James Cameronis letting go of his California ranch.

The Oscar-winner and his wife, Suzy Amis Cameron, who live most of the year in New Zealand, purchased the home in the late 1990s for $4.3 million — a fraction of its current market value. In the years since, the couple has renovated the home, adding Rocky Mountain quartzite floors and refurbished hardwood.
“The previous owner had a lot of marble,” Cameron told theWall Street Journal. “We brought it back down to something that felt connected to the land.”
The primary bedroom contains a fireplace and wooden canopy bed with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of the outside.
The bright and airy wood-and-glass estate offers impressive views of the ocean and mountains, with rustic wood high vaulted ceilings throughout the home. Mimicking an island oasis, which Cameron described to theWSJas having a “Hawaii resort” vibe, several rooms open up to palm trees, plants, and flowers.

The land has everything anyone could ever need, with two on-site wells for drinking and irrigation water and solar wind and power capabilities — an ode to the couple, who are avid environmental advocates.
The estate also features a gym, movie theater, dual offices, and a game room.
You may not need to leave, but if you do, it is only minutes from the beach, where the father of four revealed to theWSJhe has spent many hours observing marine life.
