    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.

    Biltmore Estate actually took 5 years to construct after George Washington Vanderbilt, William Morris Hunt & Frederick Law Olmsted spent about 3 years traveling the world, designing & redesigning it.

      I've been there three times (well worth the expense) but never had a clear answer on how long it took to build it. It seems to depend on when you start timing: the research, the industries to fabricate various parts of the chateaux, etc. Are you saying it took only two years between the first shovel of dirt disturbed until it was ready (in part) for moving in?

      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).

I think they have done an amazing job to hold onto it when so many others have been torn down or left to rot?? I flew from Australia to see it and I wasn't disappointed at all. Of every Vanderbilt mansion still standing..I have seen them all. Biltmore is my absolute favourite of them all. You sound a tad bitter?? It was George Vanderbilt's dream to put his house there and NOT follow all the rest to Newport RI. He loved the solitude and peace?? Good on him. What he left for all of us lucky enough to have actually been there..is an absolute masterpiece.

The grandson spent all his money on women, travels, yachts, cars and alcohol and his "mansion" (also on Long Island) is quite modest in comparison.
