Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is giving away his £3m Cotswolds estate.
The decision to hand over ownership of the property to his sons-in-law comes after the experience.
Mr Llewelyn-Bowen has decided not to remain in charge of the estate, which he shares with his wife Jackie.
The estate is also home to his 27-year-old daughter Hermione and her partner, while his 30-year-old daughter Cecile lives nearby with her husband and two children.
Speaking to GloucestershireLive, Mr Llewelyn-Bowen explained the thinking behind the decision to divide ownership of the estate among the three households.
He said: "What we have done with all three households is we all own it, which I thought was a really important moment.
"Logistically, it means that we’re all responsible for it, which makes a lot of sense.
"It’s their home alongside us; we all have a mutual relationship, and I think that’s very important."
He said the move came about because he did not want to be the "guy who pays for everything" while others felt like lodgers.
Instead, the arrangement means everyone involved shares both the responsibilities and the benefits of the home.
Mr Llewelyn-Bowen said: "We all have to step in for it.
He said that his daughters and their partners are not simply staying there as guests.
The TV presenter admitted some have questioned the arrangement, but he stands by the decision.

Mr Llewelyn-Bowen said: "I think it’s a much more sensible way of doing it.
"It means you’ve got to trust who you’re living with and you’ve got to be really committed to that, but surely that’s what families should be about; they should be about trust and commitment."
He also emphasised that the estate is just as much his daughters’ as it is their husbands’.
Mr Llewelyn-Bowen said: "They are my sons; they are the fathers of my grandchildren, and they’ve got very good taste to love and adore my daughters."
