Description
The Cointreau family property in Anjou
Built between 1928 and 1932 by Louis Cointreau, this remarkable estate rises with elegance above Montreuil-sur-Loir. Overlooking the Loir Valley with a breathtaking 180° view of the Boudré forest, it combines heritage and contemporary comfort thanks to a full renovation completed in 2018 by the sixth generation of the family.
Inspired by a Sologne residence, this manor house features a symmetrical and monumental architecture, blending pink granite, Anjou schist, and reinforced concrete — an audacious combination that gives the property its timeless and unique character.
Behind the grand neo-Gothic glass door, the marble entrance hall leads to a spacious reception room with a monumental fireplace and a 1930s C. Bechstein grand piano, a warm and intimate smoking room, a dining room seating twenty-four guests, along with a convivial bar, a large family kitchen, and its pantry.
An elegant marble staircase leads to the upper floors, where characterful bedrooms and suites follow one another. Among them, the “Nuage” room charms with its painted ceiling, the “Oiseaux” room retains its original wall fabric, while the “Moka” suite — also known as the countess’s chamber — offers generous volumes, a private terrace, and a refined bathroom. The upper levels host additional family and guest bedrooms, some decorated with works by Jean-Adrien Mercier, a renowned poster artist and member of the family. The top floor reveals the original spectacular framework and houses a former artist’s studio, steeped in history and creativity.
At the heart of the estate, the Orangerie bathes in natural light through its large bay windows. This elegant reception space can host up to sixty seated guests or one hundred and twenty-five standing, and opens onto flowered terraces and a landscaped garden — the perfect setting for cocktails and evening receptions, beautifully enhanced at night by festoon lights, leading to the boathouse for
delightful cruises on the Loir.
Another highlight of the property, the vaulted cellar, once filled with prestigious Cointreau liqueurs, now offers a warm and intimate atmosphere, ideal for tastings, private cocktails, or moments of relaxation.
Conceived from the outset as both a family residence and a house of reception, this estate has retained its timeless charm, combining elegance, heritage, and the French art of living. An exceptional property, perfectly suited as a primary residence, a secondary home, or a prestige project.
