Biltmore Lake is a 55+ active adult community in Asheville, North Carolina, nestled among mountains with over 750 homes and a 62-acre mountain lake at its center, where you'll find people fishing, kayaking, and enjoying non-motorized boats, with well-kept hiking trails, campsites, and sports courts laid out among streets and sidewalks that wind through neighborhoods like Wilderness Cove and Cedar Rock, and homes from the Cottage Collection and others-like The Bungalow, Cataloochee, Chasteen, Ivy Creek, Pinnacle, Tuckaseegee, and Weston-all with floor plans that include both crawl spaces and lower levels, some with hardwood floors, high-end finishes, owner's suites on the main level, private baths, laundry in the unit, dishwashers, kitchens, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, cable, and even garages in some homes, which can run up to 1,890 square feet with a nice mix of single-family, low-maintenance, semi-custom, move-in ready, and land/home packages, all backed by a one-year home warranty and limited ten-year structural warranty.
Residents have access to amenities and spaces like a big Lake Club with beach access, a dock, boat launch, paddle boarding, miles of wooded trails with a 2.5-mile loop by the lake, playgrounds, tennis, pickleball, a full basketball court, and common areas for picnics or walking. There are game rooms, a fitness center, activity rooms, a library, movie theater, arts room, and plenty of spaces for arts, crafts, and resident-run activities. The Lifestyle Director organizes clubs, lectures, socials, live concerts, and tennis lessons, and you'll always find walking groups, movie nights, and fitness programs going. The community sees to everyday details with regular trash pickup, recycling, housekeeping, laundry/dry cleaning, concierge services, move-in help, and weekly security patrols.
Dining takes place in a community dining room with all-day service, restaurant-style meals, options for allergies or diabetes, and a professional chef running the kitchen. Medical needs are covered with round-the-clock supervision, help with bathing, dressing, and medications, plus easy access to Mission Children's Hospital just three miles away and Ingles Pharmacy within a mile. Neighborhoods have mountain and lake views, especially in Cedar Rock, and homes include appliances like washers and dryers, good-sized living spaces, and access to garages or nearby parking.
Community gatherings happen at a lakeside performance pavilion built with residents' help, and the homeowners' association, called Seasons HOA and managed by the Biltmore Lake Community Association, takes care of lake maintenance, landscaping, trails, design review, and community security. Special features like stormwater management and attention to the outdoors help keep things sustainable, and folks can get outside biking, hiking, camping, canoeing, fishing, or on a well-mapped trail system, with an interactive map to help explore. There's easy access to churches like St. Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Church and familiar dining like Cracker Barrel nearby, so you're never far from daily conveniences or connection to the wider Asheville area.
The whole place is managed with care by organizations such as Whitney Commercial Real Estate Services and Bear Creek Realty & Property Management, with a history of quality craftsmanship, solid warranties, and a focus on community engagement, so everyone's got a chance to find the right home for a peaceful and active retirement surrounded by the natural beauty of mountains, forest trails, and the calm lake right outside the front door.
