths across 12,704 sq. ft. of interiors.

Amenities include a fireplace master bedroom, a delightfully woody master bath with a fireplace and parquet floor, a theater and entertainment space with a deco-inspired wet bar, an office, and a solarium dayroom. Materials and architectural details include midcentury-style vaulted skylight ceilings, fireplaces a-plenty, and hardwood and polished brick floors.

A red brick walk and privacy wall inset with double doors provides the preamble to the property; beyond it the estate opens up majestically and unfurls across a romantic garden of lawns, mature trees, and tropical and Asian landscaping, with patios, a forested walkway, a tennis court, a stone-bordered swimming pool with a waterfall, a gazebo purposed as an outdoor billiards room, and a secluded covered sleeping platform appearing by turn.

Legal newshound and NBC A.M. figurehead Savannah Guthrie listed her lower Manhattan residence for sale on the open market this winter. The condo unit, one of a baker’s dozen in a 2016-built boutique building in the gilded neighborhood of Tribeca, appeared with an asking price of $7.1 million.

The townhouse-sized building features an exterior in stacked bluestone, which gives it a suggestion of both the prehistoric and the contemporary; upper-level massing and balcony design drives home the conceit. The structure should tickle the curiosity of the architectural design hounds unfamiliar with it just as readily as it conjures the mycological memories of the experienced.

The unit is a full-floor loft with 11-foot ceilings throughout. It contains four bedrooms and four full or partial baths across 3,735 sq. ft. of interiors. The great room offers a nearly fifty-foot array of glass picture windows, and is divided from the unit’s dining room by a wall of multi-pane glass panels and sliding doors, a design element that brings a sophisticated breeziness to the living style.

The size of the unit allows for a generously proportioned master suite. The room series is a linear progression, with the bedroom transitioning to a dressing room with multiple closets, a bath, and finally a home office.

The Los Angeles-area estate of actress Leah Remini is back for the New Year. The King of Queens star initially listed the property last autumn. At present, the 2001-built mixed architectural is tagged at $12.995 million.

With 10,100 sq. ft. of interior living area and 1.58 acres of grounds, the estate is generously proportioned. The house dates to 2001, and features exterior architecture inspired by English and Mediterranean styles. Vine-clad in spots and sporting a roofline that vaguely suggests Storybook but is finished in tile, as well as an entry that hints at Classicism and a rear roof peak and upper level balcony that suggest Alpine, the home is a bit of an architectural pastiche.

The interiors are as varied, and as engaging. Details include interior French doors with ornate panels, casement windows with fanlights, fireplaces, built-in bookshelves, LED accent lighting, and vaulted and tray ceilings. Fireplaces, gloss- and matte-finished hardwood, and recessed and pendant light fixtures also contribute to the living style.

The home’s specialty spaces include a formal dining room with one wall finished in mirrored panels, as well as a billiard room. A detached guest house on the property has been purposed as a dance studio during Remini’s ownership tenure. The grounds are quite sylvan, with mature trees forming a natural boundary that suggests forest; a walking path ambles to the centerpiece of the exterior, a kidney-shaped pool overlooking Studio City.

Remini currently hosts People Puzzler on Game Show Network.

Japan’s Geothermal Hot Springs Are Perfect Bliss

The northernmost Japanese island of Hokkaido might be most famous for its hot springs, or onsen, but the whole archipelago is home to volcanos. That means there’s no shortage of the cleansing, mineral-enriched baths that occur in their vicinity, made soothing and steamy by the earth’s molten mantle. Hot springs abound around Japan’s most iconic volcano—Mount Fuji—located right in the middle of the main island of Honshu.

List Sotheby’s International Realty, Japan

On the southern coast of Honshu, the seaside city of Shizuoka is known for boasting some of the best views of Mt. Fuji—and the proximity of breathtaking crags, plateaus, forests, and beaches are simply an added bonus. This home, with its tranquil setting and traditional architecture, affords access to all of it.

Arizona Furnishes a Pure, Elemental Experience

Between the dazzling sun and the parched earth, the desert air and the crystal water, Arizona is an intense conflux of natural forces—which is why it’s such an epicenter for health-centric tourism. Bejeweled with its own geothermal springs, it also offers epic, monumental landscapes: stunning stone monoliths that tower, cathedral-like, over wide gullies, and plains grown over with saguaro cactuses.

Several golf courses can be seen from the patio of this gorgeous contemporary estate poised on the slopes of Lone Mountain.

India Is Home to the Original Wellness Innovators

Many of the most popular wellness practices can be traced back to Ayurveda, the ancient system of healing and medicine that has been honed in India for more than three millennia. It’s to be expected that wellness aficionados would be drawn magnetically to this birthplace of naturalistic therapies, and the opulent, prosperous state of Goa has proven to be a top-rated site. Ayurvedic centers and yoga retreats have become a hallmark of its sultry jungles, breathtaking beaches, and vibrant, bohemian villages.

Turks and Caicos Offers a Spa Life Like No Other

Swathed in the bright blue of the Caribbean Sea, the tropical archipelago of Turks and Caicos is a wellness hub that has elevated relaxation to an art form. Providenciales, or “Provo” as it’s affectionately nicknamed, is the most populous island in the chain, beloved by visitors for its luxurious hotels, spectacular beachfront condos, and views of migrating humpback whales and other marine marvels that traverse its turquoise waters.
