Rare New Construction in Historic Biltmore Forest Lists for $6.99 Million

Biltmore Forest, N.C. (February 16, 2026) — A custom new construction residence overlooking the 13th fairway of Biltmore Forest Country Club is now available for $6,995,000. Located at 402 Vanderbilt Road, it is represented exclusively by Marilyn Wright of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Asheville office. The listing details can be viewed here. Situated on 1.71 acres in the heart of the Forest, the 5,000-square-foot residence seamlessly blends classic architectural presence with modern craftsmanship, an uncommon offering within Biltmore Forest. While many homes in this historic community have been preserved for generations, the sellers undertook the rare opportunity to remove an existing brick rancher and thoughtfully construct a fully custom estate. Designed by PLATT Architecture, the home was carefully envisioned to honor the architectural integrity of its surroundings while delivering the comfort, scale and livability of a modern luxury residence. Five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths are complemented by graciously proportioned living and entertaining spaces, along with a private home elevator that provides seamless access to all three levels. Intentional interior details feature custom kitchen cabinetry by Mason Elliott Designs, Brazil desert beach granite surfaces and a curated selection of designer chandeliers that elevate each space. Custom bookshelves and cabinetry by Tommy Williams are also incorporated into the home’s formal library. Outdoor living areas extend the home’s entertaining footprint, taking full advantage of the property’s natural setting. A 600-square-foot screened-in porch features a hearth fireplace and outdoor kitchen. In addition, a 50-foot-long stone terrace spans the rear of the home, allowing space for alfresco dining and gatherings with views of the surrounding mountains. Set along one of Biltmore Forest Country Club’s most scenic fairways, this property represents a rare new construction offering within a community traditionally defined by historic residences. New build opportunities of this scale are exceedingly limited in Biltmore Forest, making it a distinctive offering in one of Western North Carolina’s most established and tightly held communities.
