Berchigranges / Hautes-Vosges - 10 km from Gérardmer - Grand EST The blue cottage and garden of Berchigranges are for sale: an exceptional landscaped estate. In Berchigranges, what is currently offered for sale goes far beyond the scope of a classic property. It is a rare ensemble that brings together an acclaimed garden recognized as one of the most beautiful in France, its blue cottage, and the welcome pavilion. A unique potential for residential, tourist, or cultural projects. Spread over 1.2 hectares of sculpted garden, 10 km from the Gérardmer resort, the Berchigranges estate is a living work shaped over more than thirty years. Here, real estate fades away in favor of the landscape. The site appeals to buyers in search of meaning as much as location: garden collectors, lovers of unique places, 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 iconic landscape work, an exploitable built complex is organized, including: - a main house, the Blue Cottage, an author residence with expressive architecture, - a stone welcome pavilion, topped with a green roof, offering spaces with residential, commercial, or event potential. The whole constitutes a property open to multiple uses: primary or secondary residence, transmission site, confidential destination, hybrid project mixing art, nature, and hospitality. An author garden sculpted in the mountain Located at an altitude of 650 m, 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 shaped by hand: tons of rocks moved, soil added, water circulation reconfigured, construction of walls, footbridges, and successive levels. The garden reveals itself through sequences, in a succession of landscape chambers. Clearings, rockeries, water mirrors, tight passages, and sudden openings compose a fluid and immersive journey's dramaturgy. The visitor is guided by a subtle interplay of perspectives, plant textures, and changing lights. Each season renews the reading of the place. The botanical signature of Berchigranges explores an acclimatization of cool-climate plants, adapted to rigorous winters. 850 varieties of daffodils (national collection) find ideal conditions in spring. Summer arrives in a profusion of hydrangeas, large perennials, and grasses, before autumn ignites the entire palette in a textured and nuanced spectrum. The garden naturalizes, adapting to the locations. This authorial approach, carried by a duo of creators - land sculptor and plant colorist - has earned the Berchigranges garden numerous national and international distinctions, including the title of Garden of the Year, as well as recognition in the specialized press. The Blue Cottage Main House The main house of the estate, the Blue Cottage is a wooden structure dwelling, developing about 190 m² on the ground. Its architecture follows the natural slope of the land, unfolding in volumes and successive levels. 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 comprises seven rooms, including three to four bedrooms, two bathrooms, storage spaces, and a closed loggia facing the garden. The welcome 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, hosts the reception area, shop, and practical annexes.
