	Biltmore Estate by Richard Morris Hunt
		This large estate was planned as self-supporting with gardens, a nursery, farms, and forests surrounding the estate.
		Hunt and Vanderbilt had in fact visited a number of these estates in both France and England and they were especially impressed by Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire (1877-83), which was one of the principal sources for the east elevation of Biltmore Estate.
		The huge estate of thousands of acres was planned by Frederick Law Olmsted (the designer of New York's Central Park) with a meandering approach road, imported plant material (which seems natural), and an impressive "Esplanade," or forecourt, leading to the main house.

	Biltmore Estate
		The Biltmore Estate is a study of how an entrepreneur can turn a large heritage resource from a non-revenue generator into a heritage tourism destination.

		The Biltmore Estate is a good example of a destination which has been successfully developed by a private owner.

	Estate (house) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An estate comprises the houses and outbuildings and supporting farmland and woods that surround the gardens and grounds of a very large property, such as a country house or mansion.
		It is an "estate" because the profits from its produce and rents are sufficient to support the household in the house at its center.
		"Estate", with its "stately" connotations, has been a natural candidate for inflationary usage during the 20th century, much as the "landscaping" that can be effected in a front or back yard.

		I speak of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.C., formally opened on Christmas Eve, 1895.
		That sense of being a guest instead of a gawking tourist is not unique to me; on a recent visit I heard the same sentiment expressed by others over afternoon tea at the Inn on Biltmore Estate, a 213-room four-star hostelry that seems much more settled in than its 2001 opening would imply.
		And mark this: the tours through the Biltmore House can be self-guided so you can dawdle in the billiard room, the music room, the tapestry gallery, the fascinating basement.
