Biltmore Estate Featured on CBS

Posted on May 17, 2009

On of my favorite estates in America, the Biltmore Estate, was featured on the CBS Sunday Morning show this morning. For those of you who don’t know your history, the Biltmore is the largest privately-owned home in the U.S. It was originally built and owned by railroad tycoon George Washington Vanderbilt in the late 1800’s.

Located in Asheville, North Carolina, the 175,000 square foot home is truly a wonder. It’s surrounded by opulent gardens and sculptures on over 8,000 acres of prime real estate. The property also includes a winery, a hotel and several restaurants and shops. Because of it’s distinction as the largest private home in the United States and its opulent characteristics, it has become a popular tourist destination for travelers from all over the world.

I’ve found the Biltmore’s website to be particularly helpful in giving me little tidbits of information that I didn’t know about the estate. It also features some truly magnificent pictures of the estate. If you’d like to learn more about the Biltmore or even book a trip there, check out their website!
