		Vanderbilt would have thought about the number of visitors who wander around their property today, strolling thru their private quarters, peering into their luxurious bedroom chambers, viewing their personal effects and enjoying their share of this monument to a man and his vision.
		While in Asheville, George set out to explore parcels of land that were both available and affordable at the time, eventually accumulating 125,000 acres, an estate equivalent to the size of a modest mountain county.
		George saw to it that the mansion would have all of the latest technology of its time, central heating, electricity and a central plumbing system with fresh water being piped in from a mountain reservoir several miles away.

		George Vanderbilt’s house, if a massive limestone chateau can be called by such a homely name, was “Biltmore.” From its leaded-glass windows its young owner surveyed his princely domain of 130,000 acres of North Carolina woodlands.
		When George Vanderbilt conceived his plan to live in a palace and devote his fortune to experimental forestry, it is not surprising that he should have chosen as his architect a man well known to the family.
		When George Vanderbilt saw Hunt’s plans for the house he was so pleased that he had a spur of railroad built to the site from Asheville to expedite the construction, and he imported hundreds of artisans from France to lay the walls and apply the ornament.

	Biltmore Estate by Richard Morris Hunt
		This country retreat, built for George Washington Vanderbilt III, is located in the scenic Appalachian mountains in western North Carolina in the town of Asheville, known in the late nineteenth century as a health resort.

		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.
