JUPITER, Fla. (Reuters) - Canadian pop diva Celine Dion's palatial Florida home is up for sale, and the 'king looking for a castle' will have to come up with $20 million to move in.
The mansion in Jupiter, near the swanky resort of Palm Beach, is being sold with furniture and other contents, including china, linens, wine, and art work, said Rob Thomson, a partner with Waterfront Properties and Club Communities, which is handling the sale.
'For a king looking for a castle, they are hard to find, but this one is a castle, it's fabulous,' Thomson enthused on Thursday. 'Everything is really tastefully done ... It's the highest quality house I've ever been in.'
There's plenty of room for one's heart to go on. The home, built four years ago by Dion, 34, and her husband, Rene Angelil, boasts some 15,000 square feet of air-conditioned space as well as landscaped gardens and a pool.
Famed for her smash hit 'My Heart Will Go On,' Dion is one of the world's best-selling pop singers and recently returned to the music scene with her album 'A New Day Has Come,' following a hiatus after the birth of her son last year.
Dion is currently preparing for a three-year series of concerts beginning next March in Las Vegas, under a contract reportedly worth $100 million.
The Florida property is located in a gated community called Admiral's Cove, which features golf courses and a marina with slips for boats up to 130 feet long, and where massive mansions are dotted amid manicured lawns.
Details of the Dion home include sound-proofing in the master bedroom, so a buyer can try hitting the high notes without bothering the neighbors.
The house has been on the market for a couple of days, Thomson said, but gave no details.
