It has been a rough couple of months for Celebrity Apprentice contestant and motorcycle customizer Jesse James in the wake of his high-profile divorce from Sandra Bullock. Now the Real Estalker reveals that James seems to be having some trouble unloading a piece of real estate. James quietly put his Sunset Beach, California on the market in May for $6.75 million but now it is listed for $4.995 million. At one point James lived in the home with his now ex-wife Sandra Bullock. James has said he wishes to leave Southern California behind for a little while and settle in Austin, Texas.

James bought the four-bedroom beach house in 2003 when he was still with married to his second wife Janine Lindemulder. The property is right on the beach and on the street side it has a courtyard that offers a modicum of privacy. Listing info states that the home was newly remodeled from the ground up in 2002. It's on a small 40' by 90' corner lot directly on the sands of Sunset Beach.

The two-story residence has a great room with Canterra stone floors, a custom fireplace, dining area and a gourmet kitchen with granite counters,maple cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and Viking stainless appliances.The room overlooks the beach, ocean and a glass-enclosed lanai with pool, grotto, waterfall, and waterslide, surrounded by auto-lighted tiki torches.

The second level includes the master bedroom with a fireplace and master bath with a steam shower and Jacuzzi tub. This level also has a spacious media/game room with a granite wet bar, an office/bedroom with ocean views, and a another guest bedroom. The three car garage has built-in tool wall and space for that extra car or workshop. The home also has a state-of-the-art surveillance system.

The Real Estalker reports that another Sunset Beach property owned by James, a townhouse stuffed with animal print furniture, is also on the market for $1.195 million. Both properties are listed with Chuck Buscemi & Cathy Noonan of First Team Real Estate.

UPDATE: TMZ is reporting that Jesse James has picked a nine-bedroom mansion on seven acres in Austin, Texas. The home is estimated at $1.98 million.
