The garden of Berchigranges is for sale: an exceptional landscaped domain with three unique buildings.
In Berchigranges, what is now offered for sale far exceeds the framework of a classic property. This is a rare and coherent ensemble, bringing together an acclaimed author's garden recognized as one of the most beautiful in France, three singular buildings perfectly integrated, and a unique potential for residential, tourist, or cultural projects.
Spread over 1.2 hectares of sculpted garden, just 10 km from the Gérardmer ski resort, the domain of Berchigranges is a living work shaped over more than thirty years. Here, real estate fades into the landscape. The place is aimed at buyers in search of meaning as much as place: garden collectors, fans of author's sites, holders of tourist or cultural projects, families wishing to embed their lives in a living heritage, or investors sensitive to destinations with a strong identity.
Around this emblematic landscaped work, an exploitable built complex is organized, including:
- a main house, the Cottage Bleu, an expressive author's residence,
- an independent charming gîte, Plantes et Plumes, dedicated to premium seasonal rentals,
- a stone reception pavilion topped with a green roof, offering spaces with commercial or event potential. The whole composes a property open to multiple uses: main or secondary residence, place of transmission, confidential destination, hybrid project combining art, nature, and hospitality.
An author's garden sculpted in the mountains
Located at 650 m altitude, on a former granite quarry completely reclaimed, the garden of Berchigranges develops a unique landscape writing, often described as a contemporary tale garden. The relief has been literally hand-modeled: tons of rocks moved, earth brought in, reconfiguration of water flows, construction of walls, walkways, and successive levels.
The garden is discovered in sequences, in a succession of landscape chambers. Clearings, rockeries, water mirrors, narrow passages, and sudden openings create a dramatic flow and immersive journey. The visitor is guided by a subtle play of perspectives, plant textures, and changing lights. Each season renews the interpretation of the place.
The botanical signature of Berchigranges explores an acclimatization of plants from cool climates, adapted to harsh winters. 850 varieties of daffodils (national collection) find ideal conditions there in spring. Summer unfolds in a profusion of hydrangeas, tall perennials, and grasses, before autumn sets the entire area ablaze with a textured and nuanced palette. The garden naturalizes, adapting to the surroundings.
This author’s approach, carried by a duo of creators – sculptor of the terrain and colorist of the plants – has earned the garden of Berchigranges numerous national and international distinctions, including the title of Garden of the Year, as well as recognition in specialized press.
The Cottage Bleu Main House
As the main house of the domain, the Cottage Bleu is an author's dwelling with a wooden structure, spanning approximately 190 m² on the ground. Its architecture corresponds to the natural slope of the land, unfolding in successive volumes and levels. The living spaces are organized around an open kitchen, several lounges, a library, and an office. The openings frame the garden like living paintings. The house includes seven rooms, including three to four bedrooms, two bathrooms, storage spaces, and a closed loggia facing the garden.
The gîte Plantes et Plumes, Charming Rental
Set back, the gîte Plantes et Plumes spans approximately 110 m² on the ground. Completely renovated in 2022, it is managed as a furnished tourist rental and sold fully furnished and decorated in a distinct Berchi-Arty aesthetic. The equipped kitchen opens onto a largely glass-walled living-dining room that leads to a suspended teak terrace of about 30 m², a true belvedere of the garden. Upstairs, a large bedroom, a library that can serve as a second bedroom, a mezzanine with extra bedding, and a bathroom create a warm and immersive space.
The reception pavilion
At the entrance of the property, a building of about 85 m² on the ground, with exposed stone and topped with a green roof, houses the reception area, shop, and practical annexes.
Individual sanitation through lagoon. Mixed heating: Wood and electricity. Energy performance rating E.
