Situated on 3.92 acres, the\u00a028,000-square-foot property’s star attraction is a 14,500-square-foot, custom-built, French-Caribbean main house, which features eight bedrooms and eight-and-a-half baths.<\/p>\n

Though she\u00a0got booted from the\u00a0<\/em>Network\u00a0around two years ago after she admitted to\u00a0using\u00a0racial slurs, Deen has\u00a0since had quite the comeback; in fall 2014, she announced the launch of her very own network: an online, subscription-based service that will air Deen and her guests cooking in front of a studio audience.<\/p>\n
