I think a new house. I've never heard about it before.

Shania and Fred have yet to move in together, but Star seems convinced, they already know where they're going to be settling down.

Didn't a recent article state that the other house she was going to renovate the one in Broye never got renovated as she said her heart wasn't into remodeling it or something to that affect so I am guessing she didn't want to deal with the renovations and the hassle or maybe she was planning on letting Mutt handle all that and then the divorce happened and she didn't want to deal with all the hassle. I guess she's going to settle for one that doesn't need any major fixes so they don't have to bother. Just my thoughts.

Warmest regards as always,

Somebody emailed me the following:
" It is not a new house but the ranch which Shania bought in 2007. All the municipal authorizations were given to Shania who began to make the works do for a transformation. It is called the Mill of Prez."

So I went back into my news archives and found this.

Shania Twain Invests In Sarine

Shania Twain, star world of the music country, bought a property for its horses in Sarine Fribourg

Shania Twain, 42 years, the world diva of the music country, and her husband, Robert Lange, celebrate producing of Bryan Adams, The Corrs and AC/DC in particular, acquired this spring a property of almost 15.000 m2 with Prez-towards-Noréaz, at the bottom of the small valley of Arbogne, in the district of Sarine Fribourg. The site is called the Mill of Prez. It includes/understands a dwelling, rural, a refreshment bar and stables.

It belonged to an old lady, Jacqueline Dafflon. She held to with it a minizoo made up of about thirty horses, dogs, cats and of four spangled, very snuffed families. She had to separate from it since April 15 last bus she had no possibility to transform the places to adapt them to the new standards of detention of the animals.

“I put a small advertisement via an estate agency lausannoise”, Dafflon explains. Shania, the star of the country of Canadian origin, whose fortune was estimated in 2006 at almost a half-milliard of dollars and who sold to his album “Come On Over” to 39 million specimens (the record of the world for a female artist), was allured. “She liked the forest and the proximity of the river”, specifies Jacqueline Dafflon, who says not to be to the current of the celebrity of Shania. “I sold the property for 690.000 frank to her”, Dafflon explains, whereas it is on the point of being established in France, close to Limoges.

A preoccupation with a discretion
The star will be able to install his horses on this ground. Indeed, at the end of 2006, she moved to castle of Sully with Tour-de-Peilz to settle in Corseaux with her husband and their 6 year old son, Eja. It had already tried to build a bed with Tour-de-Peilz but work had been stopped by the Municipality, for lack of adequate authorizations. The new Fribourg purchase of the high-speed motorboat was mentioned in the official Sheet of the canton last on July 6. Acquisition is in the name of her husband, Robert Lange. A preoccupation with a discretion divided by the communal authorities. “We received the order to remain discrete”, confirms Pierre Bovet, the vice-syndic.

The next stage of the project is the setting with the investigation of work. For the time being, only a hedge of trees to the various gasolines was planted to hide the property of the pedestrian way.

The commune of Prez-towards-Noréaz seems to allure the stars since the actress Nastassja Kinski lived there during six months.

Discreet, owned by Prez-to-Noréaz (FR) (15,000 m2 of green) was sold less than 700,000 .- francs last year.

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.

"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."

Seeing as how she bought this place before the divorce and planned on renovating it I wonder if the star just dug up this old information and is trying to pass it off as Shania and Fred planning to marry or move in their and that the house was specifically for that purpose when it was not. This was in the works before the break up so it makes me wonder if the Star is not just trying to make this story up and keep the hype alive to sell papers. It wouldn't matter who she was with this house would still have been hers and she would have still been renovatiing it because it was started before the divorce. Just my thinking and wondering about it as the timing of this is very suspicious.

Warmest regards as always,

I agree with the both of you,Star has nothing more than anybody else.Nobody else is reporting that their getting married or anything else other than the rings.This is just what some of these rags do to sell magazines,take something small and turn it into what ever they want.
