Berchigranges / Hautes-Vosges - 10 km from Gérardmer - Grand EST
For sale, the chalet Le Cottage Bleu and its welcome pavilion in the heart of a remarkable garden.
Blue like the color of the sky and flowers, the chalet Le Cottage Bleu is an enchanted interlude where nature decorates each day.
Only ten kilometers from Gérardmer, in the hilly landscape of the Hautes-Vosges, this unique property is set in the heart of the Berchigranges domain, a renowned garden considered one of the most beautiful in France. Here, the home and landscape resonate with clarity, offering a living environment where one's gaze is continuously drawn to the mountains, the flowering massifs, and the plant perspectives shaped over more than thirty years.
The place will appeal to both garden and character architecture lovers, as well as those seeking an extraordinary principal residence, a family home for seasonal gatherings, or a project combining living space with tourism or cultural activities. The independent welcome pavilion also opens up many usage possibilities: professional space, workshop, additional accommodation, or reception venue.
Spanning approximately 190 m² on the ground, Le Cottage Bleu is a wooden structure with expressive architecture, designed in permanent dialogue with the natural terrain. Its volumes unfold over multiple levels, creating varied atmospheres and renewed viewpoints of the garden.
Access involves a first entryway that leads to the discovery of the premises. The living space then opens up, composed of a dining area and an open kitchen, bathed in the presence of the garden. Large, ogival-shaped windows frame the vegetation and provide a direct view of the outdoors, as if the landscape naturally penetrated the house. Depending on the seasons, the blooms, foliage, and lights create a constantly renewed spectacle.
In continuation, a boudoir-style lounge invites moments of reading or conversation, while a custom library, lined with books, can also serve as a bedroom according to needs. Warm tones, omnipresent wood, and the softness of the volumes create an intimate, almost timeless atmosphere.
A few steps down, an office space also enjoys a privileged relationship with the outdoors. Nearby, a bedroom installed in an elegant turret with ogival-shaped windows offers a unique and poetic setting. Further on, a fully glazed veranda reveals a stunning view of the Berchigranges garden and the wooded hills of the Hautes-Vosges. This space suspended between interior and exterior becomes alternately a winter lounge, workshop, or contemplation area.
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms fit under the exposed beams of Le Cottage Bleu. The attic volumes and openings towards the sky contribute to the charm of these spaces. A bathroom with a toilet completes the ensemble.
The house also features 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 over 1.2 hectares, showcasing its personality in a preserved environment at 650 meters altitude. Created on an old granite quarry, it has developed over decades with a free and sensitive landscape design, blending plant rooms, perspectives, and natural compositions. It boasts a remarkable botanical diversity, including a national collection of daffodils with over 850 varieties, as well as many perennials, hydrangeas, grasses, and plants suited to cool climates and Vosges winters.
The garden reveals itself at the pace of the seasons and strolls. Above all, it serves as a living setting around the house, a landscape to contemplate daily from each room of Le Cottage Bleu.
At the entrance to the property, the stone welcome pavilion, topped with a green roof, harmoniously completes the ensemble. Spanning approximately 85 m² on the ground, it offers multiple perspectives: artist's studio, guest house, professional space, tourist accommodation, or reception site.
Le Cottage Bleu is a crafted home where architecture interacts with vegetation, a unique place that offers both exceptional quality of life and genuine project potential, in one of the most inspiring landscapes of the Hautes-Vosges.
