Asheville's Biltmore Forest and the Ramble at Biltmore Forest could be the perfect example of 
sustainability in practice complemented by the addition of luxurious green-built homes. So, the sixth stop on our seven-part tour takes us to one of the Asheville areas most elegant finds. This is the Town of Biltmore Forest , which is located about 7 minutes from downtown Asheville, NC. Especially attractive if you value sustainability in practice, is the Town's dedication to the protection and preservation of the natural beauty of the area. Incorporated in 1923, and dedicated as an Historic District (Department of Interior,1990,) Biltmore Forest is planned community with a rich cultural history.
The eco-sensitive designs of Frederick Law Olmsted,famed American landscape architect and designer of George W. Vanderbilt's Biltmore Estate, resonated many years ago at Biltmore Forest and continue in the newly constructed Ramble at Biltmore Forest neighborhood.
There are beautiful natural surroundings, attractive parks and picturesque streets throughout this area.
Here is the seamless feeling . . .green corridors connecting neighbors and nature.. . .
In fact, nature so close-at-hand throughout the Town.
" The idea of preserving and enhancing nature is at the core of the beauty of Biltmore Forest and helps guide the ordinance makers, administrators, developers, and residents of the Town."
N C Healthy Built ®Homes. certified Energy-Star® for their efficiency and constructed with low-maintenance building materials can be found as we tour this neighborhood. With the traditional walking trails, parks, and abundant woodland green spaces nearby, it is nice to know that the Ramble at Biltmore Forest keeps that tradition alive with luxurious Green-Built homes.
In fact, five (5) energy efficient, green-built homes currently are available ( Spring, 2010.) These homes offer amenities such as (my favorite) gourmet kitchens, spa-inspired bathrooms, elegant finishes, great rooms with wood burning fireplaces, and wraparound decks.
Of special interest to the Second or Vacation home buyer, furnishings are also available in at least one of these homes, so you can enjoy this home right away.
Being a part of a thoughtfully-planned neighborhood, where green-built homes are designed with natural, non-toxic materials to be safe, healthy, and energy efficient, built to the highest green building standards has enormous dividends for our clients.
