Some consider a ramble a walk down a wooded trail. Others believe it to be a protected green space. Both concepts apply to The Ramble, Asheville's newest community.
Closely patterned after the designs of architect Frederick Law Olmsted (the man behind New York's Central Park) and principles found at Biltmore Forest, The Ramble features trails, parks and green spaces.
The Ramble lies along the southern boundary of the historic Town of Biltmore Forest, bound by Vanderbilt's incomparable Biltmore Estate and the glorious Blue Ridge Parkway. A 5-10 minute drive can take you to the best grocers, banks, shopping and interstate highways ... or downtown Asheville. And just 15 minutes to the airport.
