About us

A doorway to genuine connections and moments that come once.

Manoir Blackswan gathers a small circle of people who share a taste for elegance, a respect for tradition and the art of true encounters. From private experiences to members-only evenings, the estate offers a setting where lasting bonds are formed with exceptional people, and where every season brings its share of moments that only come around once.

75

Seventy-five members gathered around a single residence. Enough for every season to feel alive, few enough for every face to be familiar.

What you join

Membership rests on four foundations.

01

The place

The entire estate, with year-round access, thirty minutes from Montreal. The tangible thing, the first reason to come.

02

The calendar

Open houses, signature evenings, intimate dinners, family Sundays. The estate becomes a life, not a vacation rental.

03

The circle

Members chosen for their human quality, their elegance and their ambition. The true luxury of the estate is the people you meet there.

04

The exclusivity

Seventy-five members. A waiting list. The circle grows only as the estate does.

The estate

Where the Cercle takes root.

A 6,500 square foot colonial residence, designed and built by Emmanuel Hébert on half an acre in the historic quarter of Châteauguay. Seven bedrooms, two dining rooms, a chef's kitchen, an in-ground pool and gardens that welcome one hundred guests under the tent, from May to October.

The cohort

Who the Cercle is for.

  • Someone for whom belonging is self-evident, never a calculation. The commitment goes without saying; it is never the subject.
  • Someone with taste, or the person whose table you are glad to share. The true filter, and the character of the cohort.
  • Someone who treats the estate as a place to inhabit, not to exploit. What separates a resident from a customer.
  • Someone who brings something to the cohort, professionally or culturally. The reason the Conseil du Domaine exists.

The walls do not make the estate. The members it gathers do. The principle of the Cercle

Two ways in

The estate opens in two ways.

What we are asked

Frequently asked questions.

You join the Cercle by application, but nothing about it is an anonymous form. An application opens a conversation, then a meeting with the estate. We welcome those who carry ambition and passion, whatever their path. Visionary, creator or explorer, Manoir Blackswan is for anyone seeking rare experiences and true connections. The Conseil du Domaine watches over the character of the cohort; it does not sort fortunes.

Seventy-five members, a fixed ceiling. The first twenty-five are the Founders. The ceiling rises only as the estate itself does.

Year-round access to the estate, the calendar of gatherings, the ability to reserve the estate for your own use, and belonging to a cohort of seventy-five chosen households. Founder rates are fixed for the duration of the membership.

Yes. Weddings remain the only offering open to the public, on a limited number of weekends each year. It is the only occasion when the estate opens beyond its members. See weddings.

The invitation

The founding cohort
gathers this fall.

We are not inviting buyers. We are inviting people who already recognize themselves in what the estate offers. If that is you, write to us. The conversation starts there.
