Berchigranges / Hautes-Vosges - 10 km from Gérardmer - Grand EST For sale: Le Cottage Bleu chalet and its reception pavilion in the heart of a remarkable garden Blue like the color of the sky and flowers, Le Cottage Bleu chalet is an enchanted retreat where nature decorates every day. Just ten kilometers from Gérardmer, in the rolling landscape of the Hautes-Vosges, this unique property is located in the heart of the Berchigranges estate, a designer garden recognized as one of the most beautiful in France. Here, the home and landscape respond to each other naturally, offering a living environment where the eye constantly rests on the mountain, flowering massifs, and plant perspectives shaped over more than thirty years. The place will appeal equally to garden and character architecture enthusiasts, those seeking an extraordinary main residence, a family home to gather through the seasons, or a project combining living space with tourism or cultural activities. The independent reception pavilion also opens many possibilities: professional space, workshop, additional accommodation, or event venue. Covering approximately 190 m² on the ground floor, Le Cottage Bleu is a wooden structure house with expressive architecture, designed in constant dialogue with the natural terrain. Its volumes unfold over several levels, creating varied atmospheres and renewed views of the garden. Entry is through a first vestibule that gently reveals the space. Then opens the living area, consisting of a dining room and an open kitchen, bathed in the presence of the garden. Large ogival-shaped bay windows frame the vegetation and offer a direct view of the outdoors, as if the landscape naturally enters the house. Depending on the season, the blooms, foliage, and light compose an ever-changing spectacle. Continuing on, a boudoir lounge invites moments of reading or conversation, while a custom library lined with books can also become a bedroom if needed. Warm tones, abundant wood, and soft volumes create an intimate, almost timeless atmosphere. A few steps down, a study area also enjoys a privileged connection with the outside. Nearby, a bedroom set in an elegant turret with ogival windows offers a unique and poetic setting. Further on, a fully glazed veranda reveals a striking view of the Berchigranges garden and the wooded reliefs of the Hautes-Vosges. This space, suspended between inside and outside, becomes alternately a winter lounge, workshop, or place for contemplation. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are located under the exposed beams of Le Cottage Bleu. The mansard volumes and sky-facing openings add to the charm of these spaces. A bathroom with toilet completes the floor. The house also includes a small wine cellar, a laundry room, and an additional room that can accommodate an extra bedroom with a bathroom. A separate toilet completes this area. Outside, the Berchigranges garden spreads over 1.2 hectares, expressing its personality in a preserved environment at 650 meters altitude. Created on a former granite quarry, it has been developed over decades with a free and sensitive landscape design, mixing plant rooms, perspective plays, and natural compositions. It houses a remarkable botanical diversity, including a national collection of daffodils with over 850 varieties, as well as many perennials, hydrangeas, grasses, and plants adapted to cool climates and Vosges winters. The garden is discovered at the pace of the seasons and walks. Above all, it forms a living setting around the house, a landscape to be admired daily from every room of Le Cottage Bleu. At the property entrance, the stone reception pavilion with a green roof harmoniously completes the ensemble. Covering about 85 m² on the ground floor to be reinvented, it offers multiple possibilities: artist’s studio, guest house, professional space, tourist accommodation, or event venue. Le Cottage Bleu is a designer home where architecture dialogues with vegetation, a unique place offering both exceptional quality of life and real project potential, in one of the most inspiring landscapes of the Hautes-Vosges.
