Built by George W Vanderbilt 1896
Asheville, NC
Still today one of America's largest private homes, The Biltmore Estate has been open for public viewing since 1930. With over 1,800 employees caring to preserve this national treasure, the sprawling grounds and mansion built right into the Blue Ridge Mountains remain a breath-taking sight. Grand Victorian architecture can be seen in the many of the rooms numbering 250+.
The outdoor estate gardens might still might be a few weeks away from being in their prime, but we were treated to gorgeous display of orchids in the Winter Garden and continuing throughout the grounds to the Winery. The past and present seem a streamed timeline of history on this 8,000 acres estate.
