This country retreat, built for George Washington Vanderbilt III and completed in December 1895, is located in the Blue Ridge/ Appalachian mountain ranges in western North Carolina southwest of the town of Asheville, which was known in the late nineteenth century as a health resort. This large estate of 125,000 acres was planned as self-supporting with gardens, a nursery, farms, and forests surrounding the estate. The name Biltmore derives from "Bildt," Vanderbilt's ancestors' place of origin in Holland, and "More," Anglo-Saxon for open, rolling land. The house was modeled on the French Renaissance chateau, with steeply pitched roofs, towers, turrets, and extensive sculptural ornamentation. This style was "the Nouveau Riche style" of the third quarter of the nineteenth century in England, and of Victorians who were attracted to the skyline silhouette of this dramatic style. Building architect Richard Morris Hunt and Vanderbilt had 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 elevated land east of the house. Size was also important, for this residence is reportedly the largest private house in the U.S. The house has 4 acres of floor space, 250 rooms, and 43 bathrooms. Although the main building had its source in sixteenth century France (via Victorian England), it was designed with the most up-to-date technological advances--central heating and plumbing (including instantly available hot water), electricity, mechanical refrigeration, two electric elevators, an electric dumb waiter, a bowling alley, and a 70,000-gallon in-door swimming pool. Built of Indiana limestone, the house was sited facing east with a front facade of more than 375 feet. The western facade (or rear) has an extensive porch, with views of Mt. Pisgah and the Blue Ridge Mountain Range, and opening into the house's main rooms. The approach road to the house and the estate's restored lands, including forests and gardens, were designed by a team headed up by Vanderbilt and Frederick Law Olmsted. The house and grounds have been opened to the public since 1930.
