Tucked in the sought-after Biltmore Forest setting, 18 Forest Road offers a refined blend of midcentury modern design, architectural character, privacy and indoor-outdoor living. Rock accents featured inside and out create a cohesive design element, adding timeless texture while visually connecting the residence to its landscaped setting. Expansive glass doors bring the outdoors into the heart of the home, creating a seamless connection to nature and outdoor spaces. The living room is anchored by a three-sided stone gas fireplace, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and character to the den. The primary suite is located on the main level, offering convenience and comfort. Ample storage throughout the residence supports everyday function, including a former photography darkroom now used for storage. The lower level features a spacious recreation room with elevator access, adding flexibility for gathering, hobbies or extended living. Outdoors, an in-ground, solar-heated pool serves as a private retreat framed by lush, established native landscaping. Set within one of the Asheville area’s distinguished residential communities, Biltmore Forest is also home to a private country club, with membership available by application. With limited opportunities in Biltmore Forest below $2 million, this residence presents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy privacy, character and enduring appeal. Basement bedrooms and baths are included in the bedroom/bath room count, but the square footage is not counted due to ceiling height being below seven feet in the basement hallway. Request a floor plan for more details.

R-1
Residential District
The R-1 Residential District encompasses most of the town’s developed residential areas and contains residential structures of historical and architectural significance in a most unique residential environment. The intent of the R-1 District is to preserve and enhance the character of existing neighborhoods and generally to provide a pleasant living environment. These neighborhoods consist of single-family owner occupied detached dwelling units placed on relatively large lots with considerable open spaces between structures, thus creating a low-density residential environment.; Nonresidential uses, including home occupations, have been limited in this District as a means of maintaining the character of these neighborhoods. Likewise, dimensional requirements pertaining to lot size, building setbacks, yard requirements, and height limitations have been established to promote the general welfare and preservation of the community.; Future construction and alteration of existing structures should be oriented at maintaining and enhancing the existing character of the residential neighborhoods. Therefore, structures should be compatible in materials, height, siting, color, texture, scale, and proportion to the other structures in the neighborhood. The R-1 District also contains undeveloped areas to provide locations for future single-family subdivisions.; Consistent with, and to protect the existing character of the neighborhoods in this District, home stays and short term rentals are not allowed.
