You know the French-Canadian circus company Cirque du Soleil for its marvelous productions that bring viewers into fantasy worlds with displays of stunning physical feats. But how do the people behind it live away from the spotlights?
Guy Laliberté, the company’s co-founder, has listed his handsome Montreal estate for $9.3 million, The Post has learned — and it’s quite the charmer.
Positioned on the distinguished Maplewood Avenue in the Outremont neighborhood at the base of Mount Royal — for which Montreal gets its name — the property spans more than 13,000 square feet across five meticulously designed levels.
Its stately stone façade and slate roof signal the grandeur that awaits within. An extensive renovation has imbued it with modern elegance.
Featuring 50 rooms, the property includes eight bedrooms and a host of specialized spaces.
It was briefly listed for sale last October for $13.8 million.
The ground floor opens with an entrance hall leading to an office complete with a fireplace, a combined living room and library, and a bright, airy boudoir. A dining room designed for 20 guests adjoins a solarium, while a chef’s kitchen comes with a prep area.
The first floor, accessible via a grand staircase, hosts seven spacious bedrooms.
The top floor is devoted to the master suite, a retreat boasting city and mountain views, cathedral ceilings, dual walk-in closets, a boudoir and an expansive bathroom that features a carved stone bathtub and steam shower.
It’s no surprise the entertainment amenities are robust. The first basement — yes, there are more than one — includes a full bar, a billiards room, a DJ booth, a home cinema, a gym and a 500-bottle wine cellar.
The second basement is equipped with advanced systems including geothermal technology, a generator and home automation.
The outdoor space mirrors the sophistication of the interior.
Highlights include a covered terrace for dining and lounging, a gas-lit fireplace area and a discreet barbeque setup featuring an Argentine grill.
