You'd be forgiven for thinking that singer Celine Dion's Normandy-style château dates back to the French Revolution. Not so. On the market for £16.2 million, this handsome four-storey palace was built only 13 years ago, in 2001. And while it does stand on an island, it is in the middle not of the River Loire, but of the River Mille Iles in Quebec.

Mind you, it is a private island (Ile Gagnon) that you have to cross a gated bridge to enter, and while the house itself is big, at 24,000 square, the rest of the grounds are grassy and forested and measure 830,000 square feet. Naturally, there are security arrangements in place, to deter the more over-devoted fans.
Inside, the house has six bedrooms, a panelled library, a vaulted wine cellar and a dining room that sits 18. There's also a gym, a games room, and, outside, a pool and pool house equipped with its own kitchen. Many of the floors are made of either marble or wood. This offers the home's new owners the chance to hear their voices reverberate in the same way as the celebrated Canadian songbird's probably does at present.
