Contemporary

Gracefully poised in the prestigious gated community of The Ramble Biltmore Forest, this stunning contemporary masterpiece blends modern elegance with warm hospitality. Designed with extraordinary attention to detail, the residence is defined by soaring ceilings, walls of glass and a sculptural marble fireplace, all set against the dramatic beauty of ebonized bamboo floors. The gourmet kitchen is a work of art and function, anchored by a new 48-inch Fulgor Milano Sofia range, Brazilian granite countertops and backsplash, extensive custom cabinetry, and extra-heavy drawers designed to accommodate cast iron and Le Creuset. Three Murano glass pendants illuminate the island, while a butler’s pantry with second refrigerator adds convenience. Under-cabinet angle power strips, an oversized three-car garage wired for two EV charging stations, and updated 2024 openers underscore the thoughtful design. The main-level primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath with dual Kohler shower systems, a rain head, and radiant-heated floors, complemented by a custom walk-in closet with floor-to-ceiling built-ins. A private fenced terrace with synthetic turf creates the ideal sun lounge or dog run. A second-floor guest suite provides three gracious rooms with kitchenette and private entry, ideal for extended stays. Additional highlights include a wine keeper wine room awaiting enclosure, two tankless water heaters with recirculation, a 2024 HVAC system with five zones, Trane XR whole-house filtration and humidifier, AT&T high-speed fiber, and an Eaton whole-house generator. Smart living is ensured with Control4 and Lutron automation, 14 audio zones and a monitored security system. Seamless indoor-outdoor living defines the home. A phantom-screened porch with fireplace opens to the manicured pool area, complemented by an outdoor kitchen that rivals the indoors with a Fire Magic Echelon grill, infrared sear and rotisserie, and Earth Stone 90 wood or gas pizza oven. Multi-zone landscape sprinklers with remote access, a separate irrigation meter and hot tub complete this private outdoor sanctuary. Beyond the residence, life in The Ramble is enriched by world-class amenities. The Living Well Center, a 9,000-square-foot gathering place, offers a heated saline pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, and great room with stone fireplace and curated art collections. Buck Spring Cabin, once part of George Vanderbilt’s rustic retreat, now serves as a hub for book clubs, card games and resident events. Longmeadow Park is the community’s grand outdoor living room, featuring a natural amphitheater, open-air pavilion, formal English gardens, a playground, basketball court, multi-purpose field and a hand-hewn stone firepit. Over seven miles of wooded trails, along with Overlook Park and Crescent Park, invite daily connection with nature. This residence is more than a home—it is a work of art, combining architectural distinction with state-of-the-art systems and the enduring elegance of The Ramble. Here, every detail is refined, every amenity considered and every day elevated by the beauty of Asheville’s exclusive community.
