Celine's Private Island!
Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleLike most of us, Celine loves being on the water. Unlike most of us, she can afford to be on it wherever she chooses. In her native Canada, on a private island in the lazy Mille ÎlesRiver in Quebec, is where Celine and Rene have their amazing stone French chateau, which they have just put on the market. Due to Rene’s tireless effort as her manager, and Celine’s exhausting strive for perfection, her miraculous voice is recognized the world over. With her Las Vegas shows, film theme songs and record sales, she is one of the world’s highest paid artists, so she and her family can easily afford any home they wish to have. Many of her dollars have been put into this spectacular Quebec property.
The island estate is entered via a private bridge with a security station, and the entire island is carefully fenced to deter overexuberant fans. The closest the public can get is by taking a tour boat up the river and gawking from a healthy distance. Île Gagnon is almost 20 acres of pure privacy and the manicured grounds around the 24,000sf mansion have enough land to include a helipad should one be so inclined. Of course the grounds and gardens also contain a pool and pool house and plenty of woods to explore in the more rugged parts of the island. For those requiring a mega mansion rich with traditional details, this home will certainly meet the need. Literally dripping with elegant fabrics, textures, deeply carved millwork and masterfully crafted fireplace surrounds, built-ins and custom wrought iron, the quality would be hard to surpass. The home sells furnished including art work with the exception of some antiques the family will keep. Built in 2001, the main level has formal living and dining rooms, family room, paneled library, family dining, office, sun room and a kitchen so incredible, you will be staring in disbelief. The second level houses the master suites and children’s suites and the third level has a guest room and gym. Taking the elevator down to the lower level, there you will find a large game room and a wine cellar-tasting room with barrel stone ceiling and enough room to host a crowd. Views of the river and natural landscape are dramatic from every window.
Celine and Rene’s lavish Quebec island home only 15 minutes to Montreal. Priced at $29,655,500.
