    The largest private home in the United States is Biltmore Estate. The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, is the largest home in the U.S. and comes in at a staggering 175,000 square feet. The character that is in the house will always be 1st in my mind. I've been there many times and it is always my family's favorite.

    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 live on Long Island just minutes away from Oheka castle. It was at one point a military academy and for a long time it sat vacant. As mentioned it is now a hotel with reasonable rates of $400 a night. Well reasonable for Long Island. Quite breathtaking. And Biltmore is another product of Long Island. The Vanderbuilt name is well known here as Grandpa started the business. That's his son's home. 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.

  • @bbsara0146

    Wow Biltmore is an absolute monster. I bet they converted it to a museum as a tax dodge, since the taxes and upkeep on that place alone would be massive. And if I were a rich person today I would rather have a bunch of smaller houses and condos around the world than one massive house with 35 bedrooms in the middle of nowhere. lol

      It is done like a village with shops and restaurants. The upkeep would be huge and the family decided to open it to the public rather than sell it and have someone subdivide it. 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.

If some of the posters here haven't visited this magnificent home and grounds, it's time to put this one on their bucket list while traveling. A most memorable trip each time I've been there!
