Berchigranges / Hautes-Vosges - 10 km from Gérardmer - Grand EST For sale: the cottage Le Cottage Bleu and its welcome pavilion in the heart of a remarkable garden. Blue like the color of the sky and flowers, the cottage Le Cottage Bleu is an enchanted interlude where nature decorates every day. Just ten kilometers from Gérardmer, nestled in the rolling landscape of Hautes-Vosges, this unique property is located in the heart of the Berchigranges estate, a renowned garden recognized as one of the most beautiful in France. Here, the home and landscape resonate clearly, offering a living environment where the gaze is always drawn to the mountains, flowering masses, and plant perspectives shaped over more than thirty years. The place will appeal both to garden lovers and admirers of characterful architecture, as well as those seeking an extraordinary primary residence, a family house to gather in through the seasons, or a project combining living space with tourism or cultural activities. The independent welcome pavilion also opens up many possibilities for use: professional space, workshop, additional accommodation, or event venue. Covering approximately 190 m² on the ground, the Cottage Bleu is a wooden structure with expressive architecture, designed to interact continuously with the natural terrain. Its volumes unfold over several levels, creating varied atmospheres and renewed views of the garden. Entry is through a first entrance hall that reveals the discovery of the place. Then the living space opens up, consisting of a dining room and an open kitchen, bathed in the presence of the garden. Large pointed-arch windows frame the vegetation and offer a direct view of the outdoors, as if the landscape naturally enters the house. Depending on the seasons, the blooms, foliage, and light compose an ever-renewing spectacle. In extension, a boudoir invites moments of reading or conversation while a custom library, lined with books, can also become a bedroom if needed. The warm hues, the omnipresence of wood, and the softness of the volumes create an intimate, almost timeless atmosphere. A few steps lower, an office space also enjoys a privileged relationship with the outside. Nearby, a bedroom set in an elegant turret with pointed-arch windows offers a unique and poetic setting. Further along, a fully glazed veranda unveils a stunning view of the Berchigranges garden and the wooded reliefs of Hautes-Vosges. This suspended space between inside and outside becomes, in turn, a winter lounge, workshop, or contemplation area. On the upper floor, two additional bedrooms nestle beneath the exposed beams of the Cottage Bleu. The sloped volumes and openings to the sky contribute to the charm of these spaces. A bathroom with a toilet completes the ensemble. The house also includes a small wine cellar, a laundry room, and an additional room that can accommodate another bedroom with a shower room. A separate toilet completes this area. Outside, the Berchigranges garden unfolds its personality over 1.2 hectares in a preserved environment at an altitude of 650 meters. Created on an old granite quarry, it has evolved over the decades with a free and sensitive landscape design, blending plant rooms, perspective games, and natural compositions. It hosts a remarkable botanical diversity, including a national collection of daffodils boasting over 850 varieties, as well as numerous perennials, hydrangeas, grasses, and plants suited to cool climates and Vosges winters. The garden reveals itself at the rhythm of the seasons and strolls. It primarily serves as a living frame around the house, a landscape to be contemplated daily from each of the rooms of the Cottage Bleu. At the entrance of the property, the stone welcome pavilion, topped with a green roof, harmoniously completes the whole. Covering approximately 85 m² on the ground to reinvent, it offers multiple perspectives: artist’s studio, guest house, professional space, tourist accommodation, or event venue. The Cottage Bleu is an author’s house where architecture dialogues with plants, a unique place that offers both exceptional quality of life and genuine project potential in one of the most inspiring landscapes of Hautes-Vosges.
