Shania's home in The Bahamas


Hi guys,

I'm new to this board, like the rest of you, I'm a huge Shania fan. I decided to join this after kind of watching this forum for a few years. Besides the point though, I was looking at some houses in the bahamas that were sale  and it seems like hers could possibly be for sale. I was looking through the images of a home, and thought to myself this house seems somewhat familiar as if I've seen it before, and then she popped up into my head, remembering she lives there. Comparing the pictures she has posted to the pictures of the home, I'm nearly sure it's her house. Now, I don't want to overstep boundaries which is why I didn't post the link to this house, but has this already been discussed? The house has been for sale for a few months at least.

I think to discuss it you should obviously post the link or the pictures.

I agree. It's her house. Especially at 0:52 we can see the room which is also in the picture you mentioned. I wonder why she decided to sell it. I thought she loved the place.

RE: Shania's home in The Bahamas for sale


Shania Twain’s house is up for sale – Man! We feel like moving in

'From this moment on' the house is on the market

By Tamara Kelly | Ideal Home - UK | June 21, 2019

Shania Twain’s home in the Bahamas is up for sale – it’s safe to say, it’s impressed us very much!

The Canadian singer, songwriter and actress’ luxury Bahamas home offers the essence of Island living. Situated on 1 acre of sandy white beach. The house is located in the exclusive gated community of Old Fort Bay.

Arranged over 7,000 square feet, the property provides a calm and intimate atmosphere throughout.

Built in 2004 the plush pad comprises five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a large media room. The property is surrounded by stunning panoramic views of the beach and sea, visible from all of the five bedrooms.

‘Ka-Ching!’ this house is breathtaking. From the balcony stretching the width of the back to the dreamy pool, not forgetting it’s prime location on the beach – it’s a holiday home dream.

It’s exactly the kind of property we’d expect Shania Twain to call home. Dubbed the ‘Queen of Country Pop’ the icon has sold over 100 million records. Making her the best-selling female artist in country music.

Kitchen

The generous kitchen space allows plenty of space for cooking and entertaining. The space opens directly onto the outdoor space to provide the perfect solution for summer soirees.

Living room

High ceilings, plenty of windows and white washed walls make this room an airy vision of delight. With a stern nod to a coastal theme the room features shades of aqua and sea blue, teamed with reclaimed wood furniture pieces.

A large natural textured rug helps to add texture to the contemporary tiled floor.

Shania Twain's house dining room

The dining room opens directly out onto the terrace dining area. We can’t imagine this room wins in favour over the outdoor dining area in the Bahamas heat – but it’s a well-appointed space all the same.

Master bedroom

The master suite features a quirky round design element. Complete with its own private balcony over looking the pool and sea beyond.

Outdoors

The house boast a sheltered dinging area, ideal for lunchtimes to escape the glare of the sun. The reclaimed wooden table and natural woven chairs add the perfcet nautical touch to enhance the setting.

How’s that for a view. The beachside property offers exquisite ocean views from the immaculately kept gardens. The pool and plunge-pool are framed by a number of classic poolside seats – from loungers to classic Adirondack chairs.

The outdoor space also features a seating area under a sheltered gazebo structure. The perfect retreat at the height of daytime sun.

The incredible house is on the market with agents Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty, with a guide price of $10,950,000.

This luxurious home is still the one she lives in, until sold.

We’d happily call this home, ‘Forever and Always’.

Shania Twain’s Home in the Bahamas (Video Tour)

Country Fancast | April 15, 2020

Shania Twain’s home in the Bahamas has one acre of pristine white sand beach and has amazing views of the emerald green and turquoise water.  Canadian country music superstar Shania Twain has been in the music industry since the early 1990s. During her career, the 54-year-old talent (born August 28, 1965) has sold over 100 million records, making her the best-selling female artist in the history of country music and one of the best-selling artists of all time.  Shania and her second husband Frédéric Thiébaud have multiple houses.  They mostly reside in the town of Corseaux, Switzerland, which overlooks Lake Geneva.  Shania has owned her home in the Bahamas for many years and clearly loves this destination to recharge and to escape for sunshine and pristine beaches.  Watch the video tour of Shania’s home in the Bahamas and see additional details and photos below.

Look Inside Shania Twain's Luxurious Bahamas Mansion [PICTURES]

By Sterling Whitaker | Taste of Country | September 12, 2020

When Shania Twain wants to get away from it all, she does it in impeccable style. She and her husband, Frédéric Thiébaud, own a spectacular waterfront mansion in the Bahamas that offers plenty of time away from prying eyes.

The couple's 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom, 7,000-square-foot mansion in the Bahamas is situated on a 1-acre lot that offers 150 feet of beachfront.

According to a listing, the luxurious home sits in the exclusive Old Fort Bay gated community in West Nassau. Its amenities include mahogany-lined walls and bookcases in the second-floor master suite, as well as spectacular ocean views.

The house also includes guest bedrooms with views of the beach and the canal, as well as a kitchen with a breakfast nook, butler's pantry and stainless steel appliances. That leads out to a covered outdoor patio and an access gate to the beach.

The luxury home's exterior amenities include a pool house with bathroom and shower facilities. There's also a guest apartment, a laundry room and a generator with an auto transfer switch. The property also offers the use of a dock slip that can accommodate a 40-foot boat.

According to Country Fancast, Twain listed the Bahamas property for $10.95 million in 2019. That listing has since been removed, but a current listing with Martina Reichardt at MyBahamasRealtor.com asks $12,900,000 ($12.9 million) for the exclusive property.

THE HOUSE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN TORN DOWN!

I was in Nassau, Bahamas recently waiting on a delayed flight.  I recalled that Shania had a house on the island and that it had been for sale.  A quick check showed several stories about it over the years but no indication that she had actually sold it.  I noticed on Google Maps that there were a few empty lots on the beachfront of the Old Fort Bay neighborhood where the house is located.  If you look carefully at the video posted at the top of this thread, you will notice that her house is next to a house with a orangish colored tile roof.  Also, note other things like the shape of the pool and location of the hot tub next to it.  Compare all of that to the picture on Google Maps satellite view (which is a very recent picture) and you will see that the house is no longer there!  Feel free to double check me, but there definitely was a house on that lot which was torn down.  If you go on Google Earth, that allows you to look at past satellite pictures (click the view tab, then select historical imagery).  Going back through the views of the house, it appears that in September of 2021 the tear down began with the removal of paved parking areas and the driveway.  There are no new pictures in 2022 or 2023.  However, the latest picture from June of 2024 shows the house is completely gone and the lot empty!  If you go way back to 2003, there is no house there and the lot is full of trees and brush.  In 2004, the house first appears in the satellite photos which is consistent with when Shania had the place built.

So this brings up a bunch of questions.  First of all, look at the videos and pictures above.  Who tears down such a beautiful, 20 year old house?  Did Shania sell it very privately to someone (with ridiculous amounts of money) that made no mention of intending to tear it down to build something "to their own liking," only to be blindsided after the sale?  I doubt a buyer would have any legal obligation to state such an intention.  Notice also that the empty lot next to it also appears to have activity going on.  Some kind of structure appears to have been built.  It makes me wonder if somebody bought her house and the empty lot next to it with plans for something much grander in scale.  It certainly seems like a tremendous waste of resources.  A bit hard to fathom.  About the only sensible thing is if the "money is no object" buyer wants to build an elevated house that could handle the storm surge from a bad hurricane hit.  The house as it was originally built would likely flood with a significant storm surge.

Please check my work.  If I'm right, it will be interesting to see if she ever has any comment about what happened to her 20 year old custom built beachfront home!

Sadly it is quite common for people to buy homes and tear them down 😟
