'I just don't have the strength to run it!' Yolanda Foster sells $27.5m dream home as she recovers from battle with Lyme disease

It was their dream home but Yolanda Foster and her music producer husband David have been forced to put their dream home in Malibu, California, up for sale as she recovers from her battle with Lyme disease.
Although the 50-year-old Dutch television personality and her 64-year-old Canadian musician husband love the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom home, they have listed it with an asking price of $27.5 million because she doesn't have the strength to maintain it.
Speaking to Us Weekly about the beautiful five-acre property, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star said: 'This is our dream home, but due to my battle with Lyme disease for the past two years I just don't have the strength to run this almost five-acre property anymore and should really focus on my recovery with as little stress as possible.'

The star, whose beautiful home was showcased in a December episode when she hosted a dinner party, added: 'My daughter Gigi moved to New York last July and my
Bella will move this July, so it will be just the two of us with my 14-year-old son, Anwar.'
In December 2012, Yolanda told her fans via Twitter that she was being treated for Neuro Borrelia Lyme disease - an illness in which bacteria is spread to people through infected tick bites, resulting in symptoms such as fever, fatigue, depression, and a skin rash.
Severe cases can also affect one's heart and central nervous system, so treatment for the disease is crucial.
The estate was built in 2009 and features gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean, according to a posting on Monday by real estate site Trulia.

The custom refrigerator has its own Twitter fan page with more than 13,000 followers.

'Obviously, this is the most important thing in our home,' she said pointing to David's piano.
The blonde beauty said her 'absolute favourite room of the house' was the kitchen.
'This is where I think family life happens. It's the heart of the house, this is where it beats,' Yolanda said before pointing out her famous refrigerator.
She also showed how a sliding wall opened the interior of the house to an outdoor space next to an infinity pool.
