Here’s a chance to own Paula Deen’s home. The most significant offering in Savannah, Georgia, this estate ($12,500,000) is aptly named “Riverbend” for its panoramic views over the Wilmington River. This world-class property is sited on a high bluff and comprises 5.5 acres with 300 feet of water frontage. Private and secluded, the estate is accessed through a secured gated entrance with a beautiful drive enhanced with lush landscaping. This magnificent custom-built property hosts a French Caribbean style main house spanning more than 14,500 square feet, which includes a state-of-the art gourmet kitchen with commercial grade appliances, a beautiful English pantry, and an aviary; a study with a saltwater aquarium; and a dramatic living room, which overlooks the outside covered terraces and river views. The master suite also features a large bathroom with a sitting area, French doors to a private terrace, dressing room, and custom walk-in closet. Additional highlights of the spectacular main house include an incredible outdoor kitchen with three grills, four refrigerators, and a smoker; a pool with a dive-in theater and pool room; an exercise room; a media room with a movie screen, projector, soda fountain, and ice maker; and beautiful guest quarters. Within the compound are two guest cottages, a 10,000-square-foot barn with an eight-car garage and three-bedroom apartment; a croquet court; and a stocked pond complemented by a dock and charming dock house. While this property is on public water and power, it also includes an emergency 75,000-Watt generator and 500-gallon back-up propane tank. This unique offering is truly its own private resort.
