She's got 2 in Canada, one in Florida, at least one in Vegas....

For sure, she don't have 2 house in Quebec, i know i live here.. She only have the one in Laval.. There's another home in Laval for her mother and i think she sold the old one in Rosemère or give it to someone in his family, but she don't live there for sure.

Besides the one on that island, near Laval, doesn't she own the house and golf course at Le Mirage? I think they still do, they have their parties there.

Celine Dion to build new home on Jupiter Island

By JOE CRANKSHAW

JUPITER ISLAND — Singing sensation Celine Dion, known for the theme song in the movie "Titanic," has begun work on a $3.2 million home on Jupiter Island, officials confirmed Wednesday.

The 9,800 square foot home at 215 South Beach Road will replace a slightly smaller home on the 3.7 acre site, said Jeff Newell, town building official.

Dion and her husband, Rene Angelli, bought the property from F. Morgan and Barabra Taylor for $12.5 million in 2005. The sale was made under the name of their Canadian firm, Renlec Enterprises, Inc.

"They have already torn down the old home and are preparing the ground," Newell said. "They have had all the permit for a few months and have met all our land development regulations."

Newell said the home will have six bedrooms, 40 windows on the beachside and will be shaped like a cross. Other features will include an underground garage for four vehicles, a wine cellar and an office. There will also be a $1.1 million guest house with four suites, a $600,000 beach cabana, parking for 14 vehicles and two Olympic-size swimming pools.

"The underground parking garage is not unique," Newell said. "The last three or four homes we have approved have underground garages. You can do it if you are building on a dune that stands 21 feet above sea level."

Dion, 39, told reporters as early as 2005, that she liked the area because of the quality of the schools in which her 6-year-old son Rene Charles would be educated. She also made the news this week, when her song "You and I" was selected as the theme song for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

The singing star's decision to sell her and her husband's home in Jupiter and move to Jupiter Island is bringing more publicity to a community that has historically tried to avoid the limelight.

Dion is not the only celebrity to select the island as a home, but following golfer Tiger Woods' decision last year to buy a home on the island, the community has received a lot of attention.

Residents — there are now about 700 — managed that by controlling who would be allowed to buy on the island. In the early days, purchase of land was contingent upon acceptance of a member to the Jupiter Island Club. A person might buy land on the island, but would not find a friendly community.

Singer Perry Como, for example, was internationally known and loved, but he couldn't buy on the island and actually lived in Jupiter Inlet Colony in northern Palm Beach County. Como was allowed to play on the town golf course.

"You can't do that anymore," Newell said.

you know your being very harsh on hillary. what is it that scares you about hillary , is it the fact that shes a woman and shes smart.   your from the old school where women shouldnt be in politics and i bet you would never vote for a woman president. well like it or not hillary is not a loser, shes very successful , like Celine as her job as a NY senator. so stop bashing hillary  

[Say What?]

How did the Hillary debate found it's way in this topic??

Everyone has different point of views as it should. So to say things like "so stop bashing hillary" is thesame as asking people to shut up if they don't agree with them. Grow up and agree to disagree.

And I thought Rene-Charles was being home-schooled. I don't see him going to public school. Maybe private school but that'll have to wait until after the 2008 world tour.

  Only when someone keep repeating himself again and again to annoy all others, instead of give his opinion.  And your 60% warning speaks for itself.  

[amelie]

when others repeat theirs you repeat yours its logical, so i don't see why i'm supposed to be the bad guy

they sold it to someone. Celine never felt at home in that house. in interview she once said it is a cold house and that there was not even a spot of spilled milk on the couch. she picture she painted of the house was one of sterility and coldness. i felt very sad for her after listening to her speak about that house. her house in LV is more homey and comfey  and it really shines threw when Celine was putting RC to bed on the floor

She said that before 1999. After that, she spent 2 years there, had her baby there. They just wanted another house, a better and more beautiful one, in an even better location, that's all.

[celinerific]

Sweet mother of all that is good and pure!

Watch... I'll diguise myself as one of her sisters and you know... live there for awhile.
She won't mind.

I drove by her new house location on Jupiter Island about 10 times last month (on different days) because I'm a bit of a stalker (poor Celine when she moves there!) and as can be expected there is a lot of construction going on.  One time I was driving down there we got a really good view because one of the construction trucks was going in so both entrances were open.  I took photos and made videos cos I have nothing better to do with my life. lol

That's a bit over the edge -  a SELF-ADMITTED stalker!!

Céline has also mentioned that they will KEEP the house in Vegas.

You don't know the half of it.  I totally stalk somebody else famous and wait outside their home and it's just a regular house... no gates and take photos.  Kidding.

Celine's not living there yet and I was just curious.  Plus, it's a public road. lol

As Canadian songbird Celine Dion’s five-year gig in Las Vegas ended over the weekend, workers in Jupiter Island were working overtime to make sure her new digs on tony Jupiter Island would be finished on time for her planned move late next summer.

Blueprints filed with the town recently show the 9,800-square-foot, six-bedroom Key West-style beachhome will have 40 first-floor windows facing the ocean and a rare feature in coastal Florida: an honest-to-goodness basement with space for four cars, a wine cellar and giant closets.

The price tag is close to $20 million, including $12.5 million for the 3.7 acres in the dunes, $3.2 for the main cross-shaped home, plus $1.1 for a four-room guesthouse, $600,000 for a cabana and two Olympic-sized pools.

Best Page 2.1 can tell, however, is that the clothesline Dion said she would use to dry her household’s clothes hasn’t been put up just yet.

The French-speaking chanteuse of the Titanic soundtrack isn’t commenting about the construction. But she recently said she’s planning to live on the island full-time and already contacted private schools for son Rene-Charles, 7.

It’s the second time Dion and hubby Rene Angelil will be living in these parts. They once owned a place on the other side of the Intracoastal, in the nearby Admirals Cove in Jupiter.

The golf-crazy singer, meanwhile, will be living up-the-street from Tiger Woods, whose home should be ready a year later.





hahaha Nice to see more of the grounds than the gate and some sand which is what I photographed.  But I also got part of the first building too.
