North Carolina: Biltmore Estate
The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, a French Rennaissance castle, is America’s largest residential home. Built by George Vanderbilt in 1895 as a grand Blue Ridge Mountain retreat for his family, it stands on 8,000 acres and has at least 250 rooms. Its grounds were designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead (of New York City’s Central Park-fame). The home and gardens are open for tours.
