The Monk's House: A Characterful Residence Dating from 1852 in the Heart of Clisson's Heritage. Some houses are more than just places to live. They bear witness to an era, a region, and a history that continues to unfold. In the heart of Clisson's historic center, The Monk's House is a characterful residence built in 1852, offering approximately 150 m² of living space and enjoying a rare location: a house intimately connected to the river that borders its garden. A true city of art and history with a unique charm, Clisson captivates with its Italian-inspired architecture, its ancient alleyways, its rolling landscapes, and its preserved atmosphere. In this privileged setting, this property occupies a special place, nestled between architectural heritage and the gentle pace of life by the water. Its location on the banks of the Moine River gives it a unique identity. Here, the river is more than just a backdrop: it accompanies the house, providing welcome coolness in summer and contributing fully to the peaceful atmosphere. The house has retained the features that make up the richness of old homes: parquet floors, fireplaces, a period staircase, generous proportions, and authentic materials. The current owners have preserved its character while adding the necessary modern comforts, including roof renovation, double glazing, and the modernization of certain spaces. From the moment you enter, the soul of the house is revealed. The ground floor features a pleasant reception room combining a living and dining area. The generous proportions, the fireplace, and the windows facing the river create a warm and timeless atmosphere. Extending from this, an approximately 50 m² east-west facing terrace becomes a true outdoor living space, offering a privileged setting with a view of nature. The fully renovated kitchen completes this living area. Upstairs, three bedrooms extend the authentic ambiance of the house. The original parquet floors and the proportions of the rooms evoke the house's historical character. A bathroom with a bathtub boasts a remarkable view of Clisson Castle, while a second bathroom completes the sleeping area. But it is undoubtedly in the lower levels that the house reveals its full historical depth. A vast cellar, divided into several spaces with an exceptional ceiling height of nearly 4 meters, preserves traces of a past intimately linked to the river. The presence of a former wash house and its direct access to the garden suggests the role this place played in the artisanal life of Clisson over the centuries. Today, this unique space offers rare potential: an artist's studio, a creative space, a private gallery, a collection space, or simply a living space steeped in history. Situated on a plot of approximately 260 m², the property benefits from a private garden on the banks of the Moine River with direct access to the water. An exceptional privilege in the heart of a historic town, allowing you to enjoy a natural environment while remaining close to shops and amenities. La Maison de la Moine appeals to heritage enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and those seeking more than just a house: a place with soul, history, and a genuine connection to its surroundings. A rare address in Clisson, where the charm of a 19th-century residence meets the timeless presence of the river.
