6 Frith Drive, Asheville, NC

The architectural profile of Biltmore Forest is defined by estates that prioritize permanence and discretion, a standard upheld by this 1994 residence. Evoking the composition of a European country manor, the home is characterized by steep rooflines and ivy-clad elevations set against a mature woodland backdrop. Spanning 5,577 square feet, the interior program balances formal entertainment spaces—including a dedicated library and a grand foyer—with the practical requirements of modern living. The four-bedroom, five-bathroom layout is anchored by a significant 739-square-foot covered porch, an expansive outdoor room that serves as the primary transition to the manicured gardens. In the current Asheville submarket, Biltmore Forest remains the preeminent choice for collectors of traditional architecture due to its strict preservation standards and historic provenance. This estate represents a rare opportunity to acquire a significant footprint within the town’s most established corridor. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.

About the home

Set within the storied enclave of Biltmore Forest, this exceptional residence evokes the timeless romance of a European country estate. Steep rooflines, climbing ivy and graceful architectural details create a striking sense of arrival, while mature woods envelop the property in extraordinary privacy. A grand foyer and elegant staircase introduce beautifully proportioned interiors designed for gracious living and entertaining. The light-filled formal living room is complemented by a handsome library with built-in shelving and direct access to the gardens, along with an elegant formal dining room. The well-appointed kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and flows into inviting everyday spaces, including a fireside den and charming breakfast area. Just beyond, a gracious 739 sqft covered porch overlooks and opens directly to the gardens. Generous in scale and extraordinary in atmosphere, it serves as a natural extension of the interiors, a place for morning coffee, long lunches, evening gatherings and quiet moments surrounded by the beauty of the landscape. In many ways, this remarkable outdoor room is the true heart of the home, creating an effortless connection between house and garden. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a serene retreat, accompanied by three additional bedrooms and two additional baths. A three-car garage completes the residence. The magic of the property continues throughout its extraordinary grounds. Officially recognized in 2003 with inclusion in the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Gardens, the gardens are nothing short of remarkable. Boxwood parterres, sculptural topiaries, rhododendrons, peonies and a romantic wisteria arbor create a series of enchanting garden rooms, all beautifully connected to the house and its covered porch. Beyond, a private trail winds through the surrounding woods. Rare in beauty, provenance and atmosphere, this distinguished estate offers an extraordinary harmony of architecture, garden and landscape in one of Biltmore Forest’s most captivating settings.
