Jardin D'exception Avec Chalets

Berchigranges / Hautes-Vosges - 10 km from Gérardmer Grand EST

The Berchigranges garden is for sale: an exceptional landscaped estate with three buildings.

In Berchigranges, what is offered for sale today goes far beyond a typical property. It is a rare and coherent ensemble, combining a designer garden recognized as one of the most beautiful in France, three unique buildings perfectly integrated, and 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, the real estate fades in favor of the landscape.

This place is aimed at buyers seeking meaning as much as a location: garden collectors, lovers of signature places, promoters 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 is an exploitable built complex, including:
- a main house, the Cottage Bleu, an architect-designed residence with expressive architecture,
- an independent charming gîte, Plantes & Plumes, dedicated to premium seasonal rental,
- a stone reception pavilion topped with a green roof, offering spaces with commercial or event potential.

Together, they form a property open to multiple uses: main or secondary residence, place of heritage transmission, exclusive destination, or a hybrid project blending art, nature, and hospitality.

A designer garden sculpted in the mountain

Located at 650 m altitude, on a former granite quarry fully reclaimed, the Berchigranges garden develops a unique landscape design often described as a contemporary fairy tale garden. The terrain has literally been hand-shaped: tons of rocks moved, soil added, water flows reconfigured, construction of walls, footbridges, and successive levels.

The garden is discovered in sequences, as a succession of landscape rooms. Clearings, rockeries, water mirrors, narrow passages, and sudden openings compose a fluid and immersive journey drama. Visitors are guided by a subtle play of perspectives, plant textures, and changing light. Each season renews the reading of the place.

The botanical signature of Berchigranges explores acclimatization of plants from cool climates, adapted to harsh winters. 850 varieties of daffodils (national collection) find ideal conditions here in spring. Summer settles in a profusion of hydrangeas, large perennials, and grasses, before autumn sets the whole ablaze in a textured and nuanced palette. The garden naturalizes and adapts to the site.

This authorial approach, carried by a duo of creators—a terrain sculptor and a plant colorist—has earned the Berchigranges garden numerous national and international awards, including Garden of the Year, as well as recognition in specialized press.

The Cottage Bleu Main House

The main house of the estate, the Cottage Bleu, is an architect-designed wooden structure covering 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 has seven rooms, including three to four bedrooms, two bathrooms, storage spaces, and a closed loggia facing the garden.

The Plantes & Plumes Gîte, Charming Rental

Set back, the Plantes & Plumes gîte covers about 110 m² on the ground. Fully renovated in 2022, it is operated as a furnished tourist rental and sold fully furnished and decorated in a distinctive Berchi-Arty style.

The equipped kitchen opens onto a spacious living room with large windows overlooking a suspended teak terrace of about 30 m², a true belvedere over the garden. Upstairs, a large bedroom, a library that can serve as a second bedroom, a mezzanine with extra sleeping space, 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, to be renovated, with exposed stone and topped with a green roof, houses the reception area, shop, and practical annexes.

Individual sanitation by lagoon system. Mixed heating: wood and electricity. Energy performance rating E.
