Wall Street Journal they were letting go of their beloved estate, known as Hollister Ranch, since they spend most of their time in New Zealand.The main house occupies over 8,000-square-feet and comes with five bedrooms and six bathrooms, and is surrounded by various hiking trails.

The estate also contains a 2,000-square-foot guesthouse and a tennis court. There is also a 24,000-square-foot equestrian barn, which Cameron said has been used to store a helicopter and various other vehicles, sometimes working on submarines there for his famous underwater expeditions.Cameron initially purchased the property to find a more rural, agricultural property to escape their Malibu lifestyle. “As you drive along that coastal road, the cares of the world go away,” Cameron told The Journal.

After buying the house, they spent years renovating and remodeling the space. “The previous owner had had a lot of marble,” the director said. “We brought it back down to something that felt connected to the land.”Additional features include a large, lagoon-style pool, surrounded by palm trees, which Cameron described as having “a Hawaiian resort kind of feel to it.” The Camerons now spend most of their days as environmental advocates who founded a Los Angeles “green” school and operate several plant-based food ventures.

At the ranch, they have been growing their own organic foods from their own gardens. They also have several pets on the ranch, including pigs, goats and donkeys.
