For Asheville buyers who want wooded trails and green space without sacrificing proximity to city conveniences, The Ramble at Biltmore Forest is a top choice. This master-planned gated community offers a serene setting, a safe environment and beautiful landscaped common areas (not to mention the area's natural beauty!) just minutes from downtown Asheville. Handcrafted custom homes blend seamlessly into the forests of Ducker Mountain, bordering the Blue Ridge Parkway – creating an atmosphere that prioritizes privacy, community, and tranquility. Living in The Ramble feels like residing in a rural setting, yet Biltmore Park Town Square’s shops and eateries are next door and Mission Hospital and urban amenities are only a few miles away.
What sets The Ramble apart is its array of amenities for wellness and socializing. At the heart of the neighborhood is the Living Well Center, a clubhouse featuring a modern fitness facility, a heated saline swimming pool, lighted tennis courts, and even a curated art collection and cozy great room. Here, residents gather for exercise classes, clubs, or simply a cup of coffee by the fire. Throughout The Ramble, you’ll find several parks (like the lovely Longmeadow Park) and miles of hiking trails – many of them paved for easy strolls. In fact, the community’s trail network links directly into Biltmore Park Town Square, meaning you can walk or bike right from your home to grab a coffee, go shopping, or catch a movie at the theater. This unique perk truly blends nature with convenience, allowing Ramble residents to enjoy dinner and a movie without ever starting the car.
Community spirit is strong in The Ramble. Neighbors here know each other, and the community association hosts regular events that bring people together. In the summer, for example, Longmeadow Park becomes a venue for live concerts and food truck nights, where everyone gathers in the open-air pavilion to enjoy music and mingle under the stars. With its combination of lush scenery, walking-friendly design, and active social calendar, The Ramble offers a balanced lifestyle that appeals to both nature lovers and cosmopolitans alike – perfect for those who want the best of both worlds in Arden.
