Not sure where our host learned real estate appraisal but the Arden House was sold in 2011 for $6.5 million. Slightly less than the "Hundreds of Millions" he suggests. I would say it should certainly be worth more, that is until the non profit that purchased it defiled the beautiful mansion by adding one of the most hideous conference rooms known to man. Also there are definitely no yachts sailing in Cranberry Lake or Forest Lake behind the estate. It would be a vey short trip around either lake. Maybe a few rowboats or canoes.

I've been there three times (well worth the expense) but never had a clear answer on how long it took to build it.

[@icaruswindrune7116]

@@platoman214 They give a detailed explanation in the "Rooftop Private Tour" - which is pretty expensive, but well worth it. You learn the price of the house's construction during the 1890s, the amount of time it took to build the house, you get to see some of the 4th floor and the scale model of the house on that floor, you get to walk along the back balcony, and you get to look at the attic and walk above the grand staircase. Also, the estate used to be 100,000 acres - but 90,000 acres were sold/given to the US government for conservation by George Vanderbilt's wife after he died (on his behest).

Hello, Vicki how are you doing today?

[@alejoflesan]

Excellent locution. Despite the fact that my mother tongue is Spanish, I can understand the description of the mansions quite well! Congratulation to you! Very interesting video!

[@maryault8928]

Yes these mansions are gorgeous but all I can think about is the homeless 😔

[@carojames6776]

All I keep thinking about is the monumental amount of cleaning required.

Hello, Mary Ault how are you doing today?

Have been to the Biltmore and was surprised I didn't hear him say anything about the green houses off to the left of the castle. Yes,.. I called it a castle. Once you see the stone work, wood work, art everywhere, metal framings and glass,.. it truly is the only American Royal Castle/Manson. The artistry of every inch of it is simply amazing in every detail. There are parts of the property you are not allowed to go in however. Rumor was that some of servant quarters are haunted and can be mischievous. Thus, no one is allowed to venture there,.. or,.. so they say. 😉 The Vanderbilt's, are as close to and the only American Royalty we have ever truly had in this country. Some could argue the Kennedy's but I'll stick with the Vanderbilt's. 🙂👍

[@ML-lg4ky]

By Biltmores you mean Vanderbilt’s.

[@mentalcog2187]

@@ML-lg4ky Hahaha!! Yes! You are right, hahaha! I fixed it and Thank You! 😉🤣

[@hahna77]

Actually, the Astor's, Bundy's, Collins's, DuPont's, Freeman's, Kennedy's, Li's, Onassis's, Rockefeller's, the Russell's, the Van Duyn's, the Merovingian's and the Rothschild's are the 13 wealthiest, elite ruling bloodlines, so the Vanderbilt's didn't quite make the cut for some reason or another.

I live close to the estate, I used to go often for photography. I have a beautiful picture of the chandelier in the grand staircase. Its one of my favorite pictures I have taken.

[@bobhoward6676]

Hi, Uh, how much for just the room over the garage or in the corner of the barn? Any more is just too much maintenance, upkeep & property tax. It would never get used except by freeloaders. Someone could live there years and go un-noticed by the owners.

[@snowball51]

Absolutely gorgeous beautiful scenery.

[@SlinkyFromHell.4]

Biltmore also has a vineyard & dairy farm. At least it did when I visited some years ago.

[@southernmermaid2526]

They closed the dairy farm down and turned it into the winery. I worked there for 2 1/2 years. 🍇

[@Bird1964]

"The One" has been in the news quite a bit lately. It's been foreclosed on. Still trying to sell it, I think. I can't understand the need for any of these mansions. Even if I could afford this, it's just not me. Log cabin, fishing lake that's clear and clean to swim and fish in....yep. But, I'd love to take tours of them all. Gorgeous pictures

[@spicyirwin5835]

Log cabins burn. Global warming will destroy almost all homes/mansions/houses.

@@spicyirwin5835 I realize that but I'd still take my chances on a beautiful logo cabin. That's been a lifelong dream. I would feel lost in something like this!

Log cabin with running water cold and hot. These houses are too much excess.

[@johnunderwood-hp8rj]

I have been to the Biltmore on several occasions. It is truly magnificient. It even has hidden doorways and secret passage ways. There are no words to describe the grandure of this edifice. If you get the chance it is worth seeing.

One billionaire said to me the reason the ultra rich they build villas, castle, mansions is because 1. To express themselves 2 legacy 3 tax and less of profit. He said they take years to build just to evade tax in a way secondly a collection of memories art and knowledge

The rich sees an economic crisis as a garage sale the rich stays rich by investing and diversifying their portfolio with stocks, crypto currency and forex trading which is the wisest thing every individual needs to do and it's really profiting.

[@bartonjeffs9439]

Diversifying is the best key to investing being wealth And most time having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be a pleasing exercise .I can boldly say that forex and crypto is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status

[@markwaterfall8932]

That's true,most people today have been having a lot of failures in forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and bad experts

Awesome video. I could only dream one day to have something like this!!!

[@jackandjill9065]

I think Biltmore is impressive, especially the exterior. I do believe that the rooms are too small and way too much of the square footage is given to accommodate the servants that traveled with the guest of the era. In short, the floor plan isn’t suitable to our modern way of living. The halls are narrow and the floor plan is messy, my opinion.🤷‍♀️ I am not a minimalist, but I prefer the movie producer’s home over all the claustrophobia and mind clutter of a museum when it comes to actually living in it!

[@spottheborgcat6523]

Interesting take on the experience. I never considered the servants accomodations.

[@arikthompson5495]

The rooms are too smal...? Check out the dining room.
