[KiwiCoromandel]

Actor Nicolas Cage has put his home in the upscale Los Angeles community of Bel-Air on the market for $35 million - five times what he paid for it in 1998, the Los Angeles Times reported today.

The seven-bedroom, 11,000-square-foot Tudor-style home, which was built in 1940, sits just off Sunset Boulevard behind a brick wall. The property includes a two-bedroom guest house.

Extras include a game room, an Olympic-size pool, a theater, a professional projection room and a custom wine cellar.

Homes in that area have appreciated by about 90 per cent over the past eight years, the Times said.

Before Cage, singer Tom Jones owned the home for more than 20 years and Dean Martin lived there before that, the newspaper reported.

Cage won the Academy Award for best actor in "Leaving Las Vegas."
