JUPITER ISLAND HOUSE
In June 2005 Celine Dion and her husband and manager Rene Angelil bought a 6,859-square-foot house on 3.7 acres, located in Jupiter Island, a town on the barrier island of Jupiter Island in Martin County, Florida, USA. They paid for this house $12,525,000 dollars. The house is located less than a mile from her previous home in Jupiter, USA wich was sold in 2002.
...> The House
Celine has said she and Rene always dreamed of building a house large enough for their big extended family. In May 2005, Celine´s Canadian firm, Renlec Management, filed paperwork to begin building on a 3.7-acre oceanfront property and in September 2005 Jupiter Island Building Official Jeff Newell said the $3.2 million in new construction was about 80 percent complete. Once the house was finished, the palatial home became is an oasis for Celine and Rene, their children, Rene Charles, and the twins Nelson and Eddy, Rene´s adult children and grandkids, and Celine´s 13 brothers´ and sisters´ families. The property features a titanic home swimming pool in the backyard. It´s an enormous water park which holds more than half a million gallons of water, feature water slides and is about the same size as two 50-meter Olympic-sized swimming pools. The estate also features two guesthouses, an underground garage, two pools, two tennis courts, a pool cabana and a beach cabana containing a small gym. The main residence, a 9,825 square foot two-story structure, has six bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, an elevator and a basement for laundry and staff living quarters.
...> The Inside
The main residence, on the far east portion of the property, is shaped as a three-pronged cross centered around an octagonal-shaped middle area. On the first floor, the octagon includes a living room facing the ocean and separates north and south wings containing bedrooms and a sound-proof TV room. On the second floor, an elevator and staircase lead into a playroom and children´s rooms on the west side and an octagonal-shaped adjacent master suite on the east side. While the suite includes an outdoor spa, wide balconies and three fireplaces, perhaps its most impressive feature is a 460-square-foot master closet that rivals the sleeping area. The house also features a huge and modern kitchen decorated in white with white marbel worktop, and shelves, wall to wall. One of the living rooms, is decorated in white and is furnished with white chairs, and two long sofas. Another living room, is decorated in black and white with a modern style and features on its main wall, a huge picture of Celine, Rene and Rene Charles. The main stairs is next to a wall full of small family pictures. To accommodate her big family, Celine said she designed her kitchen and the main living room with an open floor plan and plenty of seating.
...> The Garden
The property features two pools, and Celine and Rene say the estate allows them to have an adventure in their own backyard. "That space, that lot, that beach, those pools are [for] when we get together as a family, everybody can have a grandiose time with each other", Celine said. "Everybody can soak in". Celine said that designing this home, which includes an outdoor waterfall and waterpark, was a fun and relaxing hobby. "I buy a lot of magazines", she said. "And I have a lot of dream files [of]... the best jewelry, the best homes, best babies, whatever". There´s a beautiful tree house, wich was designed with Celine´s 10-year-old son Rene Charles and her many nieces and nephews in mind. The property also features professional tennis court, which also doubles as a basketball court. Building the home´s large pool and lazy river was a big undertaking and took a long time, Celine said.
...> Old House & Re-Construction
Celine´s Canadian firm, Renlec Management bought the property in June 2005 for $12.5 million. At the time, the land contained a two-story home, two-story guesthouse and a pool, but all the structures were leveled for Celine´s estate.
West Palm Beach Architect Roger P. Janssen´s plans for the new estate reveal tropical-themed architecture with wide verandas and balconies, cupolas atop copper roofs, French doors and white Bahama shutters.
...> Legal Problems
A room in the house was suppose to be an octagon until her architect allegedly said "Her octagon won´t go on". This octagon mess all started to take shape after Celine asked for one room, not a whole house, but just one room, to be octagonal facing the beach. The Delray architect Randall Stofft said no to the ocatagon. She fired him. He put a lien on the house. Now reportedly "Dion´s suing Stofft for allegedly causing delays as long as a year on her $3.2 million home construction. She wanted damages, too, to the tune of a quarter mil. Celine reportedly fired Stofft in 2006, he put a lien on the property claiming she owes him money, but she has paid him $116,502 already.

LAKE LAS VEGAS HOUSE
In 2002 Celine Dion and her husband and manager Rene Angelil bought a house located in Lake Las Vegas, an area built around a lake in Henderson, Nevada, USA. Celine and Rene bought this house to live there with their 2-year-old son Rene Charles during the run of the upcoming residency show "A New Day..." at the Colosseum of the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, USA. In early 2003, when the show "A New Day..." was about to begin, Celine and her family moved to this house located just 17 miles from the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Celine and her family lived there from 2003 to 2007 until the show finally ended, and the family left the house.
...> The House
Celine and Rene paid 1.2 million dollars for this modest house wich features only three bedrooms. "It´s the smallest home we´ve ever had", said Celine. "I can smell the cooking everyday in the kitchen". The house also features a swimming pool, a big kitchen including bar, cameras throughout the house, a play room and all the imaginable comforts. It is near to a golf course. The area Lake Las Vegas includes several hotels and casinos including the Monte Lago Village Resort, the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort, the Ravella and the Casino MonteLago.
...> The Remodeling
Celine and Rene planned to return to this house for the run of the second residency show "Celine" at the Colosseum of the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, USA wich has started on March 15, 2011. Celine decided to change few things, so a remodeling started in the house. But when Celine and her family, now also with the twins, moved to Las Vegas, they stayed at the Caesars Palace. They gave them a beautiful suite and Celine explained that it was her fault the house was not finished yet. "Because it´s my fault, and once I decide to change few things, I changed everything" said Celine. "It would have been faster and easy just turn the house down and built another one".

On the living room, there are Victorian style furniture (all chosen by Thérèse), and pictures on the wall with the 14 children of Thérèse. It also includes a super kitchen with an acces to the solarium. The favourite part of the house of Therese is the big window on beautifull room with a great view to the river (on the back of the house).
