Photos: Celine Dion’s opulent mansion is the most expensive home for sale in Quebec
Celine Dion and her husband Rene Angelil have listed their Montreal-area mansion for nearly $29.7 million, making the private island estate the most expensive residential property up for sale in Quebec.

The couple put the custom-built stone mansion on the market Friday because Dion’s “intensive performance schedule” will not give them much time to spend in it, according to the president and CEO of Sotheby’s International Canada, Ross McCredie.

“It took them a long time to make this decision,” he said. “It was a passionate thing for them to make. And in the end, they just haven’t been using it enough… They plan to purchase another home in Montreal that’s much smaller.” (Photos: Courtesy Sotheby’s Real Estate)
