Shania Twain is preparing a ranch in the cozy Broye

PEOPLE | The famous country singer brings to the survey the transformation of the old farm the Moulin de Prez in a ranch "sober and genuine" where recharge.


Futur résidence de Shania Twain
@LAURENT CROTTET | Discreet, owned by Prez-to-Noréaz (FR) (15,000 m2 of green) was sold less than 700,000 .- francs last year.

Christian Aebi | 23.12.2008 |

Requests for authorization are all signed by the business agent Robert Lang, the future ex-husband of Shania Twain. But in fact, it is the multimillionaire star of the Canadian Country in person to oversee the work of the Prez-vers-Noréaz/FR ranch. That is near Payerne, in the bottom of the valley Arbogne that the singer is currently s'aménager cozy nest. A pied-à-terre for the weekend.

Large pond, outdoor pool, winter garden and horse box. The idea is to transform the former mini-zoo of the valley Arbogne in a ranch, "without fuss". The singer, who lives in La Tour-de-Peilz, could afford a few extravagances. She sells millions of albums. And her ex is the producer of AC / DC, Bryan Adams, Foreigner ... In May, the couple announced their divorce.

twain.jpg"Shania much involved in the project of his ranch, said Thomas Bindschedler, close to the star. She chooses simple materials, natural. She wants to give an authentic soul to this place where they can come recharge. "Great friend of animals, the Canadian star, which they say vegan, however, should remain based in the canton of Vaud. Tax, the future ranch should relate to the tax fribourgeois that the property tax.

"A simple ranch"
The property the Moulin de Prez includes a vast pasture and an old farmhouse that once housed a mini-zoo. Patron of Apartment 3, a company based in Champagne near Yverdon, Thomas Bindschedler was responsible for transforming the shattered remains of a cozy place. The main house is occupied by a downstairs living room of 45 m2, a kitchen of 40 m2 and a winter garden of 65 m2. On the floor, only a few pieces. In addition to a paddock, the property will be decorated by 4 to 5 horse box, a swimming pool and a large pond to drain the ground, soaked like a sponge at that point. "Shania wants to make a simple ranch, a place of relaxation. She will mainly come, "says Thomas Bindschedler. The inner transformation is estimated at more than 1 million francs. The investment should be more expensive abroad nearly 1.8 million. Work is scheduled from May to December 2009. Trustee of the village, Gremaud Vincent does not hide his joy.

"It will perhaps talk about our common. But above all, this is a great value of a property with a very environmentally friendly. "

RE: shania is preparing a ranch in Broye


I think they've owned this for a while now.  I like to try and google earth these places to see what they look like and where they are so I can get an idea of where she is and what her surroundings are like.  Her home in Tour de Peliz doesn't have stables for horses.  I wonder where they are kept.  It would have to be near by there.  I was under the impression that Mutt had already bought and renovated a new house with stables but maybe he kept that property for himself and she's redoing this one on her own. 
Just my thoughts.
Warmest regards as always,
Tonto

Shania buying a ranch in Broye


So Shania is staying in Switzerland by the looks of things, which is an indication that her and Frederic are serious about each other and will no doubt settle down eventually. That Halperin guy must have been misinformed about her wanting to get away from the place for good. As for re-locating to New York, maybe this will just be a holiday home?

This place she bought is a ranch for relaxation on the weekend.
The place she will be living is the place she is  living now in Switzerland, her 15 million dolloar place they bought in 2007 on Lake  Geneva as the article stated back in June.
This ranch will also be a place for less than fortunate kids to hang out in the future when it is completed with all the animals.

No he doesn't. If you were around and read the swiss article in June it said that the 15 million dollar place they bought on Lake  Geneva in 2007 is now under Shania's name only, that is the place she lives now.
The ranch was bought last year and it is in Shania's  name only too and she will use it for relaxation on the weekend and in the future for unfortunated kids to hang out.
Also Shania's name is on the title of the New Zealand property and also the mustique carribean mansion and of course her own cabin in Ontario.

Yes you are correct, this place was bought long ago.
There are was also an article about this afte the split where it said Shania will fix up this ranch and use it to ride  horses on the weekend and have unfortunate kids hang out and ride horses.

Also the title should be Shania is preparing a ranch for relaxation and to go on the weekend.
She isn't buying it because the property was bought a long time ago.

Here's the June article about the ranch.

According to a friend of the couple separated, Shania Twain will return to Switzerland


24heures.ch
June 9, 2008
by Philippe Maspoli


24heures-060908.JPG
Shania Twain has sold 70 million albums and ranks second Canadian

The star of country music fled with her family in Canada after announcing that she and her husband divorcing. A relative ensures that she wants to keep her ties to Switzerland, between La Tour-de-Peilz and the Moulin de Prez, Prez-to-Noréaz (FR).

They will both stay, "Thomas Bindschedler, promoter vaudois passion for old houses that transforms into places very chic. This close to the singer Shania Twain, soon 43 years, and Robert John "Mutt" Lange, 59 years, producer of AC / DC and Bryan Adams, is confident the two celebrities who have announced their divorce on May 15 last after fifteen years of marriage, retain their three properties to romandes Prez-to-Noréaz (FR), Blonay and La Tour-de-Peilz.

Thomas Bindschedler had discovered for themselves the Moulin de Prez, the confines of the Broye, an area of 15 000 m2 isolated and bucolic which was a minizoo, bought for 690? 000 francs. "I saw Shania recently, it is she who suffers. She resumed her spirits in Ontario, but she will return. On the much discussed at the Moulin de Prez. Robert Lange had purchased, but it was for her and her horses. Her ex-husband remains on the Riviera Vaud. He made trips to Vancouver, where he worked with a group. "According to the promoter Vaud, Robert Lange intends to continue its relationship with the former secretary and head to Chateau de Sully, La Tour-de-Peilz, where singer and the producer lived from 1998 to 2006.

A Prez-to-Noréaz, the changes will take place as planned. Bindschedler Thomas explains: "As soon as the township has given its green light, development work will begin. There will be a stable for horses Shania. It is a place set aside for moments. This will even be open to the public as camps for children with disabilities take place in them. "

Shania Twain custody La Tour-de-Peilz
Shania Twain and her husband still have a beautiful home with swimming pool located on Lake Geneva at the Tour-de-Peilz (Becque), purchased for 16 million francs in September 2007 after a spell at Corseaux, and " a villa in Blonay, acquired a few months ago the price of two million francs. A La Tour-de-Peilz, significant internal changes are coming to an end. "I saw there is little Mr. Lange on the spot; Shania Twain was at the hotel, "says Frederic Grognuz, municipal finance.

How will spread properties in the future? At the Land Registry, the remains of La Tour-de-Peilz is now inscribed with the name Eilleen Lange (Twain), in other words, Shania Twain, while the act of purchase had been spent by her husband. The latter is however still holds in Blonay. It should therefore see the singer in La Tour-de-Peilz, with a place of relaxation on the ranch Prez-to-Noréaz, and the producer in Blonay and New Zealand, owned by 25 000 m2 acquired 2004.

The hypothesis is supported by the rise of enrollment son of the singer and producer, Eja d'Angelo, who will be 7 years on August 12: A private school located in Vevey. The boy followed his mother in Canada, but the link school is not broken during travel, as Bindschedler Thomas says: "When the family went to New Zealand from December to March, it followed its distance learning courses .

A couple with many success

SALES RECORDS With 70 to 80 million albums sold, Shania Twain ranks second Canadian musicians, behind Celine Dion, Bryan Adams before and Alanis Morissette. Come On Over (1997), with 36 to 39 million copies distributed, holds the record sales for an album by a female artist. All categories, he ranks seventh rank. Shania Twain has yet published, including The Woman In Me (1995, 18 million sales) and Up! (2002, 16 million). A new album has been announced for 2008. On the web, fans play a cover bearing the title Shania, the will of a woman, where the singer is contained in the cow-girl sexy.

GROSS FORTUNE According to the 2007 classification of the 300 richest Swiss magazine Bilan, Shania Twain and Robert Lange have 400 to 500 million francs. They are under a "good" fiscal package in the canton of Vaud. PH. Mr.

Went on google Earth last night and brought up the Chateau de Sully and it said that it was sold to a russian couple back in 2006.  Can't google earth the new place because it doesn't have a name and no address.  From the picture in the tabloids it looks to be right on Lake Geneva.  Does any on have the info on the current house?  I'd like to google earth it and see what it looks like.  The ranch she's fixing up looks to be a couple hours drive from Lake Geneva.
Warmest regards as always,
Tonto

They bought a new place in 2007 on Lake Geneva for 16 million as the article stated. It now has Shania's name on the title land she is sole owner.
So her main  residence is this place in Switzerland. And she is now fiixing up a ranch for her horses and a place for to go for relaxation on the weekend when she wants.

If I understand correctly Mutt signed some documents so that Shania was the oqner of this property. Then it seems they were both the owner before?

I was under the impression that Mutt was already living there alone and that it is his.
Read it in one of the recent gossip articles. Don't know what is true and what's not.

Why does he do anything he does? Remember he doesn't live like the rest of us. He's a little left of center at times from all I've read. He really likes to be isolated. I'm just guessing from what I've read. Maybe he's close to normal like us and doesn't like the fishbowl life. Maybe he's trying to get over Shania and maybe he's regretting not making the effort to try and save what he had. Boy if I were him I'd sure be kicking my own a** all over the countryside no matter what country it was. Ha!!Ha!!

You are coming from a fans perspective though. He does not view her as "Wow, I am married to Shania!" he sees her as a real person, with real faults.

He could be really, really happy that the marriage is over and he does not have to live with her anymore, like a lot of men are after getting a divorce! lol

Fans look at it from a clouded perspective of "oh, she is so pretty! how could he leave her!!"

I am sure after awhile, he was used to her looks and they did not phase him, like most men in marriages!

Maybe she nagged him or annoyed him. I am sure there are plenty of things that she did that irritated him.

I personally do not see him as the regrets kind of a guy. He has always come across as cold and a loner, so I don't think this divorce is really affecting him in the least. And he could get any women that he wants to anyway. With his money and connections.

My guess is he had a whole lot more annoying ways and habits than Shania and she is probably going to be better off living the rest of her life without him.

But with him being a three time loser now no woman is going to consider him much of a catch anymore unless she is after his money and I think he would go for a prenup this time, eh?

I think it is fair to say that they pretty much made their own beds as far as the marriage deal...Lets see ..Where does one start
1/Mutt finds her on a music video..Hmmm
2/After going through woman like there is no tomorrow(at least by others standards),shania not only goes not go to school on that trend, but marries him within SIX MONTHS..Hmm
3/There marriage got started based around music and they allowed it to remain the core of their marriage,even in the early years of Eja's life..Hmmm
4/Even though music was the core of their marriage and Eja did help hold it together,Shania goes into retirement...Hmmm
5/Now doing nothing but pretty much staring looking at each other,and the core of their marriage gone, and eja in school..Well you know.. Hmmm
6/Being board with nothing to do, ...    either mutt,her, or both think it would be great for their marriage to go deeper into isolation......Hmmm
7/Finally holes start to really show within the marriage and based on which rumour you wish to believe,THEY SPLIT,last spring

WOW...Anybody who thinks that this is not a recipe for disaster..Well lets say..You think different than I..Which is cool,and yes you might say many things that might indicate why it should have been able to work.. Lets see what might they be...Shania is rich,Shania is beautiful,other couples are able to make it work in the same circumstances.
Well to that I say,TRUE.....She is rich,beautiful,famous,great child,   BUT needless to say either Mutt,Shania,or BOTH wanted the hell out...Just another statistic for the statitstical divorce charts which last time I looked was still holding around the 50 percent level...Bobby boy

Perhaps he does, or perhaps he does not. Nobody knows but them. I think some fans just look at her beauty and think that she must be so easy to live with and Mutt or any man should just wake up feeling blessed to be next to her and they just spend the day staring at her. Believe me, the looks thing wears off and at the end of the day, she is just another spouse that annoys, nags, and irritates her spouse.


And I think she is going to have a hard time not being with him. She seemed much more dependent on him than the other way around. He had no need to go anywhere with her in public. If he was that crazy about her, he would have gone with her to places.

I agree! Great post.

I think she jumped into marriage because he swept her off her feet by helping her so much with her career. In the beginning he helped buy her career. Yes, she has immense talent, but his money really, really helped her.

Your last sentence is debatable.  He never made public appearances in his whole life.  And there was much press on that aspect of their situation going way back to the beginning.  He abhorred the press and media attention.  He was a recluse in that aspect of his life. 

 

He did go with her behind the scene at times and did much of the pre-sound checks but he always tried to stay out of the limelight.
